Nope....I like it that way myself.

Did Kim ever find any boots?
Squidward said:It was the single worst feeling i've ever had in my life. There was nothing I could do to stop it. I had gone around the corner first and the wind was strong enough to push my fat pig of a TL1000R off it's line. When she came around and the wind gusted, she had no chance.
Squidward said:It's mechanically sound, so now it is time to finish altering the bodywork, tear it all back down, clean up the welds, paint the frame, get the Muzzy and modify it into a high mount, adjust the valves, put it all back together, rejet, synch carbs, and throw it on the Dyno at Piper's. No matter how much gets done, there is always more to go.
bushwhacker said:I am seriously impressed. My mechanical ability runs more toward "take a bolt out, put a bolt in". Anything more complicated than that and I, unfortunately, let someone else do it.
I look forward to seeing it and you guys on the road.

The front fairings that were so kindly donated by an Aprilia RS250, will not be put to use. Their was no way to get them adequately mounted while allowing sufficient clearance for exhaust, engine cases, clip-ons(and hands). So the project rolls on. In the interim, we got a steal of a deal on a brand new off the showroom floor 2002 ZR-7S. They were practically giving it away to get it off their floor after 3+ years. The 250 is being used to get her confidence back while we get the Z set up for her to ride it comfortably and safely.scratch said:Congratulations! Good to know that you're back in the saddle again.
Can't wait to see how the the bike looks with the new fairing mounted.
I think we are just going to streetfighter it.scratch said:Well, that sounded pretty ambitious, but ya never know until you try. If you want I'll bet you can piece together the original bodywork over time pretty cheaply. Maybe offset the cost by putting the RS250 bodywork up for sale. The ZR7 is the sort of bike you can grow into and end up keeping for a long, long time.
DucGirl said:one thought - I don't know if there is a reaosn that you are looking ONLY at womens gear, but being female myself, I've given up on womens gear....
it's either made for women who have ultra skinny legs and no muscle (for the pants) or it got pink everywhere on it (I HATE pink) or the boots are entirely too narrow...
I've found that the mens gear fits just fine and it's not covered in girly pink stuff everywhere....
just a thought!
glad to hear you are back out on the bike!

I can't even find men's boots small enough to fit me or I would try them on. I think one of our Cycle Gears only had Frank Thomas ladies boots, or touring boots, and Moto Liberty's selection was slim to none unless you wanted a cutesy touring boot with a big chunky heel.
I wear a men's size small Joe Rocket Alter Ego jacket, and men's Fox Racing size medium Bomber gloves.

ahh - yes, I know how that goes.
I'm in a slightly differnet situation I guess. Since we have given the local dealership so much business they are more than willing to order in something for us and if it doesn't fit or we don't like it, they take the hit, send it back and get something else....
Though....I would imaging that you could do that with just about any dealership.
If you are ever in the Dallas area there are 2-3 other shops up there that carry nothing but gear...
DucGirl said:Moto Liberty - @ 35 & 635
Cycle Gear in Plano off of 75 off of Parker or Park or something like that
Honda of Plano also has a good selection...or was it Plano Honda? something like that
those are the three places that I remember us going to

A couple of things,,,, If you need some ninja 250 parts my wife has some spares on a roller we bought for parts for her bike(complete rolling frame some bodywork,Electrics, wheels, forks,brakes,etc etc...)).Also what about the RD250 bodywork that you were going to use? still got it ? It might fit her NS50F Roadracer(same size as an RS125)
