What piece went missing?

Ballardst · August 10th, 2016, 05:23 PM

I have a hole in my handlebar. I've never noticed what went there before. It looks like it should fit a bolt. On the right side there's a plug of some sort in (almost) the same place. So - what am I missing? Where/how do I replace it? How bad is it that it's missing? It rained the other day and I'm not sure when I lost it, did I be concerned about water getting... somewhere?

Welcome J!

Sounds like your missing a bar end. If so, then there are no real worries.

RacinNinja · August 10th, 2016, 05:28 PM

Those plastic plugs are where mirrors could mount but aren't used on the Ninjette's

Don't worry about it.

Welcome J!
My memory is a little rusty but if I recall correctly; mine has those too. But; someone will be along soon to give you the correct answer. That's one of the great things about this forum: the people & quality info are incredibly good and friendly!

I believe that's where the cup holder goes.

csmith12 · August 10th, 2016, 05:33 PM

Dang! I was too fast with my reply. No worries here aside of a missing plug in the unused hole.

I think the OP tricked us into answering early (& wrong!): there were no pictures when I first read his post!!!

Ballardst · August 10th, 2016, 06:18 PM

Awesome, thanks! And yeah, haha, I messed up the photo upload at first, but I thought I got it fixed faster than anyone could have looked at my thread.

Also, hi, I'm new ro the thread, been ridinf sbout a year, etc. I love how friendly and helpful ninja (and really all) riders are.

Welcome, J. Install that cup holder: you'll love it!

Jahjahwarrior · August 10th, 2016, 07:04 PM

You can mount a RAM 1" ball mount there too, works well for gopro, cellphone holder, etc.

NevadaWolf · August 10th, 2016, 08:05 PM

It's meant for mirrors on some bikes, but works great for RAM balls to mount accessories (phone, gps, MP3 player).

We're on 250's! Only in the corners. But; corners are where it counts!

Ballardst · August 10th, 2016, 09:10 PM

That's a good idea for the Ram ball. I was also thinking something similar. Does anyone know what size bolt it takes?

verboten1 · August 10th, 2016, 09:38 PM

I believe the conicular rod attaches to the canooter valve there

I think its 10mm. I used that also for RAM ball where I attach my phone or GPS holder.

It's this one: http://www.rammount.com/part/RAM-B-349U

The RAM-B-349U includes a M10 x 1.25 pitch male thread connected to a 1" rubber ball.

And to give Dr Yeager a plug for how it looks - http://www.theyeagergroup.com/ninja_250_RAM_Mount.htm

It's an opportunity for farkling.
