Calling all SR250 owners - more help needed
that's what I had to do to mine. made big washers and drilled 3 holes around them to get some weld in there. also had to weld a "top" on the mainstand as this was worn as well ( both wheels touched the ground on mainstand) drewps

XS Brake compatibility
if you have 2 disks for the front that's fine. thought you only had one (250) on the front! just helping you source another disk if the master cylinder from the 650 was for twin disks, it should be ok!

XS Brake compatibility
if you have the mounting for a caliper on the left side, you can use SR500 caliper and caliper mount (it even says left on the mount) you can get disks either from ebay or maybe the sr (not sure!) you then need to make up some new hoses as they will have to go from the master cyl using a double banjo. you also need an XS1100/750/850 master cylinder to push more brake fluid. the wheel has a plastic cover on with drillings for the brake disk.
