thanks, Kevin.
BTW, the Ronsonal did not take off the adhesive residue from the OEM "Ninja" stickers when I removed them. I found out that lacquer thinner does an excellent job of removing the adhesive with no damage to the paint. |

That looks pretty cool with the white graphics!
That adhesive on those Ninja stickers is pretty heavy duty - I used the lighter fluid mainly to soften it up, then I scraped the bulk of it of in a huge, sticky booger like substance. Once I got the bulk of it off, the lighter fluid and a tissue worked fine to get the leftover residue off. I'm glad to hear the lacquer thinner worked better. I wasn't sure how the lacquer thinner would react with clear plastics though - not sure if it would cause them to "cloud" up if it got on them. I have used the lighter fluid on clear plastics without any adverse effect. |

Yes, I did not use the lacquer thinner on the windshield, so I cannot recommend using it on clear plastics. Worked well on the painted surfaces, though.
Thanks again, Kevin. Last futzed with by kkim; October 15th, 2009 at 03:37 PM. |

Tank overlay is $7 delivered for a set of 3 (just in case). I was going to go back and update the original post on the first page with the new additions, but it doesn't look like the board allows edits after 30 days or so. Post #103 on page 3 has the updates on the tank overlay and the Euro 250R logo. A buddy directed me to a place that he says has decent free websites, so I threw something together at www.aavinyl.webs.com - feel free to check it out. I hope no one minds, but I snagged a couple of the pics from this thread just to throw up real quick to show the Euro 250R logo installed and the tank graphics. I need to find some time to get some more pics together and I want to put together a Ninja 250R page - hopefully I can get something done in the next few weeks or so. |

Kevin did a real nice job on them I looked these pics over before I placed them. I liked right over the turn sigs, instead of just before... Maybe these are a tad longer, Still real close added a pic, just because there all green LOL: |

I got some new vinyl colors in yesterday - purple, teal, and the closest match I could find to a Kawi green.

Thank you, Kevin. That would be appreciated and I will post some pics for feedback. The only thing better than your products is the customer service you provide.

Thank you I like the lowkey look. You can see it up close or at the right angle but from afar it looks all solid.
now I just need to figure out how to >remove< that exhaust sticker without any damage. |

Green the colour of a frog, black the colour of a panther. I can't think of any green animal that is fast......black on the other hand

nothing to do with animals... everything to do with tuned engines in the green bikes.

Nice!
P.S. I just set up a forwarding email account for you at that address; an email sent to the address on that decal will automatically be forwarded to your real email address. Should be up and running in <5 minutes...

Kelly, Looks real sharp. I took all those hokey decals off my bike and just left the black Kawi and Ninja decals. I did add an "EX 250R" decal where your Ninja decal is. My Ninja decal is where your EX 250R decal is. I also dropped my fog lights at the low point on the fork. Will send pics. when I borrow a camera. Before I forget, Have you ever tried Liquid Glass polish? I used to use it on my show Corvette but have not seen the stuff around. Found some the other day and used it on the Ninja. The bike looks like it was dipped in clearcoat. It`s incredible stuff---not a wax. It is a bit pricey, $16.95 a pint--but a little goes a long way. Dirt literally rinses off using a spray bottle. On the `Vette, I never used car wash--just rinsed with water and dried with a chamois.

Alex,
I have used liquid glass before and coincidentally it was recommended by a vette' owner. I didn't like how it was hard to work with sometimes, so I eventually changed. My latest wax/polish is a product called Rejex... very easy to use, slick finish and spectacular glossiness when coated a few times. I have found, whatever you happen to have is the best... as long as you use it regularly. |
