Here is the list for my 07:

Added running/brake lamp bulbs to empty slots in tail
Asian Cycle flush mount turn signals
Pirelli Diablo tires
Replaced reflectors with black 3M reflexlite tape
Upgraded battery: 9ah
12 volt socket under seat for charging phone/etc.
Hardwired battery tender plug in fairing slot
Laminar Lip
Removed flame decals
Home made helmet lock cable
Home made flat repair kit
Nelson Rigg Silver Streak saddle bags
Dowco tail bag
Timberwolf/Firstgear Silverstone tank bags
Cheesy Wal Mart digital watch mounted to gauge cluster

To do:

15 tooth front sprocket (maybe)
EX500 rear shock
Bikemaster 1 1/4" convex mirrors
Silverstar head lamp bulb

That's a nice list of mods! I've used the silverstars and ultrastars on other bikes, and they do provide a noticeable improvement in brightness. But, they are shorter-lived than "standard" bulbs. The bulb is easy to replace on the ninjette, so it's not as big an issue compared to bikes where getting to the bulbs requires fairing removal or tiny hands (or both).

Here's the list for my 07:

Added running/brake lamp bulbs to empty slots in tail
Asian Cycle flush mount turn signals
Removed rear fender
Cortech tank bag
Digital watch mounted to the triple tree

To do:

Pirelli Sport Demon tires
Make custom helmet locks for 2 helmets
Cortech tail bag

Done:
Asian Cycle flush mount turn signals
Empty slots converted to rear turn signals....I think this is also Asian Cycle
Digital watch mounted
GPS mount zip tied to triple tree
Pirelli Sport Demon tires
Nelson Riggs saddle bags just put on today (but they're coming off after I go camping this weekend...so does the GSP mount)

To Do:
I would love to learn how to make a custom helmet lock.

Considered getting rear sets and clip ons and stiffening the springs in the front forks, but decided against it because this is my easy going couch bike. :p

On our 2004 Ninjette:

- GPS mount for Garmin 60C (hardwired to bike power)
- Motofizz clock/thermometer
- 15-tooth sprocket in front
- Ventura Luggage System (with sport rack & tall rack, sport pack and large bags)
- Pirelli Sport Demons
- garage door opener on keychain :D

I used about 16" 1/4" steel cable (w/ vinyl coating), similar to a bicycle cable lock. It had a loop crimped on one end, so I just made another loop on the other end. To do so, I just crimped on a copper barrel with a vise/hammer. Covered barrel with vinyl tape to keep it from scratching paint when installed.

Locked one loop to existing helmet lock and locked the other through the chin strap with a small combo lock. Strapped helmet to seat with a web bungee.

Pretty secure and only paid for the lock which was about $3.
Gotta love inexpensive solutions!

Do you have any pictures of it? I'm a visual learner. :D

No prob. I will take a couple today or tomorrow and post them back up under this thread.

Here is the lock cable. Sorry for the low quality pictures, had to use my phone's camera.

One end has the copper ring terminal soldered on. The other has a loop crimped. The loop attaches to helmet strap via combo lock. The copper ring gets locked into the helmet lock under seat. Then just bungee helmet in place. Seems to work pretty well.

Sweet! Thanks for posting the pictures.
