Here it is when i got it
here it is after paint and new front rim notice the ugly red rear
Now here is what it looks like after the rear painted to match front
Since i bought the bike i put the new front rim on got rid of the ugly faded purple one, added front fender, painted bike metalic blue, and painted rear black. Now im waiting on my k&n to get here along with my decals i ordered and d&d full exhaust. Im starting to like it without the side farings but i dont like the front that is on it looks like a r6 hacked front or something.

Thats awesome. Does she ride already or is this gonna be a first time for her? My gf just bought an '08 ninja 250 for her first bike a few months ago. She's already wanting to go to a 600.

Yeah or in my case, my gf got the 250 beginning of this season and now wants something larger. Difference is she wants to keep the 250 and add a larger bike to the stable.

i added 1 more to the tand between the 2 on the side so there wasnt a huge gap of blue and it is a size in between the 2 on there so it fits right in. Now im clear coating all them in.
