    In US, you have to buy stickers separately like KTM in India. I dont know what Kawasaki India is doing in that regard. Stickers costs a bomb as well
    25k for changing the looks partially? No chance. Stickering is a lot more sensible. The thing about stickering is that if you know someone who can do if professionally, it reduces your cost like crazy to minimal amounts.
    For example take a look at this

    Its an RC 390. There's a black base wrap over the white fairing and original stickers, over which the new design has been put. Matte black for windshield. And a set of laser number plates thrown in, for which I didn't even pay 5k.
    The premium on getting it done from Kawasaki is too high.

      12k, I was referring to the whole fairing. Not stickering. And I think In India, the fairing comes along with stickers at no extra cost so that's another story. And yes, these Americans does believe what comes from factory are better than whats cut on the local sticker cutting shop and I have my reasons to agree with them. The perfection would just be so better. For example since you said KTM, You can just see what 'KTM powerparts' offer and what 'KTM Upgrades' offer a replica sticker of the former. I found both looks identical, but the powerparts one oozes quality everywhere.

        Guys, I really don't like my low beam light on all the time on my Ninja 300. My question to you guys is, can I go for HID projectors with angle rings. I would like my angel rings to be always on. On Ninja we don't have light on/off switch this is making things little complicated. Has anyone of you guys modified your Ninja with HIDs/angel rings, need your suggestion.

          Is your bike in warranty? If yes, you will void it by going for angel lights or hid

            You can go for bulb changed but don't go for projectors/angel rings or something like that. Any modifications in wiring would void your bike's warranty.

              HID projectors aren't effective either ways unless you get the branded.. for better night visibility, it is best to go for a better bulb.. I have experienced it with shitty projectors..

                True that, and you also dont want to screw up your electricals with those rings or whatever it is

                  Thank you guys for your valuable inputs. My bike is in warranty and is due for first service this month end. The point I am trying to put here is, its really odd that to have your regular headlight on during daytime, which is bothering me. Everyday many point out that my headlights are on during my ride to office and that gives me a awkward feeling. Honestly, this is what bothering me

                    I own R3 and it has also got daytime running lights. Many people point me out that lights are on but I don't care about them because they are on for a purpose so that bigger vehicles/pedestrians could recognise me from the distance and daytime running lights are going to mandatory for every vehicle from next year I think.

                      Let them point your headlight is on.. in about 2 years from now, it will be mandatory in India to have headlights on during day time. As in like in your bike.. if anyone points out for headlight, give them a thumbs up and move.. at the end, it gives others a visibility of your bike...

                        From a month or so even I'm riding with my headlights on Everytime I ride and the irritating part is people keep pointing at them in signals[emoji134]

                          Hi folks. Hope you all having a good time with your own Ninja 300. I am too having a great time with mine. And those who are following this thread just to know whether they should buy the 300 or not. I wish you guys all the best. Now coming to the point for what I thought to post on this thread is that after a long time 6oss (my bike, her name is 6oss) is getting a full system exhaust that quite fits my budget and is the best for the money I feel. So a GPR GPE TITANIO RACING FULL SYSTEM EXHAUST SYSTEM is on its way and apart from that I am gonna do some serious mod regarding the handling. Though the Ninja 300 is one of the best handlers in the segment. I wanted something more so I am going with USD suspension . Also I thought of much powerful brakes and I always dreamt of owning a bike with dual discs. While getting the 300 I had the option of N650 but I went for the 300. Many of us has gone through the same so must be knowing the reason why 300. So after lots of planning and thinking and discussing things with MOTOZONE (those who know them, well and good, for those who don't, they are tuners based in Pune/Mumbai and almost every 300 from here are handled by them).
                          So discussing with them we planned to customise the front end with USD forks with dual discs, custom made clip ons and bottom and upper tripple tree clamps and the knuckles to hold the either of the disc plates . Works on it have already been started. Will be posting the updates as the work will progress .

                          Posting some pics of the CAD design for the knuckles that will fit the forks and will hold the rotors [ATTACH]199642[/ATTACH]

                          Also there are many modifications done to the bike. I am not much of a writer. Please go to this link to know more about it.

                            Any advantage of dual discs overall single?
                            Plus the bike looks lovely with those stickers. Cost?

                              No disadvantages except for little weight gain. Rest all is absolutely perfect. Those are not just graphics. Its a complete paintjob costed around 25k including everything right from disassembling to fitting it back
