I have had an illness for the last seven months and haven't been able to do much, including riding. So I bought a left over 2006 RC Edition RM250 and went to work. Completed the bike about four weeks ago, now it just sits under a tarp in my garage. I should be back on the bike within the next two-three months. Below is the list of all the new parts/mods I have completed:

- Powdercoated the frame (semi gloss black)
- Powdercoated ignition/clutch covers (metallic silver)
- Hinson clutch basket, pressure plate, inner hub, wiseco stiff springs
- Provalve suspension, sprung and revalved
- Eric Gorr porting package
- FMF factory fatty pipe
- Boyesen power reeds
- Applied triple clamps
- TAG XT-1 bars
- Works Connection Elite clutch perch
- New 08 CRF450 front brake master cylinder and brake pads
- Tag front and rear sprockets
- DID ER chain
- TMDesigns chain guides
- Bridgestone 403/404 tires
- Works connection frame guards
- G2 aluminum throttle tube
- One industries graphics/backgrounds/seat cover
- Twin air filter

Nice! Funny I'm about to spoil my RM with a bunch of new parts and TLC. Won't be as extravagant as that though!

Go custom. A company like Fusion Graffix could make that thing look prestine. (BTW I dont own or work for Fusion, just love their stuff). They have a lot options for you at a fair price.

nice! Me too actually. Have all the parts now and plan on doing the rebuild this weekend! Also got front and rear springs from racetech to hold my 200lbs gorilla ass , LMAO!!! Here's how my RM stands today.

The 01+ RM's have the best look IMO.

This is only pic I have of my 2007 RM250 when it was all apart. I bought it brand new & took it & stripped to the frame & had it sandblasted & had all the welds rewelded & then we clear powdercoated it so you can see all the[/img] welds. It came out mint. the pics don't show it. you need to see it in person.
