A set of hand guards went on (be rude not to really :-)



Then a few personal mods.
Firstly the 250f is already quite a low bike, but as I ride a trials bike most of the time, I like a bike that I can work in the tight stuff with peg weighting more than using my knees.
So I picked up a set of lowering links on fleabay.
The intention is to have the suss lowered when it is set up at a later date, but as these were peanuts I thought I'd have a punt.
The standard links on the 10 models are 124mm these links are 128mm.

I wanted to be able to check measurements and differences in a controlled way, so I parked the bike with its wheel against the cooker in the kitchen (as you do) and made certain it was vertical. (The bike not the cooker ;-)

Then I measured from the wall to the edge of the headlight plastic.
The premise being that as the rear lowers the front highpoint (headlight plastic) will move further away from the wall.
The other measurements were the fork tops to the floor/ the rear mudguard to the floor etc.

The links went on..
