I laid my ninja 500 down awhile ago!....... I was being umm..... very stupid.... But Yea I thought I would show you all what it did to my bike and how far I have gotten to turning it into a naked sports bike.... I ripped a whole through the water pump cover and bent the handle bar. broke the throttle. broke the bottom fairing and back fairing is really scratched. rapped the right muffler. I now have taken off the right muffler (sounds like a really loud truck I hate it) I plasti dipped the back fairing, Took the gauges off added a CB900 Hornet headlight. got a new handle bar and throttle. Going to do a 2-1 Leo vince moto GP pro exhaust on it. going to Add woodcraft foot-pegs I have a lot of plans for it! yea i know its probably better just to buy a better bike (still have my red bull CBR F3) But It was my first real bike! and my dad helped me get it SO! it means a lot to me just to get it back on the road. (might sell, but I wanna have a few more rides before I let it go)

Here are some pictures

What I have done so far

 

That last pic reminds me of a GS500 in many ways.

Yeah, if you can hold on to it, it would make a great back-up bike for toolin' around town.

 

WOW. Looks like you were cooking pretty fast when you bit it. Glad you're ok. Let's see the right side
