Bike build want opinions
Hey everybody I'm about finished with round one. Picked up a gz250 on cl for 500 bucks and wanted to do something cool with it ended up replacing wiring harness due to hacked connectors. While it was down I hit the frame replaced the gas tank and clipped a few springs on the shocks and installed pod filter with jet kit and a new pipe. So what do ya think? Ugly or awesome?

Holy shit! It can defy gravity?!?
Personal opinion, I would pick a single color theme. Kind of fits the whole Rat Bike approach that way. I can love it, if it was all one color. |

I can't seem to figure out how to get the tires back on the ground... Kinda frustrating. I wasn't a big fan of the chrome so I blacked everything out with engine primer,was thinking about ditching the front fender and do the tank black too.

I love it, but I'd love the front fender. Just my personal preference though.

It rides like a dream! A bit loud but it is smooth and stable in turns,18 inch ape hangers are comfy as hell anywhere but stop go traffic. I got this awesome hood ornament of a chipped old chrome swan that I want to bolt on the front fender. My truck broke Down today though so it looks like I will be joining the blue knuckle club again. I think it's coming along for having barley 700 in it.
Thanks for the feedback on this it really means a lot to me. |

The bike doesn't appeal to me that much but do not feel insulted. I'm just an old guy with different tastes in appearance. It is your bike and your opinion/desires should be the most important concern. If you like it then all is good.
