Simple modifications

[Mace]

These modifications wont make your bike faster, cooler looking or whatever. but theyre great do-it-your-self tips that just might make that difference.
1. Have you ever dropped your bike and broken the clutch or brake lever all the way off?? real pain, aint it?? especially the clutch lever. This is what i do...Take your levers off and drill a small 6mm (depending on the lever) hole in the middle of the lever. This way (when you fall) the lever will break off at the middle and leave a little stump on for braking and shifting. it might feel sadistic drilling your brandnew shiny lever, but believe me ( i learned the hard way) it can save a whole load of hassle and "sans" clutch shifting.
2. For all of you with underpowered air-cooled 250's this is the way to stay "cool".
Weld on some 1cm aluminum strips to the cylinder-head fins. Extended cylinder head fins help stabilize engine temp. in all off-road situations and some on-road. the difference will be felt in high rpm - low gear situations such as steep mountain climbs, where a fully loaded 250 really has to rev its guts out to gain any sort forward motion.
