    @Spotthedogg

    Have you given any thought to making these (custom exhaust and dash) available for us not so gifted VT250 owners to buy?

    Anything is possible but the cost would be ridiculous. I bought that exhaust used from Japan and had parts made/bought materials and have about $1000 into it with free labour. So maybe $1500. The dash with tach would be about $550

    I had a feeling you were going to quote numbers like that. It's a shame as the exhaust seems like it might help gain a few ponies (plus it looks awesome!). Let us know how it goes.

    I'm onto it. I/We don't have a Spada anymore, but I'm more interested in the 250/4 turbo kits like this Balius they have done.

    http://tinyurl.com/n69dxcx

    I've seen a few turbo Spadas over the years

    Sad to see photobucket no longer allows sharing our photos from their free hosting site, so many great threads now have dead picture links. If you want to see some of my latest pictures you can look at Scott Campbell Motor Racing on Facebook

    Cheers

    Wow, I haven't posted here for ages! I am still developing and racing the VTR250

    I also acquired a 1989 Hawk GT/NT650 race bike and developed that into something I really love!
