New to the forum, new to the Ninja
Hey everyone. Figured my first post should be in the new members section. This week I got not only my first Ninja, but my first motorcycle. Got a steal on the bike, although it does have some crash damage. It's a 1999 Ninja 250R. 6k on the odometer and only $1000. It runs like a dream. Oil and plugs were changed the morning I got it. All in all, not a bad deal.
I have been working on customizing the bike. Where would be the best place to set up a project log? |

Hey what's up, welcome Donnie.
I'd venture over to the Pregen Tech Talk section to start a project log. |

Yeah. I mean, it's got some damage. I can tell that it was laid down on the left side and probably slid a hundred feet or so. The front fairing is cracked in a few spots. The part of the fairing where the windshield bolts to is broke on the left side so the windshield was just kinda flapping when I picked it up. The bottom fairing also has a crack up the side but nothing major. I'm thinking some ABS cement and fiberglass will fix it up pretty good. I don't need it to be perfect.
EDIT:: As for the project log I have stumbled across the blog feature of the site |
