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

Many of us have been waiting for an Integrated taillight kit, or a no cut fender eliminator for a while now. Bikelitez.com just releases a new kit that is a true no-cut kit (With license plate light) that gives the deep mount look that a lot of sport riders like, all while getting rid of the banana hammock rear fender in the process.

Overall, I didn’t think I’d like the tucked look on the 250R.. But It won me over. Just make sure you check your Local laws first. I know some have strict license plate visibility laws. Other wise, if I hadn’t already chopped my fender — I’d probably fork up the cash for this one…

Keep in mind, the nice part of no cut kits, is that if you ever sell the bike, or state/local laws change, you can go right back to stock without worrying about random holes cut in your bike. (No amount of super glue and bondo would ever fix some of these fender chops! )

Price: ~150$

Reader Chris sent me in this picture of his Homemade Shortie exhaust, and I just had to put it up. This is such a great little example of how crafty the 250R Community is getting.

Even better — When I asked Chris, he was nice enough to throw us together a lil step by step — AND — Add in some videos… Woot! So, if you’ve been looking for a shortie exhaust on the cheap… Here’s your chance..

2Fiddy’r Kate sent me an email:

Dr. Mister 2Fiddy,

My boyfriend just got us 2 brand new Ninja’s — so I got us 2 brand new iPhones. Do you have any iPhone wall papers that we could use?

Kate

Well, hells yeah! I too have a brand spanking new iPhone, and was just thinking the same gosh darn thing… So, I whipped one up.. But, if anyone wants to add more, I’ll post them here… Just send me any image that is 320×480 to the email address below, and I’ll add it. And if you need some tips on how to add it to you phone check out this link: Download and Install Wallpaper on your iPhone.

P.s. Kate… For future reference, it helps on this site if you don’t mention ‘Boyfriends’ or ‘Husbands’ when you’re asking a question. But mad relationship props on the iPhones for the Ninjas…

Wow guys… What a crazy week it has been…. Not only did we have a contest kicking it full swing, but I was called away for a business trip, so I did a call out for some content from the readers..

First — I have so much 2Fiddy Email right now to go through! Y’all really came through for me, and I got up as much of it as I could. (If you don’t see your submission yet — give me a day or two to sort through everything) — On top of that,  I received so many just random emails about the site with ideas, and offers for more giveaways.. Just completely over whelming how popular this lil’ site has become in such a short time.

Second — The Galfer Braided Stainless Brake Line Giveaway. This contest ended last Friday, and if you’re not the winner — No worries, I have ANOTHER giveaway already for later this week. And the winner is…

Kawasaki UK updated their website recently to add in some neat goodies for the Ninja 250R. No updates on the US site (I mean common, they still have a picture of a 07 up for parts!) — But rumor has it there will be some parts released Stateside during the dealer meeting in October.

The parts that jumped out at me were the Bubble Windscren and the LED Turn Signals. Hopefully some of these (If they are DOT approved *shrug*) Start showing up stateside…

Last week there was a post about painting your heatshield… This week, one of our readers Chris submitted some great step by step info on hwo to do this, but also doing the end cap on the exhaust as well… This adds a super rad touch…

[The following was Submitted by Chirs. Thanks!]

Picture 1- Finished product a few days after the paint has completely dried in the bright light.

Instead of spending 100.00 plus dollars on a pre made fender eliminator kit where some of the after market versions say they won’t except the option rear seat cowl I thought I could make something for free and spend the 100 bucks somewhere else.

Tools that I used: Dremel with spiral cutter, grinding stones/burrs and the flex shaft attachment.

Time involved: Be ready to spend some time as the whole section of the bike must be taken apart where you will need to strip off the tail light housing so that you can work on it closely.

Hey Guys — Just wanted to say thanks for being fans… Today we hit our 100th post here on 2fiddy.com after only 3 months.. And the fact that I have been able to post about 100 things in 3 Months about a single bike should be an indication of what a rad lil’ machine we have sitting in our garages!

HOWEVER… I really, really, really, need some help over the next week… I Have been called away for some business, and won’t have very much time for updates. I want to keep the content coming so there are lots of chances for people to win Some Galfer braided Brake Lines… So I was hoping some of you would create some content for me?!? Puuuuuuh - Lease? (Look — Puppy dog eyes and all… -> )

What I’m looking for is Equiptment reviews.. What cha’ wearing.. What cha’ bolting on.. What’s protecting your hands, feet, noggin, etc. I just need 1 or 2 solid paragraphs about why that product is rad ( or sucks ) — Part numbers — And a pic if you got it (if not, I can find one) … etc. etc… Email me it to me at the address in the image below.. And I’ll be forever grateful.. (I’m sure the readers will be as well)

Thanks Guys! You made the first 100 Posts awesome… Here’s to the Next eleventy billion! (Yeah, You heard me.. Eleventy billion… The 250R Will take over the world… )

So, one of our readers sent us in some pictures of his proof of concept exhaust hanger that he is thinking about creating for our beloved Ninja 250R’s… But he is looking to Gauge interest on wther or not it is worth creating these bad boys..

Well… Ummm.. HELL YEAH! It’s worth it… But he’s not just looking for my word, he’s looking for our readers word as well.. So tell him what you think… He says He’s going to try and get them to be around $60/each… Which I think is a fair price to slap some billet on my bike and get rid of those rear pegs…

So, If you want these — Comment here and tell him to start cranking these bad boys out — And Make sure you tell All your friends to do so as well.. Because all I have to say is DIBS!!! — I get #1…
