Yeah, I decided on living with the chrome and using the WD40 on the pipe when it's not being ridden. I could also use NeverDull as well to clean and protect it at the same time. Redwhiteblue, that sounds like a blast and I've never gone up to Springfield. However, after I get settled in at my new place and get the garage all insulated nicely, I'll probably tear down the 250 to the frame and start over with a proper rebuild. Gonna redo the frame, either rebuild the rear shock or get a new one, possibly new plastic, some wheels and tires, the whole nine yards basically. Definitely focus on the rear shock, frame, and I'll need a new right case cover since the bolt heads broke off. A lot of fun stuff to do
