Elfling May 29th, 2009, 07:19 AM Effin a, that's pretty. *drools*
backinthesaddleagain May 29th, 2009, 08:12 AM guessing thats a cover over the swingarm? pretty sweet pieces though.
camaroz1985 May 29th, 2009, 08:47 AM I like everything except for the tank cover, but I guess you could leave that off. If I ever turn my bike into a track bike I will definitely consider this, though it doesn't look like it has a solid belly pan.
Greg, yes that is a swingarm cover. The OP is a distributor for Sprotisi and he could get that for you if you want. Here is the thread discussing that

Thanks - keeping mine mostly stock, not sure about the swingarm cover, but the rest is trick looking though.

Yes actually it does. The belly pan mounts on the inside of the body kit so you don't see it. This kit utuilizes the facotory mounting points and will mate with the stock front cowl.
Apex May 29th, 2009, 06:08 PM That is just HOT!

Thanks, good to know.
n4t June 1st, 2009, 08:58 PM How much is this going for? I'm sure it's cheaper than the hotbodies :)
CC Cowboy June 5th, 2009, 02:35 PM It looks a lot faster than the stock ones. Probably just the color though. Green ones are twice as fast.
ztrack157 June 5th, 2009, 08:21 PM This one will beat super man around the world. ;) Heres a pic. Not even a full lean. The bike leans so much the rearset pegs scrape.
imunro June 5th, 2009, 10:10 PM WOW - that's nice!!!
Ohh Snap June 6th, 2009, 09:01 AM looks ****.
CC Cowboy June 6th, 2009, 02:16 PM looks ****.
close, but I still like **** better
Kurosaki June 6th, 2009, 04:23 PM What's with the big hole in the front fender?
ztrack157 June 6th, 2009, 04:36 PM M1 inspired. Forces air towards the radiator to aid in cooling.
Kurosaki June 8th, 2009, 07:21 AM Was he having overheating issues on the track?
I dunno what the heat/humidity is like over there.
ztrack157 June 8th, 2009, 02:24 PM Heat and humidity is a bitch over there. But it certainly isn't as hot as an August trackday at Thunderhill in Willows, CA.
Alex June 8th, 2009, 02:38 PM Absofreakinglutely. :)
Annie sometimes brings a kiddie pool up to summer days at THill to fill up in the paddock to dunk her feet:

I don't have the benefit of that pool for fear I wouldn't want to put my boots back on afterwards, so I just boil:

ztrack157 June 8th, 2009, 02:49 PM Yup two years ago it was 115 when I went. But it was hell for two weeks. 111 was the lowest temp. As for the cooling duct on the bike it does help. M1 has them for a reason and the sportisi kit does too.
Alex June 8th, 2009, 02:55 PM M1 has them for a reason and the sportisi kit does too.
OK, but the M1 is pushing 225+ crank hp out of a 800cc engine (280 hp/liter!), has a very high pressure, and high dollar, cooling system to keep it somewhat reliable for the 500 total miles each engine has to run. We've got a terrifically understressed motor in the ninjette, pumping out 31-ish crank hp out of a 250cc engine (125 hp/liter), with a cooling system that is more than large enough for its needs in any conditions, even if pumped up to mid 30's crank hp. Saying that it helps our bike because it helps the M1 is a bit of a leap. But it's a neat styling exercise, nonetheless.
ztrack157 June 8th, 2009, 03:22 PM This is what I am trying to get at. Bram designed it to aid in cooling and yes it is M1 inspired. I know the cooling system on our bikes is sufficient but a little cooler running engine never hurt either. On the other forum people want me to run down and take my bike to a windtunnel for an aerodynamics test. I won't argue that it performs like the cooling on a M1 because it simply does not. I argue more to the tune of the duct not having aero issue like everyone thinks the cooling duct creates. I mean to use the M1 reference more in that conotation. Its largely more because this is something new and it is out side of the comfort box when people start making changes which they are not accustomed to seeing. I think this is why some are resistant to the kit and are trying to tear it apart in the other forum.
Either way it's a hell of a kit and the best deal on the market.
want1sobad June 8th, 2009, 03:38 PM ztrack,
any update as to a website coming together?
thanks
ztrack157 June 8th, 2009, 04:45 PM I'm still taking my sweet time. I'm about half way done. I can have a website with prices but it doesn't do me much good without adequate stocks. Everything I had coming over in July is nearly all spoken for. September is the realistic goal for it to be fully functional as a company.

I'm just skeptical that the inlet is actually helping anything. The airbox isn't pulling air from there and the bike doesn't run hot.
If you've got a temp gauge on the bike like Kkim's got to read the temps, that would be helpful.
People aren't accustomed to seeing a big air inlet on a 250 because it's not needed.
I don't think it really makes a difference to anything that the inlet in the fairing is there or not. I just don't see the connection with the M1. The M1 has a large rear tire but it wouldn't really make sense to have it on our bike.
ztrack157 June 8th, 2009, 05:56 PM I don't think it really makes a difference to anything that the inlet in the fairing is there or not.
This is what I've been trying to get across. The hole is designed for cooling. But whether its there or not it doesn't really matter on our bikes. It is more for looks than anything else and does not hinder the aero on the bike. If it helps with cooling a little then great if the temps are then same they are the same. It is M1 inspired not derived. Its a different look for those who want something different. If you like it then great if you don't then no hard feelings.
I'm looking into making a ram air duct for this but we will see how that goes.
TnNinjaGirl June 8th, 2009, 05:58 PM Which tires are you running?
ztrack157 June 8th, 2009, 07:40 PM 150/60 rear 120's up front
ztrack157 June 28th, 2009, 10:03 PM Bram just sent me pics. I think it turned out pretty good. I told him I wanted the bottom sticker for sure then left him to his devices. Price on the paint job was amazing it was Free. So no complaints from me.:thumbup:
Apex July 1st, 2009, 08:21 AM I find it funny how a bike redesign all of a sudden triggers a huge aftermarket.
Makes me want to sell mine and get an 08/09. Just for the aftermarket.
ztrack157 July 1st, 2009, 08:23 AM It's amazing what cosmetic surgery does to the market.
paterick4o8 July 1st, 2009, 11:29 AM I'm assuming these won't fit with the Shogun frame sliders since they mount elsewhere:

Apex July 1st, 2009, 12:14 PM It's amazing what cosmetic surgery does to the market.
Yes it is.
I mean that bodywork alone is a good enough reason for me to get the newer model. Well that and tire selection is so much better. I'll have to think about it.
May just say screw it and get a 600...that way aftermarket will never be an issue.
ztrack157 July 1st, 2009, 03:06 PM True. Pat I honestly don't think the shogun's will fit. When I get mine mounted if your willing to take some mesurements for me then we will know for sure.
AnarchoMoltov July 1st, 2009, 03:56 PM how do I get parts from sportisi i went to their website but I couldnt purchase anything and there were no prices...
ztrack157 July 1st, 2009, 03:58 PM I am the sportisi dealer in the US. I'm still setting things up. sportisimoto-usa.com is my site but it is not finished yet.
AnarchoMoltov July 1st, 2009, 04:06 PM do you guys have the sportisi fender elim kit in stock??? and how much does it cost?
ztrack157 July 1st, 2009, 04:08 PM Not in stock now. $70 shipped when I have them. Please go to the Sportisimoto thread in the sales section if you have any more questions or pm me.
AnarchoMoltov July 1st, 2009, 04:10 PM alright thankz...I definitely want that fender elim..
