Still here - been busy with some other stuff lately, but still working on sticker and shirt orders here and there.

Feel free to e-mail me if you need anything.

[mike_sema]

hey kevin i have a very big order em on its way

[vollrathdude]

In the process of ordering cheap ebay fairings with free custom paint, i figured i might as well have some identification marks put on this beast. I cruised this thread hoping to find a sweet one to steal but there weren't any in this style so i whipped it up in paint. If anybody wants to use it, go right ahead.

I can't decide if i like the fatter R or thinner R better

why not 250r instead. The bike isn't actually a ZX.

[divingtigger]

Hey Kev,

Got mine the other day and put them on already. When they are on my bike that green looks closer to gold or olive drab, turned out better than I could have imagined, wasn't sure about weither I'd like the green or the black, but that green looks sick. When the weather improves and I get the bike all back together I'll take picks of it.

Thanks again

I have a place locally that has some of the specialty vinyls available in smaller cuts instead of full rolls.

Some of the reflectives and specialty vinyls are a bit thicker than the solid color vinyl and can be quite a bit more expensive (some are about 6-10X more expensive than standard colors depending on size ).

If anyone wants any reflectives, carbon fibers, metallics/metal flakes, or other specialty vinyls, just e-mail me and I can find out the cost and lead time on them. If they are in stock locally, I can usually get them within a day or two. If they aren't, it can take up to a week to get.

[deezyellownutz]

Question - Are the sticker paintable? In process of painting the bike White wit ha blue pearl and was wondering if I can use these stickers between the base / pearl and clear coat?

There's just no easy answer as there are different paint systems out there and different processes for applying them and how they may interact/react when vinyl is applied between the base and clear coats.

I have supplied graphics to a few guys that have cleared over them, but they specified the exact vinyl they wanted and I do not know what paint they used. I have supplied some graphics from my stock vinyls to other guys that have cleared over them and they all tested first to ensure they worked with the paints they were using.

The best thing I can suggest would be to get a scrap of material, apply the base coat, then apply a test sticker, and then shoot the clear and see what happens. If the solvents in the paint interact negatively, you will likely see the sticker bubble or deform and/or have adhesion problems with the clear.

If you e-mail your address, I can send you some vinyl scraps if you want to test them with the paint you will be using - kevins_garage@yahoo.com

They are fairly easy to remove if you decide to change them up a year or two later or whatever - a hair dryer or heat gun can be helpful.

[want1sobad]

kevin - i'd like a pair of the tank "KAWASAKI" overlays in black - how much am i lookin for those?

thanks

Tank overlays are $7 delivered

[tabogon]

Got mine today, they look great! Thanks, Kevin!

[kevins_garage]

I had a tooth problem earlier this week that put me out of commission for a few days, but things are getting back to normal. Anyone that was waiting on an order from earlier this week, I apologize for the delay, but they are done and on their way in todays mail.

I have something new also - check it out!!!


These are nice 100% cotton hats with a cloth adjuster and metal buckle for adjustable sizing. I have access to a pretty decent selection of hat colors - black, red, maroon, royal blue, navy blue, khaki, white, orange, yellow - unfortunately, no Kawasaki green though...

I have some black and khaki hats right now and need to put in an order for some other colors, so it will probably be late next week until I have them in. I have a limited selection of material colors right now also - white, red, black, silver - to mix-and-match for the text.

I'm going to start them out at $10 delivered - if you're interested, e-mail me and let me know. I can ship black or khaki hats immediately - the rest will be a week out. kevins_garage@yahoo.com

[kkim]

hmmm... any chance of adding lime green text?

[CZroe]

I like the hat! Any way to get it without the "250R" part?

Anyway, what I really want is some way to make my stock windscreen look angular and segmented like old fighter cockpits, specifically to ape the style of the Captain Falcon's Blue Falcon hovercraft racer from the later F-Zero video games. Also, the "07" stickers, "BLUE FALCON" stickers, and other stuff to match.

Does this sound even remotely possible? I have no idea how it would be done. Heck, I'd even want something like the striped tail flaps except views from above on either side of the seat (like a number plate but only two stripes instead of seven).

working on that - hopefully I'll find a transfer vinyl that is close enough to Kawi green this week...

Hats can be done with just the Ninja text. I just did a sample with the Euro 250R included.

I could do the 07 and Blue Falcon text, but the windscreen and number plates would probably be easiest to do by hand - just cut the shapes out and apply/overlap as needed.

That would be awesome. I guess I'd have to decide on placement and sizing before asking how much, but I suck at such things. Any suggestions? I'm thinkin' a small "07" on the front fender and two on either side in front of the V-shaped side fairing cuts, then a small "BLUE FALCON" bit along the bottom where kkim has his ninjette.org lettering.

Ah! Got any scrap black bits? How much for a large-enough sheet to work with? How much for some white tail number plates that I can use for the basic shape? I may want to do that on the area below the tail that cuts into side covers.

I'm color-blind (yes, seriously). What color is the stripe that goes over the jets and is interupted by the cockpit? It looks different to me in different pictures but I'm pretty sure that it's red in this one.

Even though it could hide a small crack on my right and front fairing (bent fairing stay between the fairings in front of the right front turn signal; not straightened), I wouldn't want the stripe to be across that area because, well, I like my Ninja logo too darn much. Instead, I'd prefer a little wedge in the indentation behind the V-shaped cut in the side fairings... yeah, not so much a "stripe," but I like a bit of subtlety. I just want to invoke the Blue Falcon's style, not fully replicate it. That's why I will keep the Ninja and Kawasaki logos.

What color are the ring things inside the Blue Falcon's jets or intakes or air-scoops or whatever they are? I want to find some way to mount two little same-colored "donuts" wedged in the V-shaped fairing cuts. You know, "frame-slider style," though not protruding. Not vinyl, of course... I'm thinking something like two colored skateboard wheels, though I'm still at a loss for mounting options. Ah! If I go with some mesh I can mount it to that. Sound like a plan to you?

Sorry, I know you aren't exactly here to help us come up with our designs, but I don't know who else to come to with all these questions.

I emailed him yesterday for an order and he got back to me this morning. I would just email him if you have questions.

[Sound Wave]

I never get a notification when I get a sitemail or photo comment. I actually have to visit the site. So it wouldn't surprise me that he doesn't know he has mail.

Hi,

I live in Brazil and I have a 2010 Ninja 250R. Here is a picture of her.


I was wanting to make a patch for it just like this model


Where can I find a vectored decal for this model like Ninja 250R Special Edition?

In Brazil there is this kit but it is with the green background. I need one with transparent background!

You will probably need to have that custom made. What you want is kind of like a mini-wrap and they usually aren't terribly cheap, especially if you don't have artwork that is ready to print/cut.

Sorry to any of you guys that have been having difficulties getting in touch with me lately. I had a tooth problem that has been off and on and have been in and out of the dentist, so depending on how bad the visit was, I may have been on pain killers for a day or two and had the notify ringer off on my phone. One last visit - I think - keeping my fingers crossed...


For some reason, I have received and e-mailed back and forth with a few people and then all of a sudden 3 or 4 e-mails into it, Yahoo decides to start putting e-mail replies into spam which I don't see on my phone. I don't always check email on the computer, so I miss those for a few days until I check and clear out my spam folder.

Ouch Kevin, hope that visit does ya. Had a friend that thought he was gonna lose a tooth recently (hurt so bad he couldn't even pick things up b/c the blood pressure change) but turned out to be a bit of debris that had worked so deep in his gums the dentist couldn't find it for the first 20mins of digging.

Wow~ I honestly don't really like the '10 SE in green (think it's the green/white, no offense green-lovers) but once on blue it's smexy, especially in that dappled sunlight!
