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!

You still sporting the ‘Tie Fighter’ front fender with those big ol’ hubcap reflectors on it? Well, if you do lots of night riding it might be a good idea to keep it — Visibility is king… But if you’re looking for a way to tone it down a little, here is a neat trick to help clean up the look.

Next time you’re at your local bike shop, pick up two license plate reflectors. I picked up two from CycleGear for $.99/ea. (if you’re bike shop doesn’t have them, eBay has got you covered)

The threads on them match the stock threads perfectly. And, if you cut down the back screw a little, They will sit flush to the body work. No More ‘Tie Fighter’ look from the reflectors!! Woo-Hoo!

User KKim over @ KawiForums.com did a real nice picture walk through of removing the intake snorkel on the 250. So far users have reported that it gives the bike a nice growl, and makes the low end power delivery smooth out a tad.

Granted this can be accomplished on a stock bike, but you might want to look into the DynaJet jet kit which comes with a set of needles just for modified air boxes.

If anyone has any Dyno Charts w/ AFR’s after doing this mod, please leave a comment. Inquiring minds want to know how this can affect a stock bike.
