dark_beaverezt · August 31st, 2011, 03:08 PM

goodness me,...that was one helluvah job you got there...NOW,,,let's race...LOL

choneofakind · August 31st, 2011, 06:39 PM

wow. beautiful. so many people would ask WHY in the world would someone ever spend that much time and money on a puny little 250???! but I say job well done!!! its perfect and you can be proud of that bike. I see the love for that bike just by looking at it.

I'm interested in what you think about the efi kit as well, but I do have to say, you should look into the Area P 18" race exhaust. Kerry is a member here, and everyone with an Area P loves their systems. BEAUTIFUL bike mate. I'm in love with it already. and very jealous I dont have that much time to make mine that custom

choneofakind · September 1st, 2011, 07:55 AM

Just want to let you know, I love your bike so much, that I made the first picture in this thread my computer background picture. Now I get to drool over your bike every time I turn on my computer

Mountain Dew · February 2nd, 2012, 11:56 PM

Oh my god. I fell in love. I saw this on the random image generator, so I knew it was someone's here.

This is one absolutely BEAUTIFUL bike. I fell in love with the gulf livery after I saw this on the sohc honda forum, which inspired me to go with that scheme as well

:

Just glad people are keeping it alive and finding all sorts of mediums to apply it to. Like my friend said, gulf livery goes on ANYTHING.

saxnbass · February 3rd, 2012, 06:46 AM

Isn't that round thing on the side of the gas tank a Honda badge?

choneofakind · February 3rd, 2012, 08:13 AM

It does look like the Honda Racing logo

I like the GT-40 paint scheme also

Yes it is :P 75 Honda CB550, basically the same as my bike :>

dark_beaverezt · February 4th, 2012, 03:38 PM

that's one good looking bike...

Gulf1 · February 4th, 2012, 03:46 PM

Thanks everybody! Last mods this year fork springs with adjusters and EFI. Its a drag I missed the group buy, but the information is pretty valuable.

very unique indeed, the gulf paintjob looks great on anything!

Mountain Dew · February 6th, 2012, 11:26 AM

Think we can get a few more pics?

Somchai · February 8th, 2012, 03:40 AM

WAH - What a Hammer, this is the most beautiful Ninja I've ever seen.

Only one question I have: Did you use the original RAL-Colorcodes?

ForceofWill · February 8th, 2012, 05:09 AM

O M G, your bike is freaking beautiful. My bike said she doesn't even want to leave the house now.

Are those grips from the2wheels? I ordered some from them just like that, wondering how you like them.

cbdallas · February 8th, 2012, 07:20 AM

Absolutely beautiful!

I actually had a hard time finding them, and I paint for a living. I intended on converting them to peals anyway to modernize so I just found modern codes.

I honestly don't remember. Ebay. They look correct but NO comfort at all.

That seems to be the norm when doing gulf paint. But doing a bit of searching will give a few different ones.

OMNI MBC 2626 Powder Blue
MBC 60812 Topaz Orange
MBC 3146 Regal Blue (for the pinstriping between the two colors)

That's the general consensus on the codes, but others will get different colors depending on their taste. Like me, I went for a bit darker blue, because I'm only doing the blue for now (orange comes when I PC the frame), and I didn't want it to look extra girly while I waited for it :P

Somchai · February 9th, 2012, 05:11 AM

If you don't know the original colorcodes you can look at Spies-Hecker - Colour Solutions (www.spieshecker.com).
The codes are: 59401 for Gulf-Blue and 29079 for Gulf-Orange.
The original codes for Porsche are: 328 for Gulf-Blue and 019 for Gulf-Orange.
Maybe this can give you some help.

zzrguy · February 9th, 2012, 06:06 AM

what kinda power are you putting out now ? did you have it dynoed?

CC Cowboy · February 14th, 2012, 01:59 PM

Nice bike. At first I thought it was a Porsche.

Could you make me a plate mount like that?!

I 'spose I could try to make a couple. Maybe more members would like them.

Gulf1 · March 2nd, 2012, 05:11 PM

I DON't want to open a huge debate but screw the EFI. That is NOT "plug-and-play" I came to build this bike from building VW's for about 20 years now so I know the differance between PNP and fabrication. Tweaking is fair but the price is WAY out of line for the install issuses, quality issues and tuning issues. I can think of better performance mods for that cash.

I'm sure they would! The manufactured ones are all over-built and cost a fortune and the $20 eBay one just looks...

http://www.ebay.com/itm/License-plat...item58872ed4b0

I refuse to buy those $80+ ones that are usually over $100 shipped but I need to get my plate off my undertail so that the secondary blinkers will be visible from behind. My integrated tail light really isn't visible to people like me who are color-blind, so I need those secondary blinkers.

I've got all the tag light bolts, reflector bolts, and wiring. If you chose to do this, just undercut those rip-offs, tell me how much, and tell me where to send payment!

thebozenator · March 3rd, 2012, 12:27 AM

That is absolutely beautiful

...

you have also managed to convince me into buying a hot bodies under tail...

smokinsingle · March 3rd, 2012, 07:59 AM

got a shot of your front rotor?

Todd250 · March 24th, 2012, 01:54 PM
