Default Some updated pics/mods

Here's some recent pics of my baby !!
Added a Zero Gravity DB and Nitrous !! Also got front and rear stands for both bikes.. Mods to come are the homemade fender eliminator and integrated tail light compliments of the "how to section" and flush mount turns up front. There's alot more pics in my albums if anyone wants to see more. Thanks to all on the forums, I've learned alot by reading thru the how to's and such........Hope to soon be able to contribute some knowledge I've been learning.









Wife's new toy ! '08 Ninja 250r...added the DB and shaved the tail for sexiness !!

VTcbr- Yep, gonna tackle that also soon,also gonna clean up & spray swingarm black,(rearsets,heel guard,gas cap and such also or may powdercoat them) . Vin sticker on frame rail between fairing and tank (leftside) has to stay tho correct? I figure it does just curious if anyones removed theirs and got away with it.

Get rid of those droopy turn signals with some LED flushmounts.

You'll be suprised how many retards ask about your nitrous can.
I get asked once a week about the redbull can. "just incase i get thirsty" seems to confuse them pretty good, because when im thirsty the first thing i want is a 220 degree can of redbull.

And chop that exhaust pipe!! shortys FTW!

Its only been on for 2 weeks and 2 guys asked "you've got nitrous on yer bike?" I sometimes wonder if I'm the dumb one having to explain its just a energy can...from now on the answers "YEP !! It wasn't fast enuf" Can't count already how many tell me my headlight is out... Flushmounts are in the plan but I like the pipe so its gonna stay for now..maybe I'll do a search and listen to what a chopped one sounds like.

Yes it was.. stickers on the guard came right off with the blow dryer.. but when I tried to get them off the swing arm I scratched the surface down to bare metal, and it had a few nicks in it, cleaned, sanded, primed, coat of flat black and clear.. not as glossy as pic makes it look.

Will be interested in how you mount your plate.

The guy I bought my bike from mounted his plate on the swingarm and tossed the plate mount for the undertail he installed (I think). And he tossed the original rear fender too. So I gotta improvise a mount for my tags.
