yup i wanted to do it right cause i didnt want it to start bubbling up or flaking off within a month lol

i sanded down
then got plastic primer from homedepot
(after applying plastic primer, any paint will stick)
then did 1 coat white metal primer
then 2 coats of gloss white

But you're gonna do this to a 3 year old 250, I'm probably wrong about you owning it for 3 years, but in the end age is age, and moving up is moving up.

I have only owned it since April of this year when I bought it new from the dealer. And I have been riding for about 15 years.

Dude, I like your whole bike and the red calipers. What kind of paint did you used, brake paint I guess?

i used Red VHT caliper paint (you could find it at autozone...but i got it off amazon.com)

i sanded down the calipers first and then sprayed with three coats of paint

also did the same for the sprocket

They aren't bad but I don't like them much. Rather have one color grip.

I guess our only difference is I'd buy a brand new ninja 500 with 2 into 1 exhaust system installed and jetted for much less ependiture.
My possessing a ninja 250 already would definetly influence aforementioned purchase.

Was going to be Ebay. I am currently searching for a new job so any more mods to my bike will be a while from now. But I found one on there for like $105 if I remember correctly. I get discounts on ebay for selling though so about $90 for me.

str8t six · October 15th, 2011, 09:16 PM

do you know if the skidmarkx huggers that are on ebay will accommodate a 150 tire?

Idk if they will or not. Only way to know is to try or maybe someone else on here will know?
