Hello from North Carolina
Hello Everyone,
Thinking about buying a Ninja 250 to convert into a Cafe Racer or Street Tracker. My current project is a 1980 Honda CX500D Street Tracker. Wanted to build the next bike project for my wife. Will be looking through threads for ideas on how to modify a pre 08 Ninja 250R. Will appreciate any ideas! |

Thanks for the kind welcome from everyone.
My goal with the Ninja would make it light as possible, lower it for my 5'3" tall wife, remove as many of the fairings as possible (Naked Bike), install one or two round headlamps, bar end mirrors, and Cafe or Street tracker style seat pan & seat pad. Will look into low restriction exhaust/air filtration. Strip all parts off, clean/prep & paint. |
