for those of you who killed your airbox...
after chopping it up for pods or jus seperating the box from the battery box..how did you keep the battery box held in?
where hav people been tucking hiding resistor boxes and relays when ditching fairings? iv seen a few ninjas, very bare but where did you tuck all that at? or did you remove/delete somethings? i still dont understand how theres a resister box when its carborated

I'm not sure why you are removing fairings. If you want a cruiser, then why not just buy one. Some people and bikes do not look good when naked. The Ninjette is one of them.

on my first ninja i removed the airbox and i used large zipties connected to each other to make a cross harness for the battery. before i did that it used to slide all over the place.

Hiding the wiring is difficult. I had to relocate all the items on my bike when I did the cafe racer look. Adding and removing wiring. It is a pain. But if you first find a location for the items in question then run the wires it can be done. Lots of solder and shrink tubing involved.
I took inspiration from the chopper guys.

If you cut the battery box off the airbox, there are two bolts in the bottom of the battery box that keep it secure on the bike. The batter stays in the box because the seat is on top of it and there is not enough space for the battery to bounce out.

Hmm, I saw a picture of that earlier today. Any reason that you took the whole inner fender piece off? That is there to keep crap from the road off of everything "inside" the bike.

And yes, that is an opinion. Again, people who don't like plastic should buy cruisers. That's also an opinion. I may be the only one here that will say that to your face, but I know for a fact that other people share that opinion too.

Just my .02 here, you might want to keep that innner fender and cut it down as needed. It might be easier to have something to bolt the battery to, and it will be good to use that space for your electronics so that they don't get wet/covered in road grime. There's some pretty nasty stuff that gets kicked up off the road. Look at the swingarm right in front of your tire if you want to see what I'm talking about

ya that peice is pretty knicked up from rocks. i did end up cutting down the plastic jus enough to keep the built in nuts on it.
on another note..my friends pregen i picked up for him when we bought it...the airbox wasnt even connected to the carbs and it started and ran fine ??? until you got to 10kl rpms and it kinda bogged down. weird

Yeah that happened on a bike that my buddy had as well. It was good up to like 10k in the mid-range, and it just hung there whenever you gave it WOT, no matter where it was in the rpm's.
Once you get the airbox boots re-attached, it will run like a champ. Does it have the spring clamps on those boots or are those missing? Those were missing on my buddy's bike, and that's why the airbox boots came off the carbs. |

Get the spring clamps. We put those on, and the airbox sealed right down.
Big hose clamps might work and are cheaper. |

There's someone around here who cut the back seat off. I think you might be interested in their bike. I'll look around a bit and see if I can find it for ya. It looked pretty good the way it was done.
EDIT: here's how his bike looked before he stopped posting: and here's the thread: http://www.ninjette.org/forums/showt...t=tail+chopped |
