RE: First Bike - '02 250R - 8/10/07
Just ordered carbon levers, mirrors, Ninja bar ends, and a polished fluid cap. Also doing the clear side markers to turn signals, and carbon front signals (was worried about yellow matching, and if I decide to paint it if it will match, have plenty of carbon fiber).
I love where the ad says that carbon pegs reduce weight. It's aluminum with a carbon design on it for one thing, second, they don't weigh that much! Maybe if my @ss lost weight it would be better. If I wanna lose a little weight, I'll take a dump before I ride.
Hope it'll look good. Now just need to fix (destroy) the rear inner fender, and replace my front faring that's cracked. Hopefully I can find one on eBay cheap soon here.
Not a fan of purple, but I'll see what budget has in store, since I want a car too.

Flip-flops were because I was anxious to get the video up, and it was too hot to change just to rev up the bike.
I'll get pics and video of my work. A vendor said I could get some free web net for the back by sending in pics and opinion. I hope I could get more stuff for vids. I figure it would help others to post a video of the installation. The front and back lights look like they'll be easy, as well as the fluid cap and mirrors.
I want to see if I can get my little bro to take a vid as I drive down the road, get a nice acceleration vid of the bike.

Finally cut my fender. I'm waiting on my clear side tails. I'll probably get some more signals for the back as a supplement. I do have some red reflectors on the plate, which the guy who had the motorcycle before put on. I kept the light on the back, just until I can get a smaller one, probably go with an LED setup, as one of the guys at work said he's had problems with his bulb setup burning out.

Finally changed the headlight out, which the low beam didn't work. I had to pull one out of the van. It's a cheap one, but it's a lot brighter than the old one, and it works. I'll see about getting a picture of them on the van.
I know about the center light, I fixed it. I was too busy worrying about the fender. I bought some turn signals to fit on the plate, so that'll clear up the tail.

Just got my stuff from JagMotors, aka ClutchLevers.com The bar ends were a little tough to take off, I needed a socket set for some torque. Fluid plate cover went on easy enough. Brake/clutch levers were quite simple, and feel really nice. Mirrors, I'm not too impressed with. They have a rubber boot covering the bottom. The screws go into the holes, and you have to tighten the nut down on the inside, which really sucks. You have two to tighten, but I could only get the one due to lack of space to put the other lower one on. I think they look good overall, though, and I will probably keep them, even though they look cheap from the driver's view. I like the round shape over the original square shape.
