86 250r parts question
so I picked up this girl for cheap. run s and drives. main problem no front fairings. I've been searching no luck. Any ideas if any other years can fit? I know its probably unlikely. But worth the shot. Work ahead of me. planning on restoring. Got her for 250 $

dang i want that bike. i love the 86 model. $250 is a fantastic price. i would say don't worry about looks just ride the little bastard until she can't ride no more. spend money on tires and gas

Welcome to the site, Josh !!!
Yes, that is the very first generation and only those parts will fit. It is perfect the way it is. Check this thread for ideas if you decide moving in the direction of nakedness and weight reduction.............of the bike. http://www.ninjette.org/forums/showt...ghlight=weight

well today my dads friend showed up and convinced my dad to try and convince me to trade him my bike for one of his because aparently he owned the bike at one point or something I didn't really listen. But long story short he wants it for his 2001 ninja 250. which I have seen it and its a clean bike. So I think I'm going to do that. Since it's my dad's friend. And he's willing to do it out right. I'll be back with pics when it's official.

everything worked out brought her home today. Only down side is we got slammed with snow so I'll register her next week.... so in terms of mods flush mounts, turn signal mirrors, fender eliminater. Anything else any ideas would be great money is not a big issue but I would like to keep costs low.

so nh changed there laws you can't just get a motorcycle license so I'm moving back to mass on the 11th. Just need to get her inspected. Then everything is all set. I'll ride in nh another time then. I'm going to take the msf course in mass in the end of March.
