A vicious cycle
I finally got my camera up and running so here are some shots. I still have a muffler, seat cowl, and a CF fender floating somewhere in shipping limbo so as soon as those come in and get put on, I'll update.

Nice! Are those a-tech bits? Your fender already looks good but a CF one would be the cherry on top!

You'd think so, but it's actually pretty expensive. Around 4,000 yen per item which is around $40 USD. On a positive note though, a-tech ships their products in some of the most durable cardboard boxes I've ever seen.

use google translate and type in the web address and it will translate everything for you. Just use an online currency converter to figure out what the prices are in USD.

Thanks Shift. I think you were the one I got the idea from off of the other forum. Zartan- FYI- when I installed the 2 bros using your hangar I had to use the bolt that came with the exhaust, one of the spacers that came with the exhaust, AND your rubber spacer. It was the only way I would have enough clearance with the muffler. I'm not sure how other manufacturers exhaust are, but with the 2 bros I needed a much longer bolt than the aftermarket exhaust bolt you included. Thankfully the bolt that came with the exhaust was pretty long and it all worked out. I'm not complaining about the hangar at all- I love it. Just giving you some feedback about the set up! |

All the aftermarkets slip ons are shaped differently . I use 2 spacers on my lowered bike and use the original bolt, with my Yoshi. It is hard to make a one size fits all!! Your bike looks great!!

Thanks Zartan! I figured that every exhaust has different clearance issues. Your hangar definitely makes a huge difference overall though. I can't blabber on enough about how much it cleans up the back of the bike!

No front fender yet. They should be sending it out in about another week. They had to make one first.

The new fender makes the front end look like it is hanging in mid air. Very nice.

But what's the name of the seat style you got? If I decide to get one, I'd probably get the same that you've got (it looks sick man). Also, here's the link to Becky's deal for Ninjette.org users: http://www.ninjette.org/forums/showthread.php?t=21744

Ok, and this was a new seat or just the cover?
If it's just a cover was it very hard to install? Thanks!
