GAMMATRONIX integrated led battery charge / standby indicator

Posted November 26th, 2014 at 07:20 PM by Ghostt
Updated October 12th, 2015 at 03:08 AM by Ghostt

Here is a simple, inexpensive, and a must have piece of technology, as I have done.

The company is named GAMMATRONIX( http://www.gammatronixltd.com/ ) and they make some really interesting items from charging, storage, temperature, in various styles.

The one I chose was the 12V LED MOTORCYCLE / BIKE Battery level and Charge monitor( http://gammatronixltd.com/epages/bae...cts/BIKE-E-12V )

It's an easy installation as far as wiring goes, two wires, positive & negative. Where you install it is totally up to you.

I installed mine in the tachometer meter face, to give it a factory look. Installation was easy, but had to be careful due to I had the drill the hole in the face. I routed the wiring out the back thru an unused block off hole in the rear.

The unit works perfectly as described, I like the fact that...

1989-2007 Kawasaki Ninja EX 250 BLACK SPORTBIKE MIRRORS conversion kit from eBay sell

Posted November 25th, 2014 at 10:31 AM by Ghostt
Updated November 27th, 2014 at 07:13 AM by Ghostt

Okay let's face it, the mirrors on the Ninja 250 while being functional, are dated, and also a dead giveaway to that the bike is regardless of how my modifications you do to the looks.

The answer is a simple one swap out the mirrors, I found a pair from eBay,

1989-2007 Kawasaki Ninja EX 250 BLACK SPORTBIKE MIRRORS conversion kit from eBay seller "i5motorcycle"

These give the bike a more modern style, BUT, be forewarned that installation is a a little PITA.

Do to you must place the nuts on the underside of the fairing mount.

The overall mirrors are nice quality, and nice size, and add a little bit more rear visibility, but not much, this modification is more for the looks than functionality.

genuine imitation carbon fiber projects

Posted November 19th, 2014 at 07:11 PM by Ghostt
Updated November 27th, 2014 at 07:14 AM by Ghostt

Over the past few years I've been playing around with carbon fiber wrapping of parts.

I have used the no-name China stuff and it seems to work extremely well. It adds a nice touch to the pieces, and the cost is very low compared to the real thing, and you can do almost anything in the wrap.

A few helpful tips I would give is have some help, it makes it a lot easier if you have the extra set of hands. Another tip is afterwards paint the pieces with clear coat, not only does it preserve wrap, but gives it a more realistic look.

Here is a link to some of the projects I have done.

Extra Heavy Bar Ends

Posted November 16th, 2014 at 09:30 PM by Ghostt
Updated August 6th, 2015 at 08:53 PM by Ghostt

Okay we all know the bars vibrate on this bike like crazy. Let's face it, the OEM ones are a bit small.

So I ordered a pair of SCHOOLIE's extra heavy bar ends. He makes them to order depending on what length and weight you want. I picked the 3" long, and weighing in at 23 oz!!, o did I mention they are solid stainless steel too.

From Schoolie's post @ EX-500.com,
Quote:
I'm currently taking orders for these. Once you confirm your orders, I'll put them in the queue and work on them in the order I receive them. When I've got them made, I'll send a message requesting payment. I'll ship them out when I get the money.

I can make them to whatever length you like. Pricing for standard bar ends to length will be as shown in the following table. For anything other than that (bar end mirror grooves, etc.) we can discuss pricing before I get started.

More Boredom

Posted November 16th, 2014 at 08:53 PM by Ghostt
Updated November 27th, 2014 at 07:18 AM by Ghostt

Got bored today, and after looking at the bike I decided that the black grab bar didn't look right.

So took it off, and with paint stripper, scotch brite green pad, and some elbow grease, problem solved.

What is under that black paint was a nice aluminium alloy, and using the scotch brite pad gave it a nice satin finish.

The great grab handle mystery

Posted November 16th, 2014 at 08:42 PM by Ghostt
Updated March 29th, 2015 at 08:36 PM by Ghostt

Being new to the 88~07 model and finding these two threaded holes in the bottom side of the grab handle, what possibility could Kawasaki put there?

After doing some research I of course found the answer in an old post: http://forums.ninja250.org/viewtopic...135c2bec2737cd

So that's what there for, very cool so all I need is a pair of bank sensor bolts. But after looking at the ones on my pegs they really did look good enough, wrong color, and just didn't seem like it would hold the hook due to its just straight.

So then I began to look at other Kawasaki bank bots, and I found the ones that not only have a ball end on it, and they are the proper color, as long as it black, and they even have red loctite already on them. So here's the pictures so all can see, the bolts are cheap enough, and it gives you two more solid points to hook or tie too....

How to lower your bars....

Posted November 16th, 2014 at 08:33 PM by Ghostt
Updated September 2nd, 2015 at 06:05 PM by Ghostt

Okay some of us want to lower the handle bars on our 250s, but don't have a bunch of cash or don't want clip ons.

Well here's a little modification that won't break the bank. First you need to get a set of risers from and early model ZX600, or 1986~1987 Ninja 250 I got my ZX600c risers off eBay for $12.00 shipped, which requires a little modification to fit.

Now you have to grind a small amount off of them so they fit, the end is slightly curved, where ours are straight. Once you've done that, it's and easy swap out the risers.

WARNING: red loc-tite is on the bar bolt, so you might want to heat them up a little bit.

As seen it the pictures below you can see for yourself how much lower they are, just enough, but not too much I think.

I like my the shorter style, but then again I have really long arms, so it's no problem, even more comfortable for me.

It doesn't really effect it too much,...

genuine imitation carbon fiber wrapped chain guard

Posted November 16th, 2014 at 05:13 PM by Ghostt
Updated November 27th, 2014 at 07:23 AM by Ghostt

Yes I got bored and decided to do my OEM chain guard, in genuine imitation carbon fiber wrapped chain guard w/ non-visible clear coat applied, note stainless steel allen heads too.

SIDENOTE: the use of a quality clear coat not only protect the wrap, but adds a shiny look to make it look realistic.
