One of our readers KL sent in a nice picture of his new FMF Racing Apex Slip-on Exhaust (previously covered here). In fact, since that time, Apex has updated their site, and the exhaust they are offering for the Ninja 250 is the cylindrical version of the exhaust — not the diamond shaped one. All that aside, this exhaust comes in two forms Carbon Fiber and Titanium, and is overall a nice piece in the slipon category for this bike. (Price $400 - $435)

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!
Wow - more and more exhausts are showing up every day. It’s sorta hard to keep up with all of them, but It looks like most of major players have stepped up to the plate and released something for the ol’ Ninja 250R.
Today’s offering comes from FMF Racing in the form of their Apex Ti Carbon Exhaust. Which is a good looking exhaust. It aesthetically competes with the Yosh, and performance wise… Don’t know yet as the details are a bit lacking. However, traditionally the FMF exhausts I have heard sound rad — so hopefully we can expect the same here..
Details:
- Aerospace quality Carbon Fiber can and Titanium endcap
- Incredible sound.
- Most advanced slip-on on the market.
- Hand crafted in the USA.
Manufacture: FMF Racing
Price: ~$425.00
Purchase: Here
Note: Do we have to pay extra for the “Hand creafted .. Areospace quality Carbon Fiber..” 
Thanks for the Tip Bryan!
DOH! Why are all these awesome Ninja goodies only available overseas. Why is no one importing this stuff!! Usually by now, there would at least be someone on eBay willing to ship this over to the US, but nothing. Bumkis. Nadd. Zip. Zilch!
A-Tech out of Japan has released a plethera of Cosmetic body work in Carbon Fiber for the Ninja 250R. The one that really catches my eye is the Combo Chain Guard / Rear Hugger — which is a piece I have been looking for for domestically quite some time.
If anyone of our readers are familiar with Japanese, and could decode the page a little for us (Google Translator was FAIL!) I’d greatly appreciated it. And any details on if they will ship to the US or if there is a US distro — Hook us up.. I can hear the saliva drip to the floor from many, many, many 250R owners as they read this..
Manufacture: A-Tech (Japan)

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?
