2011 Special Edition without decals

bluesinorbit · April 13th, 2011, 11:37 PM

I took the plunge and took off most of the stickers off of the fairings. It looks a bit naked right now, but I think I'll get used to the look soon enough. The bike looks a little bigger and I always loved the few plain white ones you see online and hopefully this helps others with the 2011 SE decide.

Mekkakat · April 14th, 2011, 05:49 AM

nothing better than a clean white bike imo. One day I really want the same setup, but with gold powder coated wheels and matching accessories.

Looks really nice.

nattygirl · April 14th, 2011, 06:25 AM

Looks good. Wish kawi would of made the tail end white as well though.

Ninja Assassin · April 14th, 2011, 06:57 AM

That looks sharp man. I wish i had gone with the white SE now and done that. I didn't like the decals on it so went with a '10 red one.

slolane · April 14th, 2011, 11:35 AM

Looks good

Mizono · April 14th, 2011, 12:51 PM

That looks VERY clean!!! The decals weren't too bad but just something about a clean white bike looks so good

itsmeanuj · April 15th, 2011, 08:45 PM

wow, now I'm split over which color I like more, White or Lime Green

Love it

20ninja03 · April 15th, 2011, 10:12 PM

Clean and crisp looking

reaubideux · April 27th, 2011, 04:45 PM

Love the plain white. I would've gotten all white if it were an option. Now paint the rear to match, remove the graphics from the tank/fairings and you're all set.

(and maybe ditch the rim tape, but that's just my personal taste

)

Snake · April 27th, 2011, 04:48 PM

It has the look of a police bike withought the lights.

Green Streak · April 27th, 2011, 06:07 PM

Looks really good! I wonder what it would look like with white rim tape.

DFLINT · April 27th, 2011, 06:18 PM

Very good looking! Paint the rear and lose the rim tape and one of the best I have ever seen! IMO (besides black

)

Either way I like it

It would look like Warlords bike, scroll down to the 4th and 5th pic in THIS POST.

Hitman · May 2nd, 2011, 04:06 PM

What method did you use to remove the stickers? Heat gun?

I used a hair dryer to warm the decals and peel them off, although I removed mine in 30 degree weather.

Without the hair dryer they kept breaking into smaller pieces, with the hair dryer they pulled off in mostly one piece. I would bet leaving the bike out in the sun on a warm day would make pulling the decals off really easy without a hair dryer.

For any left over adhesive I used goo gone with a clean towel.

HKr1 · May 3rd, 2011, 03:23 PM

Or a white seat cowl

CZroe · May 19th, 2011, 05:15 AM

Much better. The tail looks very different now.

greatwhiteninja · June 4th, 2011, 09:11 PM

im guessing all the SE white 250's have the black/red stripe cleared on the tank? was hoping to remove all red from the bike but that one is cleared on my tank

owell still looks good

Lockshi3 · June 11th, 2011, 08:18 AM

Looks great! I also had a hard time deciding between green or white

2011Ninja250R · July 16th, 2011, 02:44 PM

Oh yeah. Go with some new white wheel tape and a white seat cowl and that will be the fer-shhhnizzle.

Honko · July 16th, 2011, 05:19 PM

I had bought the white SE with the intention of removing all the decals that I could, but the design has kind of grown on me. I still detest the spatter white on the tail and will be going to get that painted white eventually.

All you need now is a white bell helmet and a hi-vis yellow vest with reflective stripes and the cages will avoid you like the plague.

EsrTek · July 16th, 2011, 08:20 PM

I kinda like the 3 color combo, hated the 80'ish looking paint splashes, so those came off.
But I did leave the black/red stickers.

I like the idea of the white rear seat cowl, wonder how it will look on the pure black tail (plz post a pic if you do this).
I was planning on a black seat cowl, as I kinda like the white front and black rear of mine.

greatwhiteninja · July 16th, 2011, 09:33 PM

I don't think the white seat cowl would look good on the black.. at least after putting the black cowl on mine I love the way it looks.

Honko · July 16th, 2011, 09:41 PM

You'd definitely have to paint the tail white if you were going to go for a white seat cowl.

greatwhiteninja · July 16th, 2011, 09:43 PM

And talking to a buddy of mine who is a painter .. trying to paint pearl is a pita! And making it match the existing pearl .

EsrTek · July 16th, 2011, 10:30 PM

guess I will just stay w the org plan and go w a black cowl.

In fact I just got the money for it today, need to order one and a zero grav DB screen

(then back to broke

)

Dude, it works. I got a white helmet with some reflective tape on it and I notice cars slowing down and straightening out in front of me. Then I just cruise by them.

akima · July 19th, 2011, 03:06 PM

That looks much better I think. Lovely bike! Can't wait to get mine 3 weeks from now

2011Ninja250R · July 26th, 2011, 08:13 PM

Go with the dark smoke ZG DB wind screen. That'll "blacken up" the front a bit as well. Will look sweeeeet.

etiainen · July 27th, 2011, 07:49 AM

I wish kawi made an all white for 2012...i know its not going to happen, but I'd be even tempted to sell mine to get that.

greatwhiteninja · July 28th, 2011, 10:00 AM

heres mine with all decals removed minus the tank decals since they are cleared on.. i also took some black pin stripe over the red in the tank decal so now its all white/black

Strange wing mirrors. The way they're sticking out so far makes them look like those ones you put on cars so you can see past your trailer.

greatwhiteninja · July 28th, 2011, 12:07 PM

They are bar end mirrors.. better then the stock mirrors IMO.. let's you see your blindspot .

Mr.E · July 29th, 2011, 11:08 PM

I have a question for you guys who removed the decals on your white se. I got mine on lay away until september. One of my favorite things that won me over were the little ninja stars on the back there.are those still on your bike after you removed the stickers? As in, are the stars apprt of the paint or are they appart of the stickers?

greatwhiteninja · July 30th, 2011, 04:35 AM

They are part of the stickers ..

Mr.E · July 30th, 2011, 05:53 AM
