my ninja is getting a make over

sjsharks33 · February 1st, 2009, 10:06 PM

I had a friend paint some new parts for my bike. My bike is currently blue, but I plan on switching these parts over sometime this week. Im pretty excited it going to be like a new bike for me

OldGuy · February 1st, 2009, 10:12 PM

A special edition paint job in red - I like it.

sjsharks33 · February 1st, 2009, 10:33 PM

thanks for the comment! its pretty much like the SE but slightly different. my black is more like a flat black and and my white has a little more pearl to it. I also have a flat black gas tank rather then having a red tank.

I plan on repairing them and painting them a different color

kazam58 · February 2nd, 2009, 05:03 PM

that is a sweet color scheme. I like it.

HKr1 · February 3rd, 2009, 06:42 AM

sjsharks33 · February 4th, 2009, 11:52 AM

ok im about half way done putting her back together! I should have her all done tonight and post pictures

Its looking awesome so far. I love the red with that flat black it just seems to pop at you. sorry no pics yet, im at work.

xTKx · February 4th, 2009, 04:48 PM

What's taking so long John?! LOL!

Trozza · February 4th, 2009, 05:50 PM

Mah, tell your boss you have to go home to finish putting these parts on your bike as you have an impatient mob of forum users waiting.

OldGuy · February 4th, 2009, 07:12 PM

OK so it's 6:09pm west coast time.

Where are the pictures -

:

Please

sjsharks33 · February 4th, 2009, 09:21 PM

heres a pic so far. im not liking the fit and finish right now. Im playing around with one of the fairings to fit just right. I'll be back, still working on it!

OldGuy · February 4th, 2009, 09:24 PM

Looking good John. We'll wait

Trozza · February 4th, 2009, 10:08 PM

Thanks for the teaser. Looking good so far.

sjsharks33 · February 4th, 2009, 10:54 PM

ok im all done! but my battery died on my camera lol. so tomorrow I get off early from work, and I plan on washing it and taking better pictures

HAHA!

Of course it did. LOL!

Lookin awesome John! Can't wait to see it all put together!

sjsharks33 · February 5th, 2009, 07:18 PM

ok I took the pictures before i washed it because it was kinda getting dark, and wanted to get some decent pictures. I like the way it looks, but im thinking it would look really nice with some red rim tape

sorry for the long wait I hope everyone enjoys.

GreezMunky · February 5th, 2009, 07:19 PM

Very sexy. I love the flat black of the gas tank too. +1 on the red rim tape.

xTKx · February 6th, 2009, 12:59 PM

Looks SWEEET John! And like others here I'd have to agree with the red rim tape.

OldGuy · February 6th, 2009, 01:41 PM

Very Nice - I love the look. It really sets the lines of on the new generations. Rim tape would be nice if it were the same shade of red.

Anything else on your to-do list?

kazam58 · February 6th, 2009, 07:41 PM

Very Nice.

komohana · February 7th, 2009, 12:40 AM

looks great

Kurosaki · February 7th, 2009, 10:43 AM

Very nice. Good job.

sjsharks33 · February 7th, 2009, 11:19 AM

thanks everyone for the comments

its finally nice out today, im going to take my baby out for a ride

I plan to add the red rim tape soon and a double bubble windscreen.

miks · February 16th, 2009, 11:06 PM

Lovely bike, even more lovely with red rim tape.

jpnfrk · February 16th, 2009, 11:25 PM

It's very beautiful, hoping to see the pics with the rim tape soon, and the windscreen... are you going for light smoke?

00v_Lucky · February 17th, 2009, 05:01 PM

not too bad, not bad one bit actually. how long does it take to switch off fairings like that?

I've taken my bike apart so many times I can probably do it under an hour. It's really not that hard.

punisher83 · February 19th, 2009, 12:44 PM

Very nice!!! I'd like to something like that too just not sure if i want to paint it or put vinyl on it.

Justanothermp5 · February 19th, 2009, 03:15 PM

hey what are u doing with ur stock pieces? not sure if its been asked already

edit nvm just saw...u wanna sell me ur front fairing

Sailariel · February 19th, 2009, 07:56 PM

John, Real eye candy---beautiful job! If you plan on going for rim tape--a reflective white would look really nice--but that`s detail stuff for when the weather is bad.

Hehehehe IF you have a garage...

jdesiano1 · February 20th, 2009, 08:26 AM

I love it. If you don't mind me asking where did yu get your extra set of fairings and what did they run?

I found the new parts on craigslist

The guy that was selling the parts turned his bike to a track bike, so there was no need for the stock body parts. I got every body part except for the gas tank for $550

parts where flawless showroom condition! he took the parts off right when the bike got delivered to his house. thats why I love craigslist I look everday lol
