thanks everyone!
next is matching front rim with raked trees.
before i got it going i was wiring up the r/t/b unit and i burnt a fuse so my 1st ride was up to the auto store for new fuses and when i came out there was a group of 4 people standing there checking it out. that moment made it all worth it. they couldnt believe it was a honda.
the 250 does handle different. i notice it most if i am on a road that has ruts worn in it from all the traffic. the bike wants to stay in the rut and it will kind of drag you into it.
