Cut fender, new rear signals, progrip tank stickAr, got bar-end mirrors coming in the mail, better handlebar position (handles lots better IMO), and my favorite.....DIY HOMEMADE NARUTO WINDSHIELD....LOLOL!

Used to have a windshield and it got trashed, figured i could make one out of something....and saw my $2 Walmart trashcan.... and found a ricey "exhaust plate" sticker (made of thin aluminum)... mocked it and realizes what it looked like. omg

Need to do something about those front turn signals...










$27 worth of changes.

Comments +/- welcomed. not sure if im keeping that LOL windshield.

O.C.D.

Ah keep it.  I like the ingenuity.  I would even say lose that rice plate on it and leave her alone.  Goes well with the color scheme you have.  :thumb:

What was the reason for the plate in the first place?  Stiffness?

Looks to be the stock graphite wheels from the '90's.

Yeah, man, very slick look to it.  Such an incredibly clean looking bike.
If you could give a brief tutorial on that windscreen, that'd be awesome.

Pictures tend to make things look better. Just keep that mind, haha.   :icon_lol:

If anything, props for ingenuity.

It's amazing when you chuck the mirrors how "clean" a bikes look becomes.

Speaking of mirrors, what do you use as mirrors genericchen? I hope you ride with some on.  :thumb:

What does this mod have to do with a "Ninja"?

It deals with a cartoon ninja, not a Kawasaki Ninja. 
Like he said in the original post: "DIY HOMEMADE NARUTO WINDSHIELD"
Naruto's the name of the tv show.



See how the metal plate on the headband resembles the front of the windscreen?

So that's a windshield? It looks just like a cover over the wires..I wonder how much wind it actually off-sets :?

My terminology might not be correct, but it does a good job of hiding the wires.

Bar-end mirrors are in the mail.

Bike might be for sale soon!

Ah ok, I was just wondering if it actually did anything as far as wind goes :thumb:
