and they are looking really cool. What are your inputs on ride and handling after using these ?

hi buddy, these levers are astonishing first of all the built quality is very good.
the most important thing is dat it gives u far more superior comfort during harsh or sudden breaking as compared to the OEM levers, again it is fully customized. wat should be the lever distance from the handle(u can adjust to the position ur comfortable with),it is same with the clutch levers
"and my personal opinion it gives ur bike an extra edge over looks and performance compared to other bike"

SORRY FOR REPLYING U SO LATE

they are 10k right? just wanted your input, do you think that price is justified?

does it give you more feedback? more taut? response more immediate? sorry for the noob question as i've never had any experience with customised levers before...

the looks are amazing though!

But, as asked by Abhinav, is the price for these levers justified. As, I was searching around for these and found Kraftewerk levers for Ninja with similar kind of features for 5500 INR on PlanetDSG. Are these some what different from those mentioned here : Kawasaki Ninja 250R 08-11: Kraftewerk Folding Levers: Gold -.. ?

Any Other Suggestions?

If you hadn't posted pics of your gear i wouldn't have recognized you today.

If you dont mind, I would suggest you to chuck those gloves and buy a pair of DSG Revive's. They are excellent even for city use and do not heat up. The air vents on the fingers keep your hands cool. Its very important to use gloves which are constructed with leather, at least on the palm area, as textile gloves will shear away in seconds in the event of a slide or fall.

Let me know when you are buying any more stuff and i shall help you out.

P.S. Loved the nice clean new look of the bike. Everytime i see a ninja i just fall in love with it all over again. I can't believe i own such an awesome bike even after a year of ownership.

Nice Meeting you too Adi

.. Wish you had brought your ninja as well

.

Yes i will buy the leather gloves when i get more accustomed to my ninja

... My 1st job is to get the bike wax and shampoo, 3m MF cloths and get my lid replaced. Damn if only i had known about the link with orion would have purchased it only there..

Anyway called up helmet paradise and told them the issue, They asked me to bring the helmet along.. hope they replace it with a new one and not just fix this one and give

See my post in the Bike Polish thread for detailing products.

Demand a replacement from Helmet Paradise. If you didnt know helmet paradise and Balaji helmets are owned by the same person. Even the staff rotates between these 2 shops. Its a small world in that business

One suggestion - pull out the padding and you should see a sticker with the mfg date. That should tell you how old the stock is and probably thats why the helmet is coming apart.

Sparx Hornet right? What was the issue with the helmet?

They have given me a very old stock which is literally falling apart. the bottom plastic ptach thing has already come off within 1 day and the soft patch on the innerplastic is literally falling off (not the inner foam padding). I am sure i got a lemon here since i have read such good reviews on this helmet everywhere else.

.. I guess there is only one service station in Mumbai that is ShreeRam Bajaj at Ghatkopar. And yea its location is very pathetic as its in some industrial area with narrow lanes and terrible traffic. trust me its a pain to reach there. but thankfully people in there are very helpfull and know their job very well.

I have being to PRS many times but still havnt bought any tank pads. I want to see how it looks on bike in real

still it has to be any one from the two below, wat say guys ??

I have the one on the right on Ninja, the dark green color of the pad makes a lovely contrast with lighter green background and looks great. I've seen the left version on other Ninjas, its a no contest, buy the right one. Got mine from Bachoo motors for 1500

**Gahlaut** · 06-16-2011, 05:21 PM

Recently completed a Mumbai - Delhi - Mumbai trip on my baby Ninja. The bike behaved more than perfectly, no trouble throughout.

Top speed touched at 163 kph with a total of 90kgs on the bike and about 10litres of petrol. Bike cruises wonderfully at 140kph without one even realising it.

Minor issue with the rear views, really wish the arms were a bit longer, no matter how you adjust them, a good part of the mirror just shows your arm.

First thing i did after reaching back to Mumbai was give the Ninja a wash, and she looked beautiful as ever. I still haven't got over the looks of my baby. Had some thoughts of trading it in for the 650, but after the ride am convinced its got enough oomph in it for me and its fairly comfortable for long rides as well, will be riding this one for a long time i hope.

Should be putting up a travelogue soon in case you guys are interested.

Cheers
