Aloha Guys

I've been working on building a Read Titan-esque caf racer from a 2011 Suzuki TU 250. Been having a few teething problems getting the fairing to fit, but slowly it's coming together.

In the photo you can see the mods I've made thus far...new Avon AM26 Roadriders, Emgo exhaust, Bonnie-esque seat, clubman bars, bar end mirrors, LED tailight. The TU is a great place to start to create a modern café racer with its reliable FI 250. Not too fast...80-ish thus far. But it might ton-up with the fairing and a long downhill run.

Glad to come back here to get some learnin'...

Welcome aboard sir. Sorry about the delayed welcome. Good looking bike you have there!

Tu250x's are great bikes, I've thought about working one over before. Interested to see what you come up with...

Thanks for the welcome guys! I hope I wasn't being a whiny bitch.

The TU has a lot of potential and is cheap for a new bike. Since I don't really have a lot of 'open road' it suits me here.
Cheers.
btw topoisomerase is one of my favorite enzymes. ;D

Welcome to DTT.

Kauai is an awesome place. There's some decent open roads!
That place is an absolute blast on a dual sport bike.

Our Bad Kauai1800! Welcome to the site. Cant comment on the bike since I have no experience with that model, but it looks like a great start.
