Finally I paid the booking amount today at the Blore PBK center. Expecting the bike to be delivered in 90 days (Mr. J said it could come sooner) so fingers crossed. Gotta save up for the accessories now.

The black ninja on display was placed on the ground and not on its regular pedestal. Mr. J was kind enough to let me sit on the bike again. Man it was so lovely. Was like a dream. Loved the ergonomics of the bike. Cant wait to ride it. Didnt feel a wee bit heavy despite the kerb weight of 172 kilos.

I have to say that I am elated to be a part of this elite club of ninja owners and the other members as well.

Below are a few queries that I have. Will be thankful if the Ninja owners could comment on it.

Any idea if the REAL NO CUT sliders for this ninja are available and where can i source them?

2) Tank pad - go for original Ninja ones (available online,maybe?) or the Progrip ones, like the one I have. -- where can i source the progrip ones? Are they good and how much do they cost approx.? If one would compare is it better to buy the original ninja tank pad or progrip is sufficient ?

4) Puig bubble windscreen - alternative to the OEM exhaust. I saw this in Oz, looks great, but I had run out of money! -- what is the advantage of an aftermarket windscreen?

6) Bike cover - get a good quality cover for the motorcycle. -- I heard that Khivraj stocks the ninja covers which cost under 1k INR. Are they any good?

7) Rim tapes - gives the wheels a cool racing look! -- where are these available and how much do they cost approx.?

9) 3M Scotchgard paintguard: Useful to keep the paint scratch free. But very pricey. -- can I avail this at the service center? How much do they charge? hopefully it doesnt screw up the paint quality.

10) Xena alarm lock - lets a shrieking sound loud enough to puncture the ear-drums of would be thieves! -- where is this available and cost? will bajaj fit this on the bike for me?
Will look forward to riding with the boys once my bike is delivered. thanks in anticipation for the replies.

P.S. check out this link. Break In Secrets--How To Break In New Motorcycle and Car Engines For More Power Sounds too good to be true. Please share comments and views on this.
