Greetings from Lakeland, TN.

New here, really enjoy other members' posts and ride pics. I recently bought a 2008 ninjette. Will post pics soon.

Hi! hope to see some pictures of your bike soon! (if you are on this board long enough you are bound to spend at least $200 on your bike :P)

Welcome to the group. The ninjette will soon have a lock on your mind, begging you to take this mix of plastic, steel and rubber, screaming through some twists and turns, and will have your face embraced with a permasmile, rivaling the best that can be bought and modified.

enjoy, and you will learn,
seek and you shall find,
ride and you shall smile.

Here is a pic of the bike in my garage. As far as mods go, I have pirelli sport demons, 150/17 and 120/17 for the rear and front. The stock fender is removed, rimstripes, tank pad etc.

Thanks guys.

Good stuff and welcome to the forum. Do you have pics of the rear and sides. Curious to see how the rear 150 tire looks.

Momaru · January 3rd, 2010, 02:04 PM

Is that a reflector on your rear cowling that's lit up, just above/forward of your rear tire?

pathfinder · January 3rd, 2010, 03:14 PM

Here are the details on the tires. I did quite some research on it. Many in the forums have said about pinching and hitting the chain gaurd. Actually there is ample room between the tire and the arm/guard (see pics)

Also I have seen people complaining about "stability" with larger tires, but so far I have experienced no problems (more than 600 miles on new tires). I talked to a few folks who do these sort of mods regularly and they think 150 should be fine on the stock rim. Obviously they realize the maneuverability will be low due to wider tires, but 150 pirellis seem to be negligible/unoticeable on street bikes unless you are looking at pro-level performances.

Yes, cheap reflector tape.

Here are some more pics on fender eliminator & tank pad (from immortal graphix.)
