    My bike is 1990 FZR250, exup model. Still in its original condition, except the front indicators. Recently I did little mods to my bike. The right back view mirror on my FZR had a damage on it since I purchased it in 2006, I came to know of a repair shop recently so I decided it was time to get it repaired. Here is the old pic with the damage area encircled:

    Also the paint on both the mirrors had a worn out look with some scratches on it, time for new paint as well (only the mirrors). The old look:

    And after new paint <!-- s:D --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif" alt=":D" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s:D -->

    The original seat of the bike was in black colour, as can be seen in the very first pic. I wanted to get it in matching colour so I bought a sheet and had the seat made from a seat maker in the local market, looks cool eh!! Also added 1 inch foam sheet to the front seat for more comfort:

    Since I bought the FZR as a used bike and it has had several owners before me, I didn't get any tool kit with the bike. I had to buy some of the tools myself.

    I myself stitched this tool bad from the remaining sheet used for the seat in above pics. Here are the pics of my tools and the tool bag. The tool bag isn't stitched to perfection, but considering it was my first time with the sewing machine...I have done a marvel <!-- s:lol: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_lol.gif" alt=":lol:" title="Laughing" /><!-- s:lol: -->

    My FZR needs tuning badly. Winter is coming and with it will come the cold start problems. I need to have the tapit rods settings checked. Looking for an opportunity to take it to a good mechanic because I'll have to transport the bike to a bigger city, lets see.

    hi, the rear tyre is 130/70-17. I am not sure what's the original size for this bike...this one is bit flatter like a drag race tyre, not good at all for doing fast corners.
