Hi, have been here for a while but I take abit to introduce myself.
I am happy to see another Ninja board!
Been riding since 1982 Mostly dual sport and lots and lots of 2 stoke dirt riding until it finally took its toll on all my joints :)
Had a 1999 Ninja up from 99 until the new release of the 2008.
Did the switch to the 08 and have had a blast modin' it out.
I ride mostly with my husband of 21 years, Mostly back roads out in the country. I do not like highway riding and do so only to get to the next twisty.
We live in a small town of about 3000 people, in the Cascade Mountian Foothills.
I ride for fun and don't bike commute because I am a Realtor and have to carry lots of files etc..
Lowered front and rear.
I have a 25-26 inch inseam 5 foot and a little rounded and couldn't touch the ground safely at all. First day I had the dealer lower the rear. They used an x10 link. There was not a kit availble yet. It took a while to get used to the new bike. I just didn't mesh with it. Soon I decided to lower the front and wala'
it was back in the correct geometry and handling was perfect.
Yoshi slipon. I like the sound, they provided great customer service .
Had the carb needles shimmed and jetted. This removed the bottom end hesitation.
I am lucky enough have a great tuning mechanic at my local dealer.
Targa fender elim. kit
Came with a seat cowl so I have removed passenger pegs and replaced with an exhaust hanger. (The link is in aftermarket parts)
removed passenger pegs.
not really mods but a bit of vinyl and
A couple of Incredible Hulk stickers and my crow sticker I had Beast make.
Here is some picts. Myself and my Husband and his Triumph. He has an 08 Ninja also.( red) slower and only has the 6 gears. ;)
besides that I think the bike is pretty complete on it's own.
