Hey everyone

Hey people, I am new to the site, just bought the girlfriend an 02 GZ 250, she loves it, not ready to ride yet, schedule for motorcycle safety course tho. If anybody has parts for sale I would be interested in mirrors and windshields in excellent condition.

Have you looked at ebay yet? Some good deals there. Windshield, most use the spitfire which runs about $60.

Welcome to the site. That was a nice gift for your girlfriend. Glad to hear she is going to take the safety course. Probably the best first purchase you all can make.
There are not too many parts available just for the GZ250 but mirrors and windshield aftermarket parts should not be a problem. I just installed a spitfire on my wifes GZ250 and she is pleased with how it blocks the wind and looks good. I only need to tweek it a little more for a perfect fit.

Cheers!

I installed the spitfire windshield on mine last week and it is great.
You can get them at ebay from MAWonline. Just do a search for
Slipstreamer S-06 Spitfire Windshield with 7/8
this fits the gz250 and it goes on in minutes. got mine plus shipping for less than $55.00.

I have a like new Slipstreamer S-06 Spitfire windshield, it's clear, I had on my GZ250 for about two months. I'll sell it for $55.00, I think that should cover shipping as well.

mstevens · 02-14-2007, 10:01 AM

Hey BadMojo, Does that winshield have any scratches at all on it? Does it come with the brackets?

BadMojo · 02-14-2007, 11:03 AM

I'm sorry I should have posted actual pictures. I just got home from work and made a quick post. Here is a picture of what I have. Brackets, yes, scratches, two or three hairline bug splatters (normal wear), not noticeable until you put your face up to it, I had to really look hard. Hope these help, the lines in the middle are flash reflection, I'm not very good at taking pics.

Hey badmojo, you get rid of the 250 or just dont like the windshield. Where in southwestern Ill. do you live? I used to be stationed at Scott AFB and my dad used to live in Marissa (coal miner).

Davidc83 - I used to be stationed at Scott, too, back in 1987 until 1990. Used to toss darts at Gillian's - I think that was the name of the place, anyway.

davidc83 · 02-14-2007, 03:33 PM

dang, I was stationed there between 82-90. I used to go to Gillians also, plus the vfw outside the south gate, plus a couple of places in fairview heights (mainly bars in the hotels) plus a place in Lebanon, plus a couple of places in Belleville. small world.
Which unit was you assigned? I worked in the Medical Center in the laboratory, mostly evenings (6 of the 8 years).
