Update after new bars, tinted shield, lowered front end. I love this bike!

2006 Kawasaki Ninja 650R

I bought this guy this summer for a ridiculous deal. 8k miles on the odo. The first owner put on the miles, then the bike was stored for about 10 years by the 2nd owner. I'm the 3rd owner.

So far I'm working through all my due diligences - it has new tires, fuel hoses, brake pads, brake fluid, oil flush and change, coolant flush and change, new clutch/brake levers, new windscreen, new spark plugs, and a new battery. I'm doing the chain and sprockets next. I deleted the rear fender with a Competition Werkes kit.

Glad to be here!

So I installed these wheel stripes. What do you think? I'm torn.

IMO rim tapes highlight boring wheels, and from a more practical standpoint, they are the only reflective material that a motorbike has from a side-on view, so there's the safety aspect as well.
