This kit with wheel stripes looks pretty cool.

Agreed! Being able to highlight how fast those tiny wheels are spinning will make you look that much faster, I dig it.

May I ask what it cost to make the switch to Red? I want to go green, but my 2018 Grey has a 'ding' on the right side.

Failing a bodywork trade, cost is about $250 using the free shipping code at cheapcycleparts.com.

Zaph said sale... thought maybe he was able to pick up what he needs for less than that.

 

[Ando]

Ah, my apologies, must have missed that. At least you have a worst case cost ;]

Red plastics should be arriving today! No more looking like christmas at the kart track.

$309. (about $100 more if you buy the raised Z and the decals)

Interested in a full package of like new green at reduced cost? Contact me before I put it on ebay.

PMed.

Can't see this image for some reason... Anyone else? I think my CSS editing is coming back to bite me. =/

Sometimes images hosted off site on a non ssl servers don't show up. And that's most of the images I post on forums, unfortunately. I'm not sure if this forum supports uploads but I'll try it.

Hah, nice! In my head it was a photo of a trailer with a red Duc and a green Z, but that's even more goofy. Looks like a blast. Thanks for reposting.

I've had more goofy formatting/photo/attachment issues on this forum than any other. Seems perfectly fine for browsing but I can't post media to save my life some days. *shrug*

Got the green off and got the red mounted.

Going to try some white highlights on the red.

I'll throw the green set on ebay.

 

[crakerjac]

I like that! Even better WITHOUT the raised 'Z' logo.

Surprised they let you run with signals mounted and headlight bare. It's all plastic so not a big deal in a crash, but I'd have to tape all that stuff on mine. Why I went with the "flush mount" signals on the front.

The rear stuff comes off easily and sheds weight, so that's my plan for the rear.

He's got a point. The stealth is nice and there isn't a lot of real estate to begin with.

Besides, people either know what it is or they are helpless. I've had more than one person ask me "what is that?" despite looking directly at the decals and badges that say "Kawasaki Z 125 Pro" verbatim, in that order. -_-

I like that red more and more every time I see it.

Nobody cares at any of the the kart tracks I go to. Taping headlights is something invented in the 80's with glass headlights and still propagated today by track day orgs who enjoy making useless rules. At least I unplugged the lights, hahah.

The guy running the track sat in the shade next to the front straight and I passed him 120 times with no objections.

There's a guy on another forum I'm on with a 3D printer who offered to make me a set of low profile small led mounts. He was going to do it for free as long as I designed them. (I have Autodesk Inventor) I lack the time however so I never got around to it. Still may do it someday.

Sold the whole green set on ebay yesterday... packed it all up well. Didn't weight much at all, 9 lbs. But the box was huge. And because of that, shipping cost $50! **** and I did free shipping too. With all the paypal and ebay fees on top I didn't make much money.

When I ordered my red plastics from Cheapcycleparts, the box was even bigger, and they had the free shipping over $99 deal. I wonder how they can even pull that off and make a profit.

 

[Ando]

Ugh, I know the feeling. I've got a couple larger items collecting dust in my basement that I could pretty easily sell on a VW forum... but it's just not worth the hassle for the $20 of profit I would make after shipping.

I'm surprised Crakerjac didn't take them to be honest. Owell, enjoy the red bike! Be sure to update us when the master plan comes together.

Dude red looks sweet. I need to second the 'like' of the stealth look. Niiiice.

I really wanted to... but I'm saving for a BBK.... and the new orange has me all hot and bothered.
