I like it. Being from the '70s era of motorcycling, I would call that a "standard", not a "streetfighter" though. To me, streetfighter brings to mind something from Mad Max. Your 250 is way above that level of looks. You may have said in another post, but what fairing and light assembly is that?

Thanks. I found the headlight on ebay. It was called something along the lines of 'Motorcycle demon lamp headlight'

Awesome work, very clean!!!
Any chance to weigh it? I'm researching my wife's next bike. Interested to see how much weight is saved with this conversion. |

Thank ya. Im not sure about the weight. My title says 345 pounds but theres no way it's that heavy. I would guess 270ish. Its a really light bike.. me and one other person were able to pick it up.

I'd guess a bit over 300 with an empty tank. I think mine lost about 20 lbs when I took off a lot of the plastic and trim.

My wife needs to be able to pick it up by herself. I'm going to weigh my 250r race-bike and see what that comes to. Last futzed with by DannoXYZ; July 30th, 2017 at 02:55 PM. |

Technique is important for picking up a dropped bike, and is something I need to work on. Hoping I don't have too much more practice at dropping and picking up my bike....
There are videos out there of slightly-built women lifting up full size cruisers. The idea is to use hip and leg muscles, not upper body, especially for women, since that's where we are pretty strong. Bend down, facing away from the bike, grab it, and stand up. You push your backside against the bike to help it stand up. |

You're right about using the legs. The deceptive thing is that the huge cruisers typically have crash bars, hard bags, and other junk sticking out so far that they don't really fall all the way over. Much lighter bikes that are relatively narrow fall all the way over so they're horizontal, and can be more difficult to pick up.

That's true. Also the crash bars and whatnot would give good handholds, which the Ninjas don't really have. But still, seeing that can give a girl some confidence that she can pick up her own bike.

The real trick here might be if the bike falls on it's left side. You have no side stand to stop the bike. I guess you put the side stand down and flip it again. Bill |

You can save a lot of high-mounted weight by removing all the rear end accoutrements, such as that heavy cast grab bar, the taillight, rear fender, and all the seat mounting hardware. There are many 2 oz taillights available on eBay and Amazon. Same thing with the instruments. I did all that and saved more than 50 lbs.

Of course, you can't ride bike without handlebars or foot-pegs or brake-hoses or throttle-cables. I had to put some of that stuff back on with lighter versions. So my bike lost 70-lbs and gained about ~20 back for 50-lbs actual savings using these parts. - Woodcraft clip-ons - Woodcraft rearsets, folding pegs - TrailTech Vapor gauges - Hotbodies bodywork - Galfer SS brake lines - Galfer disks and pads - Tyga full stainless exhaust system - Slingshot Racing aluminium muffler hanger - Motionpro Rev2 throttle set - 428 chain and aluminum rear sprocket (18/59t) - K-Tech rear shock - Progressive front springs with gold cartridge emulators - Barnett clutch and springs - Tattu LiFePO4 battery - Slingshot Racing aluminium emissions block-off plate - Slingshot Racing aluminium gas-cap - Slingshot Racing aluminium oil-filler cap - DynoJet carb-jet kit - aluminium nut & bolts kit - ~1/4-lb of safety wire I actually didn't weight all upgrade parts individually when installing, so need to weigh actual bike to determine final weight-savings. Somehow your 50-lbs seems to confirm that figure. |

Good video. She says if the bike falls on its left, you either put the side-stand down once you get it high enough to do so, or you turn to straddle the bike and can put the stand down.

Hey, what tyres are those? My brother lives in Oregon and says many of the roads he explores ends in dirt trails. We're gonna have to build ourselves one of these bikes!

They're the stock dunlop tires. I don't ride a street bike in the dirt. Just happened to take photos at that location.
