Lol, the previous owner did all the paint/vinyl. Wasn't my choice. Best part is the top of the tank says "does not play well with others", yea gotta work on fixing that. Bad part is it was painted on and cleared over.

Nice lookin' bike Mike. Except that it's not "all stock", most of the flame decals have been removed. Looks better that way IMO.
P.S. Get some new tires ASAP, you'll be glad you did.

Like $138.71 at RevZilla.com. Worth every penny!!! WoodCraft makes an excellent product. The bike feels like a SS now except without the power. I could never go back to a stock ninjette. Quote:
Mmmhm seems pointless. And that hugger could use some of this... http://www.meguiars.com/en/automotiv...ltimate-black/ or paint it green or somethin. |

It keeps the sh!t off your shock. And it looks cool.
Yeah, I went for a ride, and it was wet and threw dirt everywhere. That crap on the hugger came off easily with a damp towel, but I didn't think of that till after I took pictures It looked like this when it was clean: |

@choneofakind Okay from that picture it seems cool! Good job! Remember, it's all about presentation. That first picture was bad. You couldn't even see the hugger over the wheel (well you barely can). You thought about painting it?? Green, purple, silver?

yeah I've thought about it, but I suck at painting. The whole idea of primer and then paint and then clear seems rather involved to me...
I've done my share of priming/sanding/painting model rockets, but have only had varying degrees of success with it. Paint is also expensive when I'm looking for track money. Check out the last post I made in this thread. There's a rough DIY shaped up in my last post. Might as well have SOMEONE read it http://www.ninjette.org/forums/showthread.php?t=111255 aaaaand yeah presentation? pssssh |

Took her down for some maintenance over the weekend:
Did an oil change, coolant flush, brake fluid, new lighting, spark plugs, carb sync, e.t.c. Most importantly, my pirelli sport demons got mounted: Only pic I have of them on the bike is here: I have put 100 miles on them so far and all I can say is holy crap! The bike is still extremely nimble but really feels more stable and planted in the turns. Ride is much better as well. Gearing is more usable imo, and I like that the bike is slightly taller due to the taller tires. All in all, i'm super impressed. It runs terrific after the work I did over the weekend and the tires were really the icing on the cake. Now I just need more time to ride and enjoy it! |

Word!
Now you see why I call the oem tires Dunrocks???? I use Pirelli Diablo Scooter tires. They're just as sticky as the Sport Demons, but cheaper, and they are the stock sizes, so the bike is still super light weight and flicks back and forth uber quick. I haven't had any issues with the Diablo scoots getting slick. I've heard at the track, that the Sport Demons can get a little oily. |

Yes, and dunrocks is a great term for them. The difference is amazing. I am no longer scared to lean hard into turns lol. As far as them getting slick, i'm strictly a street rider for now, but i'm not against getting into track days. So once that time comes i'll have to update!

Glad you're liking them. Just be cautious through turns still. Remember your MSF course; Slow, look, press, roll. And don't be dumb through turns just to get a little more speed.

Appreciate the advice, and i am extremely cautious still. On the stock dry rotted tires, turns in general made me cringe a little. Much more comfortable now. Every time I ride some of my course comes back to me haha.

Nice turn signals @Monkeytofu!
Just change the tires already! You won't regret it. Dunrocks suck; enough to pay for new tires and throw out the dunrocks. |

My bike is almost purely a commuter, so I'm pushing it off until I need it (or I find a great deal) so it doesn't jump into my student budget Also, I repainted my hugger with shiny black "paint for plastics" I had lying around. I've used that on my OEM chain guard and its stood up to a couple months of use so far. The surface of the hugger is pretty rough and ready for paint and if you let it set properly you shouldn't need to clear coat it. @Jono Have you personally used that stuff before? My throttle and turn signal housings are pretty gray from age and I was wondering if that would work. I don't want to darken the white lettering and the cut off switch though. |

I really didnt have any problems with my dunflops........Anyone thats ridden with me knows I ride pretty good. Im no track star. I CAN however tell a difference between them and the Kenda 671's I just put on, the Kenda's seem to fall into the turns more than the dunlops did.

@Monkeytofu Are you referring to that Meguiars plastic restorer I told choneofakind to use? I actually use this product by them http://www.meguiars.com/en/automotiv...tectant-16-oz/
Does it work.... look at the last pics I posted. That was right after using the stuff. So Yes. It works quite nice. |
