Look what arrived in the mail today:

My WR250R Build. - Page 2 IMG_1370


My case saver! All the way from the big US of A!!

My WR250R Build. - Page 2 IMG_1373

mmmmm Jolly Rogers, we don't get them down here!

My WR250R Build. - Page 2 IMG_1371


Out with the old:

My WR250R Build. - Page 2 IMG_1374


In with the new:

My WR250R Build. - Page 2 IMG_1379


My WR250R Build. - Page 2 IMG_1380


Such good quality and so damn quick and easy to fit. After funny noises from the chain the other week, this will give me piece of mind if it ever does decide to let go. Looks sweet too!



After last weeks trail ride, this will be a welcome addition as the stock cover was literally full of mud and grit etc.

So today's job was a tool tube. I wanted somewhere permanent to carry my tools until I made my rallye bash plate. So a quick and simple tool tube was on the cards.

I had some PVC pipe and got a few fittings (finally one of my projects actually costs me money!!)

My WR250R Build. - Page 2 IMG_1382


Fabricated a mounting bracket for the pipe:

My WR250R Build. - Page 2 IMG_1383


My WR250R Build. - Page 2 IMG_1384


I then made some "Straps" by bending some metal in the shape of the pipe on my anvil and welded them in place. Trying to get it to match as close to the exhaust on the other side as possible.

My WR250R Build. - Page 2 IMG_1385

My WR250R Build. - Page 2 IMG_1386


All this needs to fit in this little pipe:

My WR250R Build. - Page 2 IMG_1388


Somehow I JUST made it all fit and all was good:

Big box arrived ALLLL the way from the US of A.

My WR250R Build. - Page 2 IMG_1521


All looks good

My WR250R Build. - Page 2 IMG_1522


Starting to pull the bike down

My WR250R Build. - Page 2 IMG_1526


All apart and ready for the fuel pump swap etc. (Bike is taken apart more than needed because I was fitting other stuff at the same time, more on that stuff later.)

My WR250R Build. - Page 2 IMG_1538


Mucking around with mine and my mates new tank

My WR250R Build. - Page 2 IMG_1532


Swapping stuff over:

My WR250R Build. - Page 2 IMG_1539


Fitting the splash line and re-mounting the fuel light sensor:

My WR250R Build. - Page 2 IMG_1540


The line I "T"ed into, I hope it was the right one!

My WR250R Build. - Page 2 IMG_1542


All fitted up:

My WR250R Build. - Page 2 IMG_1543


My WR250R Build. - Page 2 IMG_1547


I had to drill out the rear tank mounting holes a bit and also elongate the seat bolt holes. No problems though and now will be easy to take everything on and off.

Also added some stickers as you can see to try to offset the white tank a bit.

I also did a lot of new things in the "Cockpit". New handlebars - Tag Metal X5 in a YZ double high bend.

My WR250R Build. - Page 2 IMG_1554


Tag Metal grips with grip donuts:

My WR250R Build. - Page 2 IMG_1555


Under the grips are the heated grip elements:

My WR250R Build. - Page 2 IMG_1556


The wiring goes from the battery through a fuse, then one 12V outlet under the seat, then wires run to the front of the bike:

My WR250R Build. - Page 2 IMG_1562

My WR250R Build. - Page 2 IMG_1560


Up the front I have a 12v outlet for the GPS and also the wiring etc for the heated grips with the Hi Lo switch which is all run off a relay.

My WR250R Build. - Page 2 IMG_1564

My WR250R Build. - Page 2 IMG_1565

My WR250R Build. - Page 2 IMG_1567


The resistor for the grips gets super hot and started melting the electrical tape so I moved it down to the bottom triple clamp to act as a heat sink:

My WR250R Build. - Page 2 IMG_1570


This is where the switch for the heated grips is sitting for the time being.

My WR250R Build. - Page 2 IMG_1577


I ran a wire for my hour meter / Tacho only to find out I only got the hour meter one..... Shog I have the tacho one coming so its all good cause the wire is already there ready to go now.

My WR250R Build. - Page 2 IMG_1558

My WR250R Build. - Page 2 IMG_1561


I also added these adjustable bar risers. Not the best idea, but I tested them and they are super solid. I have them up 30mm.

My WR250R Build. - Page 2 IMG_1576

My WR250R Build. - Page 2 IMG_1578

My WR250R Build. - Page 2 IMG_1580

My WR250R Build. - Page 2 IMG_1581


So here is the completed cockpit with under bar mirrors and GPS all mounted up.

Fitted a 12 tooth front sprockets to help liven things up just a tad:

My WR250R Build. - Page 2 IMG_1582

My WR250R Build. - Page 2 IMG_1585


I also fitted some Michy AC10s front and rear with Michy 4mm ultra heavy duty tubes:

My WR250R Build. - Page 2 IMG_1586

My WR250R Build. - Page 2 IMG_1587

It is bloody hard getting the nipple out of the rim with 4mm tubes! I need one of those wire jigger things

My WR250R Build. - Page 2 IMG_1590


The weapons of the trade:

My WR250R Build. - Page 2 IMG_1591


I also balanced them up. Some stick on weights and a spoke weight for the rear:

My WR250R Build. - Page 2 IMG_1592

My WR250R Build. - Page 2 IMG_1598

Ok, well I got some time to play with the bike today. Gave it a good clean and check over, lube etc and also fitted my new barkbusters.


First cut the ends off the grips. On the throttle side I got the Dremil out and bored out the tube hole.

My WR250R Build. - Page 2 IMG_1645

My WR250R Build. - Page 2 IMG_1646


All fitted up:

What an awesome area to ride in. Is that something you can ride often? Every day? Close to home?
Your property????

I would pay money to have an area like that to ride in.

Sweet!!!!!!!

G'day mate. Yeah, it's my property, about 45 acres worth. I have just finished making the track and I ride the track every single day. I feel a bit strange if I have to miss a day of riding it....

They are just some cheap e-bay bar end mirrors that I have take a section out of. Check out the post about them in this build thread.

Update time.

I mounted the switch for the heated grips and fitted an hour metre / tacho. Both on custom made aluminium brackets:


My WR250R Build. - Page 2 IMG_1693


My WR250R Build. - Page 2 IMG_1694


I also added a Acerbis locking fuel cap, more on that soon.

I got some Pivot Pegs for it. It was cheaper to order them from the US even though they are made not far from where I live.... go figure!!

My WR250R Build. - Page 2 IMG_1818

My WR250R Build. - Page 2 IMG_1819


Then I refitted the 13T front sprocket because I wasn't happy with how high it was revving on the highway.

My WR250R Build. - Page 2 IMG_1820


While I was doing this, I could smell fuel. I found it was coming from one of the bungs on the new tank. I took the new Acerbis cap off the tank and a "Woosh" of air came out, so the vent wasn't working well enough to let air out, so the tank built up a lot of pressure which made the bung leak. So I syphoned the tank out, layed the bike over and added more thread tape to the bung and it hasn't leaked since.

Next things on the job list where to lower the brake pedal some more after the pivot pegs, so I got a smaller locking nut to add to the brake setup, resulting in this:

My WR250R Build. - Page 2 IMG_1829

Turns out it was too low and I had to adjust it up a bit, but at least it is not too high anymore.

Ok, so next was supposed to be heading off on an overnighter with a mate on his WRR. It was going to be more open faster dirt roads, so wanted to make up a bit of a screen to see if it helps out at all.

So anyway, our ride got totally rained out, so we postponed it. What else to do then but work on the bike!!

My WR250R Build. - Page 2 IMG_1958

My WR250R Build. - Page 2 IMG_1959


Time for radiator guard and something to fill the void on the other side where the plastic cover used to be. So I set out to find someone with some old bent up radiator guards that I could hack up and play with to make fit.

Scored these for $30 - from a KX 450 from memory. Devil brand.

My WR250R Build. - Page 2 IMG_1952

What it looked like

My WR250R Build. - Page 2 IMG_1953

My WR250R Build. - Page 2 IMG_1956

My WR250R Build. - Page 2 IMG_1955


Took a bit of cutting, bending and drilling to get it where I wanted it

My WR250R Build. - Page 2 IMG_1962

I decided to keep the back plastic fan cover and this also helped to hold the guard in place too, I just had to hack it up a bit

My WR250R Build. - Page 2 IMG_1960

The final product ready for fitting

My WR250R Build. - Page 2 IMG_1961

All done

My WR250R Build. - Page 2 IMG_1963

My WR250R Build. - Page 2 IMG_1964


Now for the other side. Again, took some bending etc, but it was actually pretty simple.

My WR250R Build. - Page 2 IMG_1965



So both sides all done. Very pleased with the way it turned out and super happy with the price!!

Really getting things ticked off my to do list lately!!

I made my own tail tidy. Pulled off the original tail:

My WR250R Build. - Page 2 IMG_1947

My WR250R Build. - Page 2 IMG_1951


I had many different plans and ideas in my head about how to do it, but things change as you actually pull things apart and see where things have to go and need to run etc.

Began cardboard mock up:

My WR250R Build. - Page 2 IMG_1983

My WR250R Build. - Page 2 IMG_1984


Once all was good, traced onto aluminium and cut out, started drilling the holes etc.

My WR250R Build. - Page 2 IMG_1985

Bending and cutting more etc:

My WR250R Build. - Page 2 IMG_1986

Checking for placement:

My WR250R Build. - Page 2 IMG_1987


Now on to the lighting. I used some LED windscreen sprayers that I got from E-bay for like $2.00:

My WR250R Build. - Page 2 IMG_1988

My WR250R Build. - Page 2 IMG_1989


I routed the wiring and hot glued it in place and then covered it all in hot glue, hopefully this will keep it from being damaged.

My WR250R Build. - Page 2 IMG_1990


What the light tabs look like from the top:

My WR250R Build. - Page 2 IMG_1991

And from underneath:

My WR250R Build. - Page 2 IMG_1992

All mounted up now:

My WR250R Build. - Page 2 IMG_1995

Profile:

My WR250R Build. - Page 2 IMG_1997

Looks good!

My WR250R Build. - Page 2 IMG_1998

How to hook all the wiring back up and see if these bad boys will actually light up:

My WR250R Build. - Page 2 IMG_1993


SUCCESS!! I love fabricating one off parts for my bikes and cars, you get such a sense of achievement from making it yourself and knowing that you just saved yourself big dollars paying for a boring off the shelf item that everyone else has.
