Sweeeet! Best looking 250r I've seen so far! Great Job!
New paint and more! (Project Update)
4
Just a quick update on my bike progress. Yes, I was lazy and this is all repeat info if you've read it on Kawiforums 
Not trying to spam post and fish for compliments. I will respond to you guys! haha.
Recently added:
- Zartan's awesome exhaust hanger!!
- Intuitive frame slider kit (Purchased brick n' mortar at Bert's Mega Mall in Azusa)
- Fresh flat black paint + flat black clear coat on the fairings (to match the A-Tech / MS-Sailing bike). I might add some dark grey A-Tech decals on the fairings, but I'm not sure yet. I might mock it up in Photoshop first.
- Pit Bull rear stand (to replace my cheapo generic one). I took the pics before rushing to work this morning so two pieces of 2x4's had to suffice.

Mods crossing the ocean now:
- Beet rear sets
- A-Tech SPL CF front fender
- A-Tech CF race tank pad
Then my little beast of a 250 is finished
The fairing accents cost me $240 ($120 per side). The funny story behind this is that the guy who painted my bike also painted the cars from The Fast and The Furious haha. The paint shop is this tiny hole-in-the- wall in North Hollywood. I went to the back and saw some of the cars and was like "what the heck?" Anyway, it was funny at the time.

Looking good! Even if you are fishing
Any more details on the sliders?

It's about 4 weeks of wait time every time I order something from Japan.
The Pit Bull stands are some of the best (if not THE best). They are fully adjustable to accommodate any motorcycle and they are built to withstand an atomic blast from Godzilla. Not to mention it looks pretty nice too
My original stand was just bent steel...non-adjustable. Yep! Highly recommend picking up a set if you can.
I sent Inturace an e-mail asking for a product list for the 08 Ninja 250R. This was their reply:
We have Frame Sliders FS-88 $124.95 and
Swing Arm Sliders SS-19 $32.95
Thank you
Might save some e-mails.

A lot of online retailers don't have them in stock, so people might have to email Inturace directly to order still. Thanks for posting the info. I paid retail for my set.
I'm going to Photoshop something this afternoon to see how it looks
This is what I was going for
A lot of people have said they like it all white too. Maybe it's just because it's hard to truly judge something by a photo alone haha.
I don't speak japanese. Google's translator actually works really well for that site. http://translate.google.com/translate?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.a-tech.org%2Fshop%2F&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&sl=ja&tl=en
Each price coincides with a different material. Fiberglass and various carbon fiber weaves. On the top right of their store page you'll find a clickable image called "Material Colorings". This explains their naming conventions:
My carbon fiber pieces were all ordered in the "T/C" option because I personally felt it reflected the type of CF I was looking for.
Hope this helps!
If I can get the parts to a scale. I don't have one at home
I received the pieces today and the carbon fiber piece weights practically nothing (just like the rear fender). I can do a cro-magnon esque weight determination with my hands (haha), but I can tell you it'll be lighter. It should make any difference to the bike though if that's what you're wondering.If I can get the parts to a scale. I don't have one at home

It shouldn't make any difference to the bike though in terms of handling if that's what you're wondering. We're talking difference in mere ounces only haha.1 - 20 of 22 Posts
