That's about it, I would really like to some how install a quick realese seat on this bike. Something like a KTM comes with would be excellent. GoFasters has a kit for some Gassers but I haven't seen a kit for the 12's yet. Are am I wrong? I'm tired of creepin' on this forum and ready to to learn and participate!! Thanks guys and gals!
I originally did a different mod prior to updating my subframe.

But here is the link to what I believe is the best way to do it using a Dzus Fastener.

I've been busy twisting wrenches on my '11 EC250 since December. So far I've sent the head and carb off to R-B Designs, added Flexx bars with Renthal kevlar grips and Cycra bark busters. Replaced the rear wheel bearings/seals and added Checkpoint wheel spacers. I ditched the inner tube in the rear and added a Tubliss system. And I just finished adding a Rekluse 3.0 EXP core.

I also made a set of 3/4" handle bar spacers and a plate to space my brake pedal out 3/8". The brake just felt awkward to me after adding the Rekluse clutch cover.

I washed mine today. It is getting very tired it needs;

new pipe
new piston
new plastic
new brakes and rotors
suspension service front and rear
swingarm bearings
footpeg mounts rewelded
gouge in swingarm repaired
carb float bowl is trashed from chain rub
clutch slave is also trashed from chain rub
new levers
new shifter
flex bars rebuilt
and a bunch of little stuff.

At some point I am going to have to replace it

I wouldn't say that but thanks Chris! I also removed the G2 throttle and 400 cam and installed the stock one for better engine response. Thanks every one for your responses and the warm welcome!

Ninja edit: Where is the rod on your Lectron? My bike wouldn't start with the basic setting, so I can't tune it. If you can drop me a PM with your basic setting as a baseline I'd appreciate it.
PSCOOK -- I responded to your question in the Lectron discussion.

Full Cervantes replica plastic kit arrived today. Looks awesome but needs some tweaking before install - will get rid of these #25 stickers and replace these with a solid red background (#25 is not available in these 3 series we plan to participate). Will replace the black front light/numberplate plastic with a white one.
