From what I can tell, those are special aftermarket pegs that have rough areas all around them, almost like the spiky end of velcro that hooks into anything that has a space. :D

That is blue. What temp do they bake your parts that spin in? I'd be afraid they might warp.

I heard a rummor (meaning I don't know if it is true or not) that coated wheels have a tendency to chip. Do you know if that's a fact?

The coating can Chip if Its to Thick or Under Cured..

If Coated right Powder coated wheels will Hold 100+ Times Better & Longer
then Liquid painted wheels.. Ive Done Hundreds of Sets of wheels with No problems..

I have Done about 25 sets for a couple Stunt Bike Teams and They hold up Great , and Those Guys are "Hell" on wheels..Literally...LOL

I used SOUPY'S Front & Rear Full lowering Kit..

Its about 1'' in front and about 2'' in Rear..

Little Rougher Ride but not bad.. I will have to raise the rear back up 1/2'' or so so Rear tire Doesnt hit inner fender on Big bumps ...

At $50 its kind of costly but seems worth it if your doing four car calipers. You could probably do 2 or 3 bikes with one kit. They color match for $99!!

I'd buy this kit if I had another ninjette rider in the area interested in splitting the cost an hanging out for the day
