Sarge the 250 in atl

milehighhawkins · October 2nd, 2014, 06:22 AM

Hi I'm jake, I have 01 ninja 250. My first bike when I was 18 was a cbr 900rr which I quickly realized was too much bike for me to handle. I went 5 years without a bike, had a few scooters to screw around on.
The ninja has pro taper bars and risers, cleaned up the front end, and rear fender delete. Mechanically this thing is great, all work needed has been done;oi/fluidsl, chains, sprockets,tires, brakes, carbs cleaned and synced.
Eventually I want to repaint it, I also have a round headlight I need to put on I think it'll flow better with the bars, also want to add stainless steel front brake lines. Sorry for the crappy cell pics, I'll break the camera out this weekend

Thanks everybody, appreciate it!

Does anyone know the easier way to fill the tank holes? I've thought about just putting a bolt and painting the tip for now

What did you do for the rear fender delete? Signals look to be relocated..how did you secure the sockets into the holes? Also what did you do to mount the license plate and bracket?

Good looking bike, man

*also, just put those original bolts back into the tank and paint them. Always seemed the cleanest to me.

Rear end was done by my friend(previous owner) he just used a metal bracket bent it to to shape, the sockets are the ones you can get from the auto parts store. I need to redo the left one it occasionally shorts.

Did the sockets just wedge into place?

Hello

milehighhawkins · April 27th, 2015, 05:06 PM

It's been awhile since I've updated, I have a new round headlight to mount I also got an extra seat that I'm going to wrap with something a little different(vinyl on the way). I also plan on painting it olive drab over the next couple weeks. I am going to paint the rear set and little tidbits bronze or black haven't decided yet

crazymadbastard · April 27th, 2015, 06:09 PM

Looking forward to the updates Jake.

milehighhawkins · May 12th, 2015, 04:35 PM

I finally mounted my headlight, I love how it turned out.

The new material for my extra seat is suppose to be here this week.

I am still trying to decide on how i want to paint it. I'm leaning towards olive drab, but properly spraying it and using midnight blue has been an idea floating around in my head

milehighhawkins · May 14th, 2015, 05:59 PM

Wrapping this seat has been a pain in the ***. The material is thick marine grade with no stretch

S-MoZ · May 16th, 2015, 02:30 PM

Nice it looks good with that new headlight

CZroe · June 4th, 2015, 01:04 PM

Love the bars! See ya on the south side.

Smart guy, knew that a 900 was too much! Headlight looking good and welcome!
