Re: Think my time with my GZ is sadly over . . . what now?

Here's her AFTER the transformation.

New pipes (Vance & Hines Cruzers).
Bagel (air filter) gone and replaced with what's called the GAK (Gonzo Air Kit) which is pods attached to the tops of the carbs. Re-jetted (from 90 mains to 127.5's).

Soon to get a seat mod, why do manufacturers insist on making horrible seats?

Nice Bike.

You should get a Silver Helmet to match it
instead of your old Green one you're wearing.

:tongue:

The manufacturers provide an aftermarket and employment demand to suck up the rest of your $$$.

You should try a rider seat backrest. It made a world of difference for my 2009 V-Star 650 Classic. I got a Grasshopper Limited Backrest. It takes about five minutes to install the bracket and the backrest is easily removable (though I'd never leave home without it). It's the best $85 I've spent on the bike. You can see it below.

We almost need a V-star sub-forum under the GZ250 umbrella. Many Harley riders I've encountered in parking lots have mistaken my V-star for a Harley too - I call it a Japanese Harley copy. Still can be awkward though.

I've actually had many Harley riders tell me what a nice bike I have. Makes me feel good.
