OJ’s Buy Once Cry Once Build Thread

[havinnoj]

Saw this in person today. I wish I could afford to cry once like that.

Thanks Gene.  I should change the title of this thread so I don't have to think about what that crying actually cost me lol

I wouldn't cry much now. The smile factor when you ride it. Out weighs it

A sweet ass 250r is like having a beard. It makes you more of a man and women will want you much more.  So they must be tears of joy lol

Quick pics as-is for the rest of the season.

Man that thing looks TOUGH! Very over the top. I like it.


Any videos of it? I would love to hear that Puma.

Also, what case saver is that??

[hickwheeler]

It's a UPP case saver. They are a great way to go. They just take a little time to make them fit nice

Thank you sir.  No videos of it, will have to get some on the next outing.

Like Gene mentioned, it's a UPP case saver.  It's a beefy piece but needs a bit of work to get fitment right (http://uppracing.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=75)

Man I love those orange plastics for a duner. Once you get all the colors how you like them, and get some rad shrouds that thing will be perfect. Badass

Thanks Clay. The paint is 10-12 years old and chipped, cracked in a few places.  Will do the colorscheme this winter - may stick to the same paint colors on the plastic and update the frame to work with it.  And agreed on the rad shrouds, have a few OMF just haven't got them on.  Or may go carbon shrouds to match the intake.

I have been thinking about CF shrouds myself. I think I might try to wrap my shrouds now with some CF looking vinyl

Riding season is over and getting ready to tear this guy apart and finish up the color scheme and a few other things.   I'll probably keep this orange painted set (with some touch up work) - what are your guys thoughts on frame color?
