    Actually looks kind of mean without rear fenders, and one heck of a lot better than it did before.

    Nice, I recently became a 250es convert from it's smaller brother (I have 200e also) and have realized that the 250 Big Reds never die. Also; those rear fenders are savable (I don't see missing plastic or cracks from your pics). A heat gun will bring back the color from the sun fade. If there are cracks just pull-tie stitch them. Also there is some rub using flax seed oil and turpentine (Have to google it). Or just run it as is. I must admit I am jealous that yours came with the ultra rare Hondaline Dip-bars on the rear rack for working your triceps at the beach.

    She cleaned up nicely! Did you recover the seat yourself? I too noticed the dip bars on the rear rack - see, Honda thinks of everything!

    Nice job on the seat and I love the white tank. I just got one yesterday in very similar shape with no rear fenders.

    What are you using for a 12 inch wheel up front?

    I'm not sure I'm actually trying to figure that out lol I got the rears installed and used 25x10-12 but i think I'm going to go 24x8-12 for the front; hopefully it looks ok Click image for larger version.  Name: IMG_4460.JPG  Views: 21  Size: 1.67 MB  ID: 238765
