So i bought the bike back in January during a one week of good weather we had. I found it on craigslist in denver, co for 3000 with 4k miles on it... The biek was an 2008 blue and It looked immmaculate when i got there. The test drive was the first time ive driven a bike in about 5 years...

My first bike was a 95 ninja 250. I drove it for the summer and beat the **** outta it. LOVED IT. Always knew i was gonna get another and once the new body style came out it was a sealed deal... So here i was, no plates, no insurance, no moto endorsment, etc...in the middle of winter and i drive this beast 4 hours from denver into the mountains at about 25' degree weather the whole time. Not to mention it was sunset/ dark out. Wow what an amazing first date with my new ninja... pretty life changing... This summer i plan on taking it back to michigan, from here in Colorado, and making a month trip out of it. Havent been back to visit my fam in over 3 years!! cant wait.. So since the bikes been back here in avon, co i havent gotten a chance to ride cuz it snows every other frickin day. but ive done a lot on the 2 month of it sitting in the garage. Heres my list:

Area P 18" full race mid high mount system flat end cap, black hanger bracket
Area P custom jet kit ( still got to adjust everything)
K and N dual pod air filter (removed stock box)
Breather filter
grips
levers
double bub windscreen smoked tint
black windscreen bolts
black keyless gas cap
integrated blinkers smoked taillight
hot bodies fender elim.
Black "kawasaki" tank stickers ( to cover white)
custom cell phone/ipod mount
new clutch lever pivot bolt
ninja stickers removed
removed passenger pegs
keen air sytem removed
flush mount front blinker lights

just wanted to clean the bike up a bit and make it my own. I did all the work on my own and being a newb to all this i was pretty scared i was gonna f sumthin up, but now looking back on it all the ninja is so FREAkIN easy to work on.

thanks for checking this out, i know ive been on the site for like 3 months but ive never said what up. so WHATTTT UPPPPPP
