Hey there,
Recently got myself a 2001 GZ250 Marauder locally here in Melbourne, Australia. I like the thing but it'll be time for more power very soon. Either a VFR400 or a 600RR me thinks. I have no car and the bike is all I have to get around on - I reckon cars are for pansies! :2tup:
Anywho, while I've had it, I've gotten some low-rise handlebars for it (Eliminator brand) and removed the rear seat (looks better IMO). Also chopped up the rear license plate surround and made it fairly minimal in profile which I like (see rear view pic).
I also positioned a regular coiled bike lock under the seat so that I can attach the helmet to the left side of the bike and have it secure which I recommend for everyone - works a treat!
(Just have the 2 ends coming out the left side near the airbox and run it through the D-ring on your helmet and lock it, then just keep the key for it on your keychain and hey presto).
You can see the red cable on the right hand side of the bike in the pics below. I can post pics of the left side if people want.
I'm planning on getting some low profile mirrors for it and am undecided on the headlight for now (as Im concerned about resale potential with a lot of mods being illegal here in Australia) but we'll see!
I'm a big fan of the cafe racer style of bikes and was inspired by the mono shock conversion that I saw on here a little while back and that black one with the Harley muffler, dual beam headlights and chopped rear fender. :rawk:
Here's some piccies (excuse the dirt, was a rush photo tonight) :retard:
I've just written up another thread on some LED indicators I've gotten for it and have a few questions. If u can help me out with it, please follow the link
