Sarge the 250 in atl
Hi I'm jake, I have 01 ninja 250. My first bike when I was 18 was a cbr 900rr which I quickly realized was too much bike for me to handle. I went 5 years without a bike, had a few scooters to screw around on.
The ninja has pro taper bars and risers, cleaned up the front end, and rear fender delete. Mechanically this thing is great, all work needed has been done;oi/fluidsl, chains, sprockets,tires, brakes, carbs cleaned and synced. Eventually I want to repaint it, I also have a round headlight I need to put on I think it'll flow better with the bars, also want to add stainless steel front brake lines. Sorry for the crappy cell pics, I'll break the camera out this weekend Last futzed with by milehighhawkins; October 2nd, 2014 at 07:25 AM. |

Does anyone know the easier way to fill the tank holes? I've thought about just putting a bolt and painting the tip for now

What did you do for the rear fender delete? Signals look to be relocated..how did you secure the sockets into the holes? Also what did you do to mount the license plate and bracket?
Good looking bike, man *also, just put those original bolts back into the tank and paint them. Always seemed the cleanest to me.

It's been awhile since I've updated, I have a new round headlight to mount I also got an extra seat that I'm going to wrap with something a little different(vinyl on the way). I also plan on painting it olive drab over the next couple weeks. I am going to paint the rear set and little tidbits bronze or black haven't decided yet

I finally mounted my headlight, I love how it turned out.
The new material for my extra seat is suppose to be here this week. I am still trying to decide on how i want to paint it. I'm leaning towards olive drab, but properly spraying it and using midnight blue has been an idea floating around in my head |

Wrapping this seat has been a pain in the ***. The material is thick marine grade with no stretch
