Hey Ninjette riders, I am the other 250 renter guy out here in Louisiana. I sell and rent Ninja 250's for the track in the South and Texas. I helped ELKA Suspensions develop an less expensive rear shock that retails for $499 plus shipping. They are currently developing a more adustable model which will retail for $795 and $895. There are springs availible for riders 100lbs to 250lbs. I do a spring and shock deal with sonic springs and precut spacers as well. If you can wait I can have the shock made 1/2 inch longer for an additional $50. Sorry to break into the Ninjette forum like this but we want you guys to know about us too. Come out and give us a try we started in Jan. of this year and have had some WERA novice race winners on our bikes. We have Road Atlanta coming up as well as a few other interesting events, Richard you still in? Kevin www.rentmyninja.com

I've heard of your stuff Kevin... actually, I bought a part from your wife's ebay for my 250R as well. Glad to hear we have some other options out there for the rear shock

welcome to ninjette.org kevin.

see ya saturday morning :thumbup:

John, do you have a team ready for Oak Hill? I may have to Iron man it with one person. We have a few rented already and I believe we are going with 110/70 and some 120/70 "A" fronts with an Activa 150/70 rear. It should go 8 hrs. Kevin

you're doing 8 hours by yourself???

i'm actually going to be on a 3 man team on a kx60 for the 8 hour. i want to run the 250, but we're in the points chase in TMGP on the 60, so we have to run it.

if we can work out a schedule, maybe i can do a stint in the middle for you to give you a break? if not, its usually not too hard to find someone who wants to ride. i can try to help verify potential finds as trustworthy/good or not if you'd like, but i won't be there until friday night.

I have another guy committted to ride it and a helper so we should be ok. A few of the bikes are going to Tally that weekend, number yet undetermined. 3maybe 4 of the bikes are rented for OH one for Tally. That leaves one left, where will it go?

hopefully we get a good number of 250s in the F4 sprint. we had a blast swapping places in the endurance at hallett. there was 3 of us in a battle for about 20 laps.

There are 5 bikes rented for the Mini Fest so I would figure most will be in the race. I am going to take a crack at the purse myself. Next event after this is Road Atlanta and NPR in Loiusiana. Kevin

How could i get my hands on one of these rear shocks? i live in Ottawa Canada, shipping?

Elka is a Canadian company. 450-655-4855 call them they can direct you up there.

I actually stock the shock so if you don't want to wait please call Kevin or Jill at 225 627 1402 at www.rentmyninja.com. We stock what you need for you Ninjette!

I bought my shock from Kevin and was super happy with the service (I'm in Toronto, ON). I would highly recommend dealing with him.
