My Ninja Rebuilt by myself

I repaired all the plastics using ABS cement. I painted with Krylon ($3.86 a can at Walmart).
I bought a set of Ebay clip-ons with a lot of adjust ability. I had a master cylinder and clutch perch with new shorty adjustable levers I had bought for my Yamaha. I believe they came off an ER6-N. I have a basket case 2004 ninja I robbed the rearset brackets off of.
And here she is:

Thanks, it is a 20' or so paint job though. That was only way I could get it back on the road by the time I was healed enough to be back on the road.

You did a lot of nice work to get that in shape again, congratulations!

If you decide you want the paint to look better close-up, sand it a little with some 400 grit wet and dry, and put a coat of Spraymax 2K on it. It's a very tough 2-part clear that comes in a spray can with a push button on the bottom to mix the two parts. You'd need at least two cans at a bit over $20 per can.

Thanks. If I want to have the paint look better I will probably go ahead and buy a Chinese fairing set. The plastic work is about a 20' job in some places also. There were a total of three pieces missing that I just put duct tape on backside and started pouring thin layers of ABS cement

Thanks. That's the way I feel about it for sure. I don't trust any of the shops around here, so I just learn how to do everything myself.

I wanted to mention that I really like the clip-on's that I got and I absolutely love the way she handles with the one inch drop in the front. And yes I have already maxed her out (105 on speedo so about 95) and no instability at high speed straight-line

About three years. My first bike was the 92 Yamaha Seca II. Not that much experience, but in a little over two and half years I put about 9500 miles on the Seca II

That's good to hear. I wondered when you said you ran off a ramp and crashed. Take it easy on the top speed runs though. You really should go to a local track for the high speed fun.

I intend to,that top speed run was made at 2:00am on a long stretch of four lane. I wanted to be sure after dropping the front an inch it didn't make the bike twitchy or anything

I have two areas of concern, if youve already looked these over feel free to disregard.

1) Youve used a front brake master off a bike with two calipers. Your lever "feel" is probably reduced at low braking pressure. Drive safe
2) Looks like a replacement bolt was used on the upper triple clamp, please use high grade bolt there for your safety

The bike the master cylinder came from does have dual brakes in front, but the master cylinder piston is the same as the ninjette oem at 14mm. It actually seems to have better "feel and feedback" than oem. Bolts are grade 8.8

Thanks. A few of my friends have commented that she looks like a superhero. That wasn't the intent, but I'll take it I guess. I just wanted her not to look like every other one on the road.
