Hey hows it going.

I am fresh to the scene and just got my first bike which I'm making into a Streetfighter. Fortunately it's not a big bike like most on here or turbo, just a humble 89' Honda Spada - VT250.

I don't have a private garage to stack tools and it is my daily everything, so all things are done on days off in one go kind of thing.

Picture - Most recent has been sanded and two coats of primer.

Any help or advice is always awesome - Cheers.

Welcome mate and don't sweat the 250, it's a fighter and that's the thing here!

I have been spending a lot of time going on big rides getting better at twisties etc, but more so than that I have cut out all the cancer of bad wiring, put stock loom back in, also have new modern levers, front brake cylinder all in a nice dark metal finish.

Last few things to do are fix the tank, fit my CBR belly fairing, moto gp exhaust and just touch up paint here and there :)

From january onwards I'm looking to build a bobber for day time cruising and use the Spada for the bends.

Sorry for lack of updates, once the new levers etc are here which should be this week ill take photos and show all up to date.

Hope all are well,
Jareth.

This is a hell of a lot more important than what you're doing to the bike. Keep up the good work mate.
