Fairings - Picture of these fairings on a bike

[bbjminardo]

Does anyone have a picture of these fairings on an actual bike? Saw these on eBay and am really thinking about getting them with my tax return just for a back up to have an extra set!

I absolutely love the 300! Love the look and the idea of it but those rims completely ruin that bike for me! Absolutely HIDEOUS!

I like the rims and the windscreen/upper fairing profile better on the J/K bikes but the rest looks amazing in non-SE Kawi Green. Too bad they don't have that color here.

yea man I really do love everything on it! The tanks curves, flush turn signals, wind sheild, and just the thicker bike but those rims smh cant standd them!

Oh and the only thing I dont like about the 250s are the Kawasaki stickers and those little ninja stickers on the 300 are perfect!!

I wouldn't spend the money just to have an extra set of plastics. Spend the money on gear (boots, pants, etc.) if you need it and take a track school instead.

If you really need a second set of plastics, buy race plastics and track that bike

I was dead set on getting them but I have decided not too and save to money but I do have gear already and not interested in going to a track at this point but im gonna upgrade all the lights to LED and just save the rest but right on man

You will love the track and it will improve your riding and confidence so keep it in mind for the future.

Kind of curious why you want to upgrade the lights to LED. I personally like to do mods that really contribute to the performance, comfort, or my enjoyment of the bike.

My friend owned the 250 and had installed an FMF exhaust and jet kit. My 1st mod was a Zero Gravity light tint double bubble which added more wind protection and was a nice change from the scratched OEM screen. My next 2 mods were a set of Woodcraft clip-ons to improve the handling/seating position and a Pyramid Plastics hugger to help keep the rear end clean.

I don't have many pics of the bike because its halfway across the country but here's one showing the double bubble windscreen. The bikes next to it are my CRF450R and 636. Don't even ask about the mods on those bikes

I've been searching for a pic too!! Couldn't find one I wanted these fairings, but in green...
I dropped the idea after reading about lots of fitting problems...

LED lights are brighter and integrated tail light so it will strob anytime I touch the breaks. Saftey features.

Gotcha. Its odd Kawi never did put LEDs. My 03 636 has them in the tail. Enjoy your new bike and making it your own

Only if :

and b) buy really good ones. None of this Ebay chinese stuff. Also, they're much harder to see in the daytime than incandescent bulbs.

I see you plan to get an integrated light in the name of saftey. Get the one from CustomLED. None of the others come close in performance. It can flash or strobe at a number of different speeds, and it gives you a control over brightness. Also, keep the turn signals on stalks in addition to the signals in the integrated tail light. These are much more visible than just using the signals in the integrated tail light.

Here's a video comparing the CustomLED tail light to another brand:

All that said, you can get a brake light flasher and a 2357 bulb for about $20. A 2357 bulb has the same running filament as the stock 1157, but a much brighter brake filament. That's what I use. I have my flasher set to flash 3 times in about 2 seconds then stay solid on the third flash. It does the job at a fraction of the cost.

Never seen a garage smaller than mine with just as many bikes in it!!

[SMman]

Actually, its a big garage and that's just a little nook around the corner that my brother-in-law was gracious to give me, now that I spend my winters halfway across the country. Around the corner from my 3 bikes is a 2007 R1 and a street legal 2003 YZF450. I had to store my DR-Z400SM in another location.

Back on topic, quite a difference between those tail lights on the R6s. I had read poor reviews on Clear Alternatives in the past. A friend of mine had one on his 04 ZX-10R and it was very hard to see, just like in the video. As clean as integrated signals look, I'm keeping the stock blinkers on my 250 so people can actually see me.

I know I don't have the stock signals on the 636 anymore and they are less visible but still better than putting in the brake light alone. The stockers wouldn't work with the fender elminator I bought so I picked up small signals made by Lockhart Phillips for the front and rear. Sorry to ramble

will deffiently be getting customLEDs thank you!

Yepp! Check out some of their videos that are linked to their site.

They have some other cool functions like the crazy flashy strobe mode that would be good if you're broken down on the side of the road. Their new units also turn off the running light when the blinker is on. That makes the turn signal more visible to other traffic behind you.
