40 pilot jets
No name bar end mirrors
Avon Roadrider tires

140/70 in the rear, 110/80 in the front.

QuoteI would put clip-ons on her.

I know, I think it would look much better.

Quoteany more mods to come?

I want to shorten the turn signals at least. I was thinking about replacing them all together. Maybe some clip-ons. Maybe some sort of windshield. And I would really like to get the lower fairing. If I could find one in good condition, I'd buy it.

I too opted for the Avon RoadRiders.  I'm using stock sizes though.

As for signal lights, I'm thinking pretty seriously about these:

....moments later....
yeah, I stopped thinking about it and just bought them...
I'm pretty sure the seller has more though!

I got some signals just like those and the quality is kinda low.  If they get wet they tend to not work until they are dry again.

...sorry if I've led you astray, w00derson! :oops:

I guess I'll just have to wait and see how they turn out.  They don't look too bad, and for that matter, to be honest, I'm a bit of a fair-weather rider anyway.  SO, they shouldn't see TOO much moisture. :dunno_white:

No problem. I am a fair weather rider myself. Plus, for under $30 shipped, I guess you can't expect too much.

Nice Bike, Looks good. How do you like those tires? I just bought a set of the Avon Roadriders for my Ninja. I haven't put them on yet, though.

I have no complaints. Much better than what was on there before. Thats for sure.

Did you install your signals yet? If so, any pics? I got mine a few days ago. I think I might install them tomorrow.
