Klr 250 1030 clone

[RAYZER]

So I needed a bigger bike for the woods and street to replace the ke 100 that resided on the back of the camper when in route to an MV rally somewhere.
I was originally looking for the klr 650 to convert but thought it was physically to large for the application so went with the 250.
Found this 96 with 8k miles on her and preceded to strip her down for paint, service and replacement of all the stuff missing.
Installed new tubes and shinko 700 tires,
New sprockets and oring chain, military handle bars with bull bar ( thanks mwmules! ) and made a new seat cover to replace the blue one!
I've been riding her around town and love this bike, it's fast, light and does well off road!
I'm still looking for the military brush guard and luggage rack to complete the look, but think I'll not install the blackout lights or stencil it up, I think it looks cleaner as is.

Good looking bike, man that bike was ugly before you got it.

Looks really nice Ray! I don't know, small stencils wouldn't hurt the appearance I believe.

No doubt!
Some Krazy colors back then!

They referred to that as "Barbie" colors. Looks good Ray and if you change your mind I think I still have a few of the USMC decals for the side plastic I can bring down to the Ga Rally.

Very nice. What paint did you use?

True, I may end up doing that.
But for ease of cosmetic touch up or repaint, plain would be easy.

I think gsi (lable missing),single stage enamal, it was free from a friend, it's a ww2 color,

Nice work Ray, that came out really sharp! Where you going to mount the air-lift hooks? lol

Very nice! I actually have been wanting to do the same thing with a 250-class dual-sport bike. I was going to go all-out and drop in the blackout lights and was going to rack it up on an airlift bumper on my HMMWV for the "scout work" when off-roading. Really sharp work you've done.

Looks good Ray. Talking about Barbie colors I got this to throw in the back of the trailer so I don't have to walk to the showers at the Ga. rally. One rattle can of 383 and it might look ok.

James is that a 50 or an 80?

50cc

Ray,
I remember having to help you put the 100 cc bike up on the back of your truck last year after a meet. That 250cc would kill both of us if we tried that hand loading stunt. The crane you have now is a much better idea & safer too! You new bike looks very good indeed.

So I got the front lift/tie down attachments fabricated and installed, made up some straps and got it airborne!
Still need to figure out and make the rear
Lift attachment points.

Having fun on this bike, put a couple hundred miles on her!
