I believe these are off the back, IIRC the fronts are kind of integrated into the fairing shape.

Yeah, this is pretty big, I'm not sure what I want to do. I don't really want to put anything on the new paint, but I need to do something! This is just what I had, split it in half and laid it down.

Yeah they are definitely off the back of a ninja 650, super easy to source for free because everyone wants and integrated tail light. Just make a friend of a 650 rider lol

Excellent! They would be a great mod for both sets of signals. I do like how they look, it's very cool when certain parts can work easily on other bikes. Good info.

verboten1 · October 20th, 2014, 08:13 AM

I don't see how they would work on the back, for the Front I had to reshape the opening in the fairing, and modify the hold down on the 650 signal a little bit.

You can take the stems and the plates all apart very easily and modify them.
They came off the back of a ninja 650- A kid with a fender eliminator gave them too me with the license plate holder so I could put it on a dirt bike.

I couldn't get the dirt bike titled for the street so I used them on the ninjette with zip ties.

They are not direct blot on but the break down easily for modification.

Did you just need to reshape the back plate? Its been a long time since I have seen these parts.

verboten1 · January 12th, 2015, 07:42 PM

More parts for this thing!

Woodcraft clipons (mounted all kinds of the wrong way!) Finally get me where I need to be.

Probably going to do the stainless lines and new (to me) Tokico 4 pot caliper and adapter soon.

The powder coating (toaster) oven keeps the shed bearable.

we'll see, I haven't ridden it yet, so this may not be the final position

verboten1 · January 29th, 2015, 08:29 PM

I ended up switching the bars around a bit more, and may still need to change them again!

I also picked up a nice leather Corbin seat, It's getting super close to being the bike I want!

verboten1 · February 26th, 2015, 08:15 AM

adding in some more stuff to do.

I knew I never should have even though about being done with this bike.

Going to attempt mounting a Ninja 650 wheel. the wheel, some spacer material, bearings and whatnot are on their way!

Thanks to @subxero this got stuck in my head!

subxero · February 26th, 2015, 08:44 AM

Better you than me

but If it doesn't work out I may be interested in buying the 650 wheel off you

Singh2jz · February 26th, 2015, 01:21 PM

Congrats man, the bike looks great!

Thank you, the hope is for paint this year, Cadillac Pearl White, with maybe some orange flake in the pearl.

verboten1 · March 14th, 2015, 09:12 AM

Wheel attempt starting.

The wide wheel project will not necessarily be as easy as expected, but I still think I can do it.

Chain lines up (based on slider)

Barely any room for caliper stay

Overall it's centered well enough. Maybe shim swing arm over if possible. Haven't messed with the bike at all yet.

Singh2jz · March 14th, 2015, 10:31 AM

But what about when you mount the tire? You think it'll rub from the front?

verboten1 · March 14th, 2015, 11:21 AM

Tons of room up there, it's the width of the wheel center that's the biggest issue. I'm measuring the swing arm though, it looks like my mock up part may be bent.

verboten1 · March 20th, 2015, 08:14 PM

Today the rear set adapters were installed.

Before:

After:

I wish I didn't have to move them up, just back would have been perfect, but now my legs fit under the tank better. I think that's the last ergo mod I planned.

verboten1 · March 24th, 2015, 05:01 PM

Another goodie.
Mount for my new S5

verboten1 · April 2nd, 2015, 01:18 PM

More treats for me!

I have come to dislike the 250 seat after the years.

verboten1 · April 3rd, 2015, 06:33 AM

It only took me a few rides lol

spencers seat mods is a great alternative to a new seat if you want to save some $$$

I'm getting ready for my 2000 mile trip first week of May. Oil change, new spark plugs, check valves, wire up lighter socket, dual usb ports, and my auxiliary lights.

Naked!

Lights mounted

Wired up

Night time

All lights

Low beam only

USB and lighter socket

Singh2jz · April 13th, 2015, 07:38 PM

Looks great, keep it up!

Aux light are a definite plus.

verboten1 · April 15th, 2015, 03:21 AM

Thanks, I have yet to ride with them, but I like the extra light.

Got the stands, and changed out the cracked front wheel and the brakes.

verboten1 · April 24th, 2015, 03:19 PM

Yeah....I don't think this works. Back to black tomorrow I think.
