List of Mods

TheJimmyEnglish · August 2nd, 2011, 03:28 PM

Just wanted to put a list up of the modifications that I'm going to be getting this September and October as I'll be coming into some money. I'll start off in order of what i'll be ordering first and want the most. Seperating the list between September and October as well. Any additional info I can get from you guys and girls would be great.

September:
1. Woodcraft Clip-Ons. $170 shipped.

2. 150/60 rear tire and 120/60 front. Unsure pricing.

3. T-Rex frame sliders. $96+ shipping.

4. Dark smoke double bubble screen. $65+ shipping.

5. Integrated taillight. $80 shipped.

October:
1. Black rear hugger. $100+ shipping.

2. Black front wheel fender. $105+ shipping.

3. Black tail section. $100+ shipping.

4. Hotbodies undertail Black. $180+ shipping.

5. Black OEM seat cowl. $100 local shop.

So thats the list for now. What are yalls thought or opinions?

YORCHI · August 2nd, 2011, 03:33 PM

Sounds like a great list...post pics as you go along please, I really like to look at lots of pictures of the different products I can't see in person before I buy...

I've been trying very hard to fight off the mod bug. I think once it finally does bite me it will be very hard to stop modding this bike

Must stay strong...

TheJimmyEnglish · August 2nd, 2011, 03:37 PM

Yeah I've been fighting it too. But I dont have anything else to spend the money on and I'm bad at saving so I figure what could it hurt. A portion of these things will be bought from Ebay

I will post product pictures as I receive them.

Alex · August 2nd, 2011, 03:37 PM

120/60 in the front is a step backwards. Stick with a 110/70, in a construction that matches whatever you put on the rear. We have a mongo "list your mods" thread going on: right over here...

TheJimmyEnglish · August 2nd, 2011, 03:38 PM

I'm keeping the stock exhaust for now. Trying to sell the MGP Growler exhaust I have cause it's just to loud for me.

YORCHI · August 2nd, 2011, 03:42 PM

vids? how much?

TheJimmyEnglish · August 2nd, 2011, 03:57 PM

I may stick with the 110 front tire then. Idk yet. Also selling exhaust for $200 shipped anywhere in the continental US. Their is a video in my youtube from the signature below.

They go for around $130 shipped. That could be a reason you can't move it.

YORCHI · August 2nd, 2011, 04:12 PM

lol

TheJimmyEnglish · August 2nd, 2011, 04:14 PM

Well I paid $285 shipped from Hotbodies with MGP decals which most dont have. If I can't get $200 for it I'll just keep it for the track.

TheJimmyEnglish · August 2nd, 2011, 09:18 PM

I've also been considering polishing the lip of my wheels

greatwhiteninja · August 2nd, 2011, 09:23 PM

Every time i get online I end up buying something for mine or if not it doesn't help that there's a cycle gear less then a mile from my house LOL ..

Trailerboy531 · August 2nd, 2011, 10:05 PM

Are you looking for an OEM black front fender or a special/aftermarket one?

nickjpass · August 2nd, 2011, 10:44 PM

For all the stuff about the seat cowl, rear sections, etc, try this place out.

Would definitely recommend them. Good stuff. Reasonable prices. I don't know if anyone ever found them before, but this could be big since they have lots of nice looking stuff.

It may be to loud for the track, but keeping it will be your best bet

Thanks for the site link. I am definitely considering them. I believe M13 got his seat cowl from them.

That's where I found them

greatwhiteninja · August 3rd, 2011, 03:24 PM

i got my seat cowl from ebay.. $80 shipped, brand new OEM seat cowl. there all over ebay pretty cheap.

Kawasaki's MSRP on the 250's seat cowl is $90. Saved over $10

Not sure what year you have but the Pyramid Plastic's rear section is cool because it is a fender eliminator, seat cowl, and under-tail all in one. Just cool in my opinion.

TheJimmyEnglish · August 4th, 2011, 03:42 PM

Just got this camera mount on order from Ram Mounts.

TheJimmyEnglish · September 18th, 2011, 12:36 PM

Just ordered my Woodcrafts and a ebay windscreen for $25. Will take about a month maybe for the windscreen to get here since it is coming from Hong Kong.

Where the hell did you find them for $130 shipped? I would like to see that... So I can buy that....

TheJimmyEnglish · October 6th, 2011, 03:53 PM

Well here's a little update to how it sits now. Got the woodcraft clip-ons, grips, levers, windscreen, and the shocker sticker so far. Next is bar-end mirrors. Lmk what you think.

TheJimmyEnglish · October 6th, 2011, 04:15 PM

yeah I'm not to sure about doing the black pieces anymore. And I just bought a spray gun and have a booth in my garage so if I do it will be the Kawi paint. Also if I decide to do the black pieces I will be getting my wheels powder coated red

TheJimmyEnglish · October 12th, 2011, 06:11 AM

And now I can see behind me!

greatwhiteninja · October 12th, 2011, 06:34 AM

i love my bar end mirrors.. one of the best mods ive done. ive seen guys with the hyabusas and other larger sport bikes run with no mirrors, i dont know how or why they do it.

or you can always do the carbon fiber front fender.. it closely resembles black.. carbon fiber goes with anything

massacremasses · October 12th, 2011, 07:29 AM

Wait what are you painting black?

greatwhiteninja · October 12th, 2011, 07:41 AM

his front fender

To bad you he lives far away. I powder coat stuff

but im in CA

but damn paint booth in your garage?

coondog · October 12th, 2011, 07:55 AM

$1,000 plus shipping and that's without the most expensive and important options (eventually), tires and shipping. On top of that YOU will be DIYing it as well. Maybe if you had a 2012 and were an experienced rider (decades). But you're gonna do this to a 3 year old 250, I'm probably wrong about you owning it for 3 years, but in the end age is age, and moving up is moving up.

totaled · October 12th, 2011, 08:24 AM

Anyone else notice the Run DMC t-shirt in the mirror?

you cant powdercoat plastics though, right??

massacremasses · October 12th, 2011, 09:37 AM

NOPE! Itll melt!

I was talking about the rims he said he wanted to do

cri22le · October 12th, 2011, 09:41 AM

make sure to sand down plastics first!!! with 220 grit and then 500 grit to make the paint stick!!!

check out my album i show the sanded down piece of the the front headlight piece and then the painted one after

greatwhiteninja · October 12th, 2011, 09:50 AM

id love to remove my tank graphics that are cleared on from the factory and repaint it pearl.. id even be tempted to try and remove them and just reclear the tank but my guess is it would probably peel up the paint removing those since they were most likely applied to 1day old paint then cleared.

massacremasses · October 12th, 2011, 09:51 AM

to repaint it you do not need to take all the paint off. You just need to scuff it up so the new paint sticks...
