In my search for a new look for my old 2001 CR250, I wanted to try to keep somewhat of a retro look, but also add a custom touch. I decided that instead of getting a pre-packaged graphics set, that I would take a few that I liked and create my own look. The shroud graphics came from Rocky Mountain ATV and are made by Factory Effex There are many options, but the option I ended up with was to actually take a 2002 CR250 graphic and trim it up a bit to fit on my bike. I think it looks killer and the quality of the graphics are really good. For the rest of the bike, I chose to use Attack Graphics. These are sold through Rocky Mountain ATV and allow you to choose from a few different styles and a bunch of different color combinations. These are actually sold as number plate backgrounds and can be ordered with a number of your choice pre-printed in your choice of style and color. I chose to leave them blank with the exception of our website address printed on the front number plate.
These graphics look great and really are reasonably priced. I was super happy with the way it all turned out and I think they will hold up quite well. For the rear fender, I got a new black fender with a One Industries Fender Graphic. I chose black because the white was getting discolored by the exhaust to frequently and it was hard to keep clean. With the fresh shock rebuild, top end, new reeds and a recent bottom end rebuild, it should run like a new bike as well as look like a new bike. In case you're wondering, the side plates have been trimmed a bit on the rear of the bike. It was an experiment that I ended up liking, so it stuck.
