New Goodies!

[NicoleH28]

Yep, I'm happy with it.

Did you get your levers from 2 Wheels on Ebay?

[nattygirl]

Yes, I bought the foldable/adjustable levers. Get the red/black ones. You won't regret it!

[NicoleH28]

I've decided to save some money!

I am having my levers and passenger foot pegs powder coated red.
I originally wanted Pazzo levers because they are red, not because they are adjustable. I don't have an issue at all with the stock levers - they work great for me. I am having them all done for less than $100 through a company in Wisconsin. Felt like supporting businesses in the state I grew up. Plus, it's little over an hour away from where I live so the turn around time will be quick this way!
I'll be sure to post pictures when they are installed. I am going with Baron Red - I hope it looks ok!

$100 to powdercoat 2 levers and 2 pegs? Wow, talk about getting raped. Also, as long as you never have a passenger, no worries, but the powdercoating on the pegs will make them slippery.

[NicoleH28]

15 per lever and 35 per peg...not sure why pegs are so much. Maybe they will be less once they see them...

Is it a single stage powder or a 2 stage? 2 stage powders would be something like a candy color or any powder involving a transparent color. IMO, that is way too much money to be charging for powdercoating pegs. I would also have them grind off powder on the raised portion of the pegs. It will give it a two tone as well as maintain grip. I've done powder coating before and for what they're charging you, they should do that for free as it takes maybe 5 minutes. They're basically charging you $100 for the 30 minutes it takes to coat those small parts. Maybe I should offer to powdercoat small parts for you guys. lol

[NicoleH28]

I went ahead and ordered the Pazzo IFX Inferno Red levers that I originally wanted.

I also ordered a whole bunch of stuff from Pro-Bolts and a new Icon Pro Shield.

Next up is the slip-on but I'm still trying to decide what one to go with!

not if you get the right finish. i have my pegs powdercoated with "crinkle" black. it is a rough, sandpaper like finish. i've had no slip issues and they look just as good as the day i pick them up from the pc shop. ct is right though, if you get a standard finish, they will be super slippery......

[NicoleH28]

My new Icon Chameleon Proshield - hard to get a good picture of it but it looks awesome!

[NicoleH28]

New T-Rex Racing stand! - I installed my Shogun spools today but it got too dark outside to take a picture. Maybe I'll post one tomorrow.



Pazzo levers will be here tomorrow, Pro-bolts Friday, and TBR slip-on next week Tuesday!

[NicoleH28]

Inferno Red IFX Pazzo Break Lever - I'm waiting for my red clutch cable adjuster to arrive tomorrow from Pro-Bolt before I put on the clutch lever. These things are amazing - the quality is flawless. Definitely worth every penny.





Shogun Spools with Black Caps

[NicoleH28]

I took some updated pictures of my Ninja today - since it was absolutely gorgeous outside!
I'll add one or two more pictures when my TBR exhaust shows up.
I love the way my bike has turned out so far!

[nattygirl]

Nice!!! We have alot of similar mods. Great minds think alike!

A couple more suggestions...

Red Passenger Pegs

Red Windscreen Bolts

[NicoleH28]

You actually gave me a lot of ideas! So thanks! I might remove my pegs and get an Area P hanger...still deciding and I was going to get windscreen bolts but changed my mind after I spent over 90 dollars at Pro-Bolt with what I really wanted LOL

I've been wanting to get the rear reservoir cap you have, but I can't get myself to pay the $9 it costs to ship it.

[NicoleH28]

Do it! Lol

What brand are your rear pegs? Where'd you get them?

[nattygirl]

The link above is the exact auction I bought mine from. These were the cheapest I could find them. I bought them for looks, not for function, so I didn't want to spend too much.

[Cazper]

Lookin' really good with your mods!! Might I suggest the following:



I have the same for mine but in green... love em

[NicoleH28]

Those are awesome. Are new grips hard to install?
Posted via Mobile Device

[Cazper]

not at all... and they only cost $15 from motorcycle-superstore.com. The only catch is that you have to use a knife to cut the end as it is solid and ours are not... but it's got a groove that you just follow... very simple.

here's the link:

[NicoleH28]

Hmm, alright. I will for definitely consider it!

So Natalie, how hard was it to remove the kleen air system. I see you ordered a metal plate. Did you just not want to buy\make a plug?
Posted via Mobile Device

[nattygirl]

If I was going to do it, I wanted to do it nice and clean. So I ended up buying the block plate off ebay. It was $18 and came with 2 plates. It was designed for a different model Kawi and came with plugs as well, but they didn't end up fitting. The plate itself fit perfectly though. I ended up selling the other plate, so after shipping expenses on that, I ended up recovering $6, so really I only paid $12 for it. I just took my t-connectors with me to Pep Boys and ended up test fitting some plugs on them and bought those. Haven't gotten to ride it yet. It was a busy weekend for me. I'll let you know if it made a huge difference with the two bros exhaust setup.

Ebay link for block plate

As far as difficulty, it wasn't too bad. You do have to remove the gas tank, since the kleen air system is directly below it. That was a breeze though for me, since I had already removed it once before when I shimmed my carbs. If you're going to do it, I would suggest you just do all the mods at once and shim the carbs, remove the kleen air system, and possibly remove the snorkel, if you were considering that, all at the same time.

[sixer]

red bar ends and red windscreen boltz- hmmm...

[NicoleH28]

Just installed my new TBR slip-on. I must say I am quite surprised how loud it is. Watching videos on Youtube doesn't come close to portraying the true sound of the slip-on. I'll post pictures later, after I take it for a test ride and piss off all the neighbors LOL

[NicoleH28]

Sixer, those are the grips I ordered. Pro Grip 719's!

[rockNroll]

Your bike looks badass

[NicoleH28]

Thank you!
I love how everyone one on here has their own unique bike.
Of course I did "borrow" a couple ideas from Ms. Natalie but all in all everyone does their own thing and all the Ninja's look awesome!

[nattygirl]

Did you end up getting the black series?

[NicoleH28]

Yeah, I got the same exact one as you Natalie.
Here are few pictures.

[nattygirl]

Another recommendation... I was looking into the shogun carbon spools also. Not sure if you know they sell these, but they sell colored plates for them. I was going to buy the red plate to go with it but I'm going to wait a bit, since I've been spending alot of money on the bike lately.


http://www.motorcycle-superstore.com...-End-Caps.aspx

Also, how much did everything come total? I paid $444 total.

[NicoleH28]

I saw that Shogun offered colored plates for the spools. I went with the black plates. I like the way they aren't really noticeable when they are on my bike.

I ended up painting the frame plugs red on my bike as well. I think they look pretty good.

He charged me $444 as well. Saved me $180 bucks because I originally wanted to order directly from the TB website and use their "Customization" feature and get red accents throughout the exhaust but that would have ran me over $600. Can't beat the price that Tom gave us.

The last thing I am waiting for are my red 719 Pro Grips and that will be it for awhile...no more spending! lol

[6speedhemi]

Did your exhaust come with the red insert on the outlet? Or is that a special thing? It looks cool, but I don't see it going too well with my blue bike.

[NicoleH28]

It's the P1 silencer. You can get them in blue as well as blue bolts. Check out the Two Brothers Racing site.

WOW, not entirely sure how I overlooked that. Thanks for helping me and my blind self!

[NicoleH28]

It's all good.
Are you getting the same exhaust?

I'm looking either at this exhaust or at the GSXR exhaust mod. I love the look of your exhaust, but I'm concerned with just how loud it is. Most of what I hear is that even with the silencer, it's still incredibly loud. I don't want to be so much so that I draw attention of the cops.
