the reason we're kinda harsh about this is we don't want you to develop bad habits... bad habits are harder to break than just learning the right way the first time. ya know?
Oh yeah I would like to take it but I dont think my mom would lend me the money or my dad Im trying to fix up the bike right now (needs a new back tire, carbs cleaned [seafoam?], etc...) so I really dont have that much moolah right now. To tell the truth, I am trying to get this bike where I can make a fairly decent profit on it once I sell it so that I might be able to get a new 250.

or plastic epoxy from home depot should work good too, i think the stuff i used before was loctite plastic epoxy (sets in 7 minutes)... i'd go with the automotive stuff first though.
Thanks for the link Im looking for new fairings i think because when its all said and done with paint and all I may end up spending as much/more than in the long run. I found out that the lowermost fairing has a fairly large crack down the side of it. And when I took it off today to get to the engine to clean all the gunk off of it the bolts had been tightened so much that it cracked one of the tabs that you screw the bolt into and caused me to snap the other one off (plastic was real brittle too). So now the only way the bottom fairing will be able to stay on is by the three bolts on the left and one on the right. Ill have to get pics tomorrow. It kinda pisses me off how the guy I bought it from half assed everything he did to it.
