ninja 500r aftermarket?
Anyone have any idea of where I could find a website that sells aftermarket parts for a kawasaki ninja 500r? (ex: exhaust, Air Filter, Turbo Kits{lol!})

Re: ninja 500r aftermarket?
Ok I have several questions. But first id like to thank yall for the links there very helpful. For the guy who was curious on why i wanted to upgrade a 500r. Well i always like to make the underdogs fast, i do the same with cars and jetski's . And for the guy who is getting a 500r for his first bike, good choice man. But back to the real reason why I am posting again. All the links said 500ex.. now is this any different for parts wise with the 500r? and all the links really only covered exhaust upgrades? (btw how much hp does that ussually add on a bike) I mean what else is there to upgrade on a bike, and could someone give me a website that is all about ninja and probably has more aftermarket parts for a 500r, i tried everywhere..but my main concern is that is a 500r and 500ex compatible?

500r and 500ex are pretty much the same from start to end of the production run. There's small changes but its mostly all the same. Check out http://forums.13x.com/forumdisplay.php?forumid=12 as there's a lot of people that race ex500's. Best bet would be to check out the for sale section and see what parts people are running on their bikes that are for sale.....that or do some searches. There isn't a huge aftermarket for the 500 but most of the racers adapt parts from other bikes to put on their 500's. A lot of the stuff is bolt on and the rest takes a little custom work to get on there. You also might be able to find some parts for sale on there. I hear you guys about the little bikes being a ton of fun. My zx6r is fast and fun but its my third favorite bike to ride after my drz400sm and my neighbor's hawk gt 650. Luckily the 6r is the only one thats good at higher speed commuting, long rides, and 2 up riding or it would have been sold by now
there might be a couple of things on kawiforums.com as well
here's an example of a bike for sale on wera.com. Lots of ideas for things you can do
EX includes:
clear title
97 stock motor w/2700 street miles & 5 race weekends
F3 frontend
ZX-6 polished swingarm
F3 rear wheel w/captive spacers
Fox Twin-clicker shock
braided brake lines
steering damper
CFM rearsets
Pro-Flo clip-ons
DID X-ring chain
new sprockets/extra gearing/spare front discs
Airtech race bodywork
full Muzzy exhaust

Re: ninja 500r aftermarket?
Thanks alot guys, is there like a motorcycle guru that can make turbo kits for any bike? Sort of like how they have Custom Car Care for Nissans and Hondas(brady). Becuase i think it would be so sick to have something different, becuase im sure not alot of guys have a turbo 500r ninja! 2006 BTW thanks for all da help, cant wait to get into the motorcyle crowd this summer yall seem to roll deep with each other, lol
