integrated my tail light today

[denver_whitest185]

i got my tail light kit finally, and finished cutting off the fender today. i got some iridescent 1156 bulbs (silverstars) since i think they give it a cool hue when they are off, and are still street legal since they light up yellow. i used the stock license plate holder, and bolted that to piece of aluminum, which is bolted through some frame bolts.

i also took off the stock bar ends (for a narrower bar look/feel), and swapped out the grips for some progrip gels (to make up for the bar ends dampening)





the only other aesthetic mod i have planned are some flushmount front signals (maybe in a few weeks )

Ya dude, that looks really good. When your done with that bike (next spring i hope) and you want somthing bigger, you can sell it to me for my girl.

thanks, but the more and more i think about it, the more i feel that i should really hold on to this for a few years. its the newest vehicle ive ever owned, i paid cash so i don't owe any money on it, and the last tank of gas got me around 65 mpg.

whenever i feel like moving up, i think i'll just buy a second bike for a weekend cruising (like an aprilia shiver )

I'm all for integration, just watch out for the dogs.

Very nice

Love the Ninja 250. So how do you like the Muzzy pipe?
Any performance gains from it?

well i bought the bike with the muzzy installed, so i can't really give you an opinion of before and after. from what ive read, exhausts really don't give much if any of a performance gain on these bikes. i would think that with a good re-jet, you'll get maybe 1 hp out of it (theres only ~30 hp to the rear wheel on a stock bike). it does take 20-25 lbs off the bike though since you have to remove the center stand too.

i think it makes the bike sound kinda beefy (lower tone, louder) and my friend mike (who has a built forester) keeps telling me it sounds like a Subaru, which it kinda does...
