OK...why would you stretch it? Hard to keep the front down?

Ralgha · February 23rd, 2016, 01:12 PM

I should probably stretch mine, those 30 horses will NOT let me keep the nose on the ground.

Seriously though, looks pretty awesome, though I don't go for the stretches. I especially like the lighting, I'm working on an evil plan for LED lighting on mine.

Suki2003 · February 23rd, 2016, 01:47 PM

I think most people will wonder why you stretched it. but the only answer you need is, "I wanted to"

I think I see a batman logo on there. word. Cool bike! it's custom and it's yours.

Nice! Welcome! What headlight mods?

MrAtom · February 23rd, 2016, 10:50 PM

Nice gixxer, bro

Monarch · February 24th, 2016, 10:47 AM

Even though it isn't necessarily my cup of tea, I applaud you on the work you've done

Making a bike your "own" is a part of owning a motorcycle

Any plans for swapping the speedo?

How do you like that ebay steering damper? I'm thinking of ordering one.

Wow. This is pretty mean for this forum.

Rocdabloc1169 · February 25th, 2016, 05:28 AM

All good, haters going to hate, the headlight is one i got for 150$ just google aliexpress you can find it there, the steering damper works perfect, i think it was 110, same website, with a simple turn you can tighten or loosen the handling, pretty legit...and i stretched it cause i think it looks better than the stock position, didn't know personal preference bothered so many people

Rocdabloc1169 · February 25th, 2016, 05:32 AM

Oh, and in one of the pics i'm sure you can see part of my jaguar, with 22's and lots more extras including subs, go ahead and pass your judgement

LittleRedNinjette · February 25th, 2016, 05:48 AM

Not my style but it looks like you put a lot of time and love into the bike.

snot · February 25th, 2016, 05:55 AM

Are you drag racing?

choneofakind · February 25th, 2016, 06:18 AM

Neither of your rides is my style, but they look neat!! Glad you like them, go rock it and show it off.

MrAtom · February 25th, 2016, 01:46 PM

My little turd outran a Jaguar once. Lady almost hit me, so I zipped way passed her on the center divider, and she tried her best to keep up. Iirc, it was one of those heavy, slow old ones, but still haha.

cuong-nutz · February 25th, 2016, 03:53 PM

Any pictures of headlight ouput? Was it a complete headlight or you have to assemble?

Rocdabloc1169 · February 25th, 2016, 04:12 PM

Headlight is bright, picture is just blue halo, headlight shines like high beam on low beam, and asshole mode on highbeam, in my opinion well worth the money, headlight fully assembled, just plug and play
Wanted to do the speedo but didnt find my right set up yet, want the digital koso gauge knockoff from aliexpress site, but want to integrate cell phone holder and gear indicator, going to happen eventually

Ralgha · February 25th, 2016, 04:21 PM

The only assembled headlights I see on aliexpress are over $400. What did you get?

Like this one?? This vintage isn't that slow but pretty much any bike will beat it.

To the OP, ignore haters. Only person you have to please on this planet is yourself, within reason, of course.

There's so much wrong with this statement... beam patterns are totally different. I get that you're saying the low beam is really bright and the high beam is stooopid, but let's be real here. He's a retro-nerd, he's looking for output pic porn to compare his recent retro to.

Rocdabloc1169 · February 26th, 2016, 03:23 PM

Owner was an impatient prick too when it took me a second to get out because I had to figure out the very unusual door lock/handle system.

Yes, we didn't always go from point A to Point B, so if you have an exotic, classic, or special car of interest, keep that in mind. But for a price we will keep your car right up front if we can, which means we don't touch it. A $100 tip for upfront service got very special attention for the pick-up truck owner who was concerned about the computers he was carrying in his vehicle. But $5 for your S class will go right next to the beat-up Nissan.

Good times.

choneofakind · February 26th, 2016, 05:57 PM

Nope, not trolling from here! I looks like a bixenon retrofit, no?

He's asking about output pictures, because that's what retrofit fans do. This might help:

I think you're bike is badass. Did you build the swing arm yourself? Or got any more info on it? I dig the theme as well!

HoneyBadgerRy · February 29th, 2016, 12:26 PM

Not being a hater, just genually curious. If you lean back, pull up, and drop the clutch if first gear wide open, can it wheelie?

Rocdabloc1169 · February 29th, 2016, 12:29 PM

Thanks man, the stretch is bike specific and can be found online, i wanna say 200 for the blocks, google motosport.com kawasaki ninja 250 swingarm extensions

crazymadbastard · February 29th, 2016, 01:07 PM

Welcome to ninjette.org! Neat bike.

I am disappointed that some members said what they said.

cadd · February 29th, 2016, 01:52 PM

Sweet bike! Would I ride it? Heck yea, you bet I would!!!! Would I use my own money for the same mods? Nope, not my style.

It's definitely unique. I too, am interested in the headlights. Do you have a better picture of the output? Specifically, I'm looking for the "cut off" or beam pattern. Being stupid bright doesn't really help if it's a flood pattern. Or if it's too much throw and not enough spill, that wouldn't be good either.

Welcome to the forums.

I agree, not really being the friendliest Ninja 250 site on the web.

It's not what I would do to my bike, but if the OP likes it on his bike more power to him. I'm still interested in the mods he has done.

Heck it's even posted in the farkle section.

Racer x · March 1st, 2016, 05:43 AM

I like it.
I think it's the stretch rear that gets people on the love it /hate it thing.
I stretched and lowered my bike new and really like it.
Having worked on Jaguars for a long time I like the new one. It's a Lincoln Towncar and very reliable.

Wait, what? I know I haven't been as active this past year, but unless something has suddenly and drastically changed, this is THE friendliest Ninja site on the web.

Ralgha · March 1st, 2016, 01:05 PM

This is the friendliest forum I've ever been a part of overall (except for our group's private one when I played EVE). Stretching a bike is an extreme mod that elicits extreme emotions, I would venture to guess that almost everybody either loves it or hates it with no middle ground.

There were some rude comments starting out, even mine was kinda rude, though I intended it in jest, and for that I apologize. Don't let a few impulse posts skew your view of this wonderful community.

csmith12 · March 1st, 2016, 01:31 PM

Yes it is, and there were a couple of posts that were not friendly.
