WR250R subframe

The subframe finally arrived from the powdercoater.

I've been anxiously awaiting this day to come, and now that it is here, I spent an hour an a half putting the subframe back in place. You may think that it is too much time. Well, between re-cutting the threads and trying to get the subframe in place, that's how long it took me.

For now, it is still only hand-tightened. I still have a few things left over to out in their proper spot, some wires to straighten out, and a couple of dust shields to put in place - if I ever figure out where they belong.

The bike is so well designed that it is almost impossible for my hands to find an opening large enough  to move things around.

For now, however, I'm happy with the color and finish. The powdercoater did a great job, and the finish is nice and smooth. The color of choice - Mirror Blue from Eastwood.

I also had a small tab welded onto the frame right where the teeny factory toolbox belonged. It will serve to attach a tool tube.
