miks · March 3rd, 2010, 01:15 AM

A full carbon fibre 250R, what a sight.

Snake · March 3rd, 2010, 11:17 AM

I'm looking foward to the pics TJ.

250rStar · March 3rd, 2010, 04:10 PM

man its like times going by to slow!! haha does anyone know how long it takes for something to get shipped from england to california? thats where tyga is ugh depressing we need to perfect teleporting guys

ztrack157 · March 4th, 2010, 08:09 PM

Tyga takes about 12 days to ship If you really wanted full CF on the entire bike I could make it happen. I would just need your soul, left arm, and first born child.

250rStar · March 6th, 2010, 02:27 PM

ok so i feel stupid haha tyga perf. is in thailand not england cut its on the container just left the port in bangkok so i'm pretty excited!! man and i don't want that much carbon fiber haha after all that i'm gunna get the brake calipers, and maybe the front forks powdercoated gold and guy gold rear sets and pegs and paint the bike a different blue. also matt do you know if the rear huggers you have will accomidate the 150 size tire or even 140 or will it only fit the 130?

sixer · March 6th, 2010, 08:57 PM

hurry hurry!!

ztrack157 · March 6th, 2010, 09:14 PM

they will accomodate all. need to add a few washers to lift the hugger piece on a 150 rear

250rStar · March 7th, 2010, 03:08 AM

OMG if only i could hurry!!! i wish man, and i'm dying to get my carbon!!

Davidb1986 · March 8th, 2010, 01:20 PM

I ordered the MGP growler a couple of weeks ago. I haven't got it in yet. Does anyone know how much more power it gives the ninjette?

Hershey1 · March 8th, 2010, 02:42 PM

Hmmm... my soul has already been spent on something else, but hey! I have two kids!

250rStar · March 8th, 2010, 04:53 PM

so yeah tell me this isn't lame, i guess hotbodies got the growlers for the 250r last week from italy(thats where they are made) and when they went through customs they let them go through without a country of origin so now they US customs wont let them send any out. called today and they are supposed to get the ok to ship them out today so i got 2day shipping so hopefully i'll get it by wed or thursday man totally lame guys!! makes me sad

250rStar · March 9th, 2010, 05:20 PM

250rStar · March 10th, 2010, 12:06 AM

Davidb1986 · March 10th, 2010, 12:29 AM

My MGP growler made it through customs today and I'll get it Thursday!!! I can't wait to get it!!!!

backinthesaddleagain · March 10th, 2010, 01:30 PM

Superbike Toy Store (florida) has MGP growler in stock. $288 including ground shipping. Anyone have one? Wondering about quality of welds, rivits, cf, fit, etc.

250rStar · March 10th, 2010, 08:14 PM

GOT THE EXHAUST!!!!! ahh ok so here's from opening to being on the bike.

got the box at my front door

opened the box

laid all the parts of the exhaust out

installed on the bike in about 30 min maybe less was realllllly easy to throw on

and heres the video of the ninjette sounds like its on steroids!!!!

Link to original page on YouTube.

sixer · March 10th, 2010, 10:22 PM

Sounds nice for the price Star... What is *Phillips Headlights* in your sig... bulbs or some kind of mod???

ninja250 · March 10th, 2010, 10:26 PM

"eh I'll probably get pulled over for that.. but.. whatever."
Ahahaha. That was classic.

Sounds good man.

250rStar · March 10th, 2010, 11:51 PM

yeah i forgot what the other crap was i just remember the brand of the bulbs was phillips and they are supposed to be brighter then stock and yeah i know a couple cops that will sign the fixit ticket for me saying i put the stock pipe back on if i do get pulled over haha

riiken · March 11th, 2010, 07:03 AM

Is it Philips Vision Plus? I have that on my car. Its super bright! Much better than stock.

backinthesaddleagain · March 11th, 2010, 09:06 AM

Sounds good and looks nice.

250rStar · March 12th, 2010, 12:00 AM

ok so i already got the front fender from tyga perf. it looks great they did a really good job and it fit perfect! and it only took 8 days to get here!! from thailand!!!!! waaaahhh anyways gunna put pics up tomorrow afternoon when i get off work

I have em for $265 with free shipping

David - Did you receive yours yet?

backinthesaddleagain · March 12th, 2010, 08:13 AM

Thanks Richard didn't see them in the store the other day. Any thoughts on the quality. They claim rejetting isn't necessary, if not then is flow really increased or is it basically just look and sound.

RaceBikeRentals · March 12th, 2010, 08:15 AM

I'll have to let the others who have received them speak about the quality. You can't really expect to get much increased HP with a slip-on. You're right, its more just the look and the sound. Stock jetting should be fine.

backinthesaddleagain · March 12th, 2010, 08:18 AM

Thanks. Will keep you in mind if I decide to go in that direction.

250rStar · March 13th, 2010, 01:38 AM

so far the quality of the exhaust is pretty good, the only thing is the clamp that holds the slipon to the header is covered with this shiney crap to make it look nice but its like really its probably going to get upwards of like 200 degrees so as you can guess after it cooled off from the first ride it started to peel off but not that bad i'll post pics tomorrow. also got my carbon fiber fender and got it installed last night when i got off work so it rained today (of course) and its supposed to be really nice out tomorrow so when i wash it i'll take some pics so you guys can see what it looks like, i like how it looks! cant go wrong with carbon fiber right!

250rStar · March 13th, 2010, 03:11 PM

ok heres the pics i promised!!

backinthesaddleagain · March 15th, 2010, 09:17 AM

Thanks TJ - looks good.

Vatos_locos · March 26th, 2010, 05:28 AM

hehe nice now order one hugger ( carbon fiber ) from ebay
and make your bike like mine

post one better photo from the front fender if you can.. on tyga's site it looks much better :S

Preachaman · April 5th, 2010, 07:31 PM

I just ordered the Yoshi full exhaust with the Carbon fiber...I enjoy your bike's look, can't wait to sort of duplicate

miks · April 5th, 2010, 10:59 PM

Bike looks good mate, but you needa get rid of that fender and the reflectors, really cleans it up!

My husband just put mine put on today. I'm not sure how much more power it gives the bike, but it tried to to a wheelie on me today! I am not sure I am liking how LOUD it is, though

Ear plugs are a must-have! I think this bike is now louder than my cruiser with Hard Krome pipes!

Chubbs032 · April 17th, 2010, 05:52 PM

WHere can I find the black plastic side panels in CF?

Vatos_locos · April 23rd, 2010, 11:49 AM

Tyga sells them or find someone to made a pair
