What were you using to put the grips on with? I know the grips I recently put on my KDX said NOT to use contact, brake, or carb cleaner when installing them. Your picture looks like you used something that wasn't compatibly with the grip material. Just curious.

The bike is coming along nicely though, looks good.

I just used grip glue. This never happened with the pillow top grips, renthal, or msr grips. Kinda sucks, but it is minor.

Everything is finally done and I got to ride it today. Didn't really feel that comfortable on it, but it is set up WAY different than my 450, so switching back and forth was odd. It doesnt rev out like I'm used to but I think that is the 13/52 gearing, but it gets there quick. Anyway here are some more pics.......

well that bike wasn't known for it's snappy motor, it was basically a 2 stroke tractor, it had good, smooth mid power, but not much on the bottom or top. It was best short shifted in the mid and required a lot of clutch work to keep it singing. A Vforce or Boysen reed block with it tremendously. As will a power core2 silencer in connection with that pipe.
 The good thing about the gearing is that you now have a useable 1st gear. :P

If a pair of 2" brass balls isn't working, I doubt that the 3" model will make much difference.

It was a fun project, actually I guy offered me 1200 for it today, so I sold it. I've got my eye on a nice 04 RM250.
