Remember back a few weeks ago when we all were drooling over the A-Tech Carbon Fiber Rear Hugger… And then we all went on to bitch about how we can’t get any of these cool parts over here in the US? Well, That didn’t stop one of our beloved 2Fiddy readers from skirting the system and getting one of these bad boys sent over the pond..

And lemme say this… It was worth every freaking penny…

This is some of the highest quality Carbon fiber work I have seen in a while.. And the look is just sick. The rear hugger and chain guard now make a one piece shroud that is an absolute panty dropper.

So how did our buddy Chris order this bad boy? He used an online service called “Rinkya” — Which is an ordering proxy service that will order the part locally in Japan, and ship it direct to you (For a small fee of course).

Awesome piece man! I’m Majorly jealous.. And Thanks for Hooking 2Fiddy.com up with the pics and details!

So, enough of this chatter… And onto some eye candy!

I’m shooting blanks on the titles guys… err.. I mean.. I’m trying to be creative… but my mind just goes soft.. *Sigh*

Anyways, If you’re looking for a neat way to change up the look of your Ninja without having to take it to the paint booth… Wrap it. Thats right, slap some V’s up on that bitch! ( And by V’s I mean Vinyl, not Viagra.. How did this post go so wrong so quickly? )

The Guys over at Powersports Wraps create DIY vinyl wraps, for what seems to be all things motor sports, now have some pictures of Wrapped Ninja’s on their Blog. Apparently, no specific kit is needed just buy enough of the pattern you like and get wrapping, stretching, and cutting. The wrap in the picture above cost about $300 in materials… Exponentially less for the same designs to be done with an Airbrush.

Price: Varies depending on Materials

Zero Gravity has updated their website to include three new windscreens for the Ninja 250R. In addition, I must give them some mad props for the compare pictures. So Rarely do you see manufactures take the time out to do a compare like the one above.

Both the SR and the Double Bubble look hot.. But for all of you with iron tooshies their sport touring option might be a nice addition to help with the highway wind beating you take with the stocker.

And for those of you with a crazy side, there are 10 Colors to choose from.. I wonder how well the colors match OEM Kawasaki colors.. Any one have any preference with Zero Gravity colored windscreens in the past?

[Thanks for the tip Charles!]

Pricing:
SR Series (20-281) : $79.95
Double Bubble (16-281): $89.95
Sport Touring (23-281): $89.95

Seeing as how getting replacement fairings from Kawasaki seems to be damn near impossible right now, it’s good to see that the after market is picking up their slack. Airtech Streamlining is the first company I have seen that has come out with a full set of interchangeable Race / Street bodywork for the 250R — And also the first company that has an oil containment pan — which really smooths out the look of the whole bike.

All the parts are manufactured in house by Airtech Streamlining out of high quality fiberglass and are very reasonably priced. This is a really sharp package.. Someone needs to pick up a set of these and paint them up. I would love to see these on a finished bike.

Manufacture: Airtech Streamlining
Parts Numbers and Pricing are as follows:

2EX21C KAWASAKI EX250 UPPER FAIRING - COMPETITION $159.07
2EX21S KAWASAKI EX250 UPPER FAIRING - STREET $197.98
2EX22 KAWASAKI EX250 LOWER FAIRING - RIGHT $197.98

Reader DeerCelica sent me in a link to his latest Mod on his Ninja 250R. He broke out the ol’ rattle can and threw on a few quick coats of Krylon on his windscreen — and it came out really nice.

His Instructions are:

4 allen head bolts and the windscreen slides right out, the bolts on the bottom facing up don’t go to the windscreen, they go to the mirrors. Takes a whole 60 seconds to remove the screen. After that, lay some tape over the front to stop overspray onto the front of the screen. I used Krylon Satin Black (satin / flat spray paint lays allllot smoother than gloss). Gave it two light coats and re-installed (mist it on slowly).

Simple enough huh…

Also, if you don’t want to use a full black spay.. Also an old trick is to use model ‘tint’ spray. This Testors paint is available at any hobby store — and does a great job. (Not to mention it comes in ‘candy’ colors like blue, green, red, etc.)

Thanks for the tip DeerCelica!

As much as I hate ebay, It doesn’t hurt to head over there every once in a while to see if any new parts have managed to slip past me, and the forums, and my readers, etc. etc.

Today I ended up finding a neat piece. eBayer Scotts870 is making carbon fiber rear huggers for the 250R. It’s actually a pretty nice little piece for custom made.. (And I can speak from experience — working with raw carbon fiber sucks…) Currently, the auction is running at $70.. Might be worth a bid..

Since we’re on the topic: Other Parts I’d like to see made in Carbon Fiber:
1. Chain Guard
2. The plastic thigh covers
3. Front Fender

Can y’all think of any more?

Sharskinz has released a complete race body work for the Ninja 250R… Available in 4 different pieces (1 Piece Upper, 1 Piece Lower, Race Tail, and Front fender) — The styling is not to far of a jump from stock, with the main exception of no headlight, and a really nicely sculpted rear tail. ( Plus the rail tail still lets you use the stock seat )

This is awesome that we’re starting to see more aftermarket support, but even more so, more race part support. Now we just need someone to make the same tail, with integrated brake and turn lights… And I’ll be one happy man.

PN: 2105 / 1 Piece Race Upper: ~$310
PN: 2106 / 1 Piece Race Lower: ~$200
PN: 2107 / Race Tail: ~$210
PN: 2108 / Front Fender: ~$103

[ Note: It looks like they are selling their Dev bike for $3000 with the body work on it!! If you live in Florida this is a steal if your looking for a track bike! Link ]
