Yeah, the Pirelli SD's are really popular for the 250 track bikes I hear. There are many other good options too.

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.

Your center tail light cover is on upside down, the side that you have facing outward is suppose to face downward, is that intentional?

It was like that when I bought it. I was wondering when I was looking at it. How the hell does that happen? I'll see when I fix it.

Dude, it's driving me crazy! I can't stop looking at that center tail light piece...it's like freaking me out! You must fix it and let me know or I'll continue to lose sleep over your damn tail light piece!

Fixed! I can't believe how it lights right up no matter which way you turn it. I also was tired of how much the plate and the plate light bounced, so I got it cut down quite a bit more. I'm gonna check around town for some turn signals tonight, then I might cut the signals off too.

Nice...

I also replaced the headlight bulb. The low beam was burned out. I couldn't wait for my nice $5-shipped pair to arrive from overseas, so I had to pull a bulb from the "projector" headlights on my van. Looks a LOT better now. Nice and bright with a blue tint. I looked at it too close, and now I see a big Ninja headlight watermarked into everything I see. I hope it lasts a long time. I expect it to last me a while anyway. Not much more riding time left this year. It snowed May 29th and stuck. Melted by the end of the day, but it still snowed!

I cracked out that little red piece to see if it helped in any way, but it doesn't. I don't know what I could do to make it light up the plate, but it would probably need to move back 1-2".

Man! It's been a while since I was on this post! I had to find it again while helping out a new member. Anyway, I'll be adding to this post soon, once I get my 15 tooth sprocket, and sport demon tires. (Currently on order.) Oh, and I also got a Double Bubble windscreen finally! Will post some comparison shots soon.
