Finally got clip ons...

heffree · February 9th, 2015, 10:11 PM

...and I was not expecting such a huge difference! The feel and look are almost like having a whole new bike. I've only been on a couple relatively short rides with them but, so far, I don't think I'll be going back to the stock setup any time soon.
I guess this would be as good a time as any to post a pic of the little ninja since I have yet to do so on the forum.
Enjoy!

what tail is that? also how are you supporting the seat after cutting the rear support off?

Hasersys · February 11th, 2015, 02:37 PM

I like the look but if it were me Id add some support under that tail. Sweet though, I have seen a couple people cut that off an ride the thing but it has to be flexing quiet a bit.

Looks awesome, great DIY job.

Nothing more satisfying than making a bike your own style.

The tail was custom made by the last guy that owned the bike. The seat is actually surprisingly rigid with that part of the frame cut off. And I'm not the lightest guy either...

I actually got rid of the whole bike. Haha I wanted a cruiser and I can't afford both right now so I sold it. However, this was my second ninja 250 and it won't be my last.

crazymadbastard · February 13th, 2015, 12:42 PM

It's made for the pregen, just looks off cause the tail of the bike is so much shorter than normal

He wanted a cruiser and couldn't afford both, said it right after the part you read about he sold it, premature much

Nah, I get that he wanted the cruiser but literally sold the bike 3 days after doing a mod is just very foreign to me. He was saying how happy he was and how it felt like a whole new bike lol

JohnnyBravo · February 15th, 2015, 08:42 PM

Didn't feel like a cruiser though...

Sirref · February 15th, 2015, 09:01 PM

^ That's for damn sure, that's the exact opposite of a cruiser
