New exhaust for 05 ninja500r
 

Hey everyone I'm new to the forums as well as new to the Ninja Family...i just bought an 05 Ninja 500R and i'm totally happy with it so far..except for the Exhaust...I hate the sound, it doesnt sound like a street bike..sounds more like a dirt bike..does anyone know where and what kind of exhaust will make my bike sound better.???

Welcome! You can check out this site http://www.ex500riders.com Anytime that I have been stuck I tend to find an answer there. Some of the ppl over there have done some pretty interesting things with their 500's.

This is the guy i always email. HardRacing101@aol.com <HardRacing101@aol.com> He will answer the emails the same day if not the same hour!!!! If you want you can mention my name maybe he will hook you up. (Michael DeHaven)

hey everyone!!!...thanks for the feedback...i went out and bought the full muzzy system for my bike..which is on its way and should be on my bike sometime next week...i also bought a smoked windshield, and carbonfiber tank pad, and i modified/chopped the rear fender....the only things left are the turn signals and i'll be happy for this summer...i'm still alittle confused as far as the turn signals go...i cant find any that are specifically for the ninja500's...are there any? or is there just one standard size of light, that i'll have to modify to make fit my bike???

most aftermarket lights are universal, and most of them will fit in the holes where the stock lights are. the only this you will have to do is use your existing connector to fit the new light. If you get the shorty ones, you may need a filler plate that can be found at your local store.
