Hi all, I'm Bradley. Just bought my first ninja 250, its a 2002. I'm not new to bikes, but i'm new to the "project" bike. Picked this one up pretty cheap and it needs a few things. So if anyone knows of good sites or anyone on here has some of these things for sale let me know. Bought the bike w/ 6k on it. Its been dropped.....so the left bar is slightly bent (toucht the tank), fairings are cracked are broken in places (if you have a set for sale let me know the price), and i have no idea what the previous owner did to the tank (first one painted it w/ road striping paint, 2nd owner didn't sand it down and just painted over that w/ some rattlecan flat black)......any ideas on how to remove this crap would help. Also, any ideas on what kind of (cheap) paint to use once i do get it off? But over all, i'm pretty happy w/ the bike, its a running project.....although right now its a naked bike but i need to pick up some turn signals for it to be "street" legal.

hi there,
good luck with the project bike. I know someone who turned this model into a cafe' racer. it was ok but he wanted a R1 anyway.
