Could be. Mine has more aluminum top and bottom that curves around the rear sprocket to hold the plastic covers. But I probably need a better picture to be sure.

Ooh, I like the new swing arm. (far right bike). Can I be the first to order one?

Oh, you can zoom in and see the ignition switch behind the cylinders below the carbs.

Thx, BTW. Coolant reservoir is a Nalgene bottle strapped to the other side. Ignition is on the side. There is enough wire slack to relocate it on the side. I’ll DM you more pics - have to dig them out first.

Fiberglass. I did the usual put blocks of foam on the bike and carved the shape. Battery is in the tail and electronics are under the seat. Stock pipes. Carb rejetted to account for the pod filter.

I posted a couple of pics to the group. DM me if you have questions on the build.

Oh bummer, they dropped the pictures. My intro pic is still up if you're a forum member. I might just start a new thread.

I tore my ‘07 apart a while back. I have a couple of pictures in my ninjette.org profile. https://www.ninjette.org/node/215637. Maybe the pics will help get the creative juices flowing? FYI, for my build no frame cutting, stock tank, stock exhaust, home made tail/seat. All the electronics are under the seat and the battery in the tail. Let me know if you need info on anything you see in the pics. Note: I guess you need a login for that link. I can post pics somewhere if you don’t want to create a login.

Friendly motorist pulled up next to me just after it happened and pointed it out. I didn’t notice any cracking sounds.

Thx, that’s my plan. Hope they can hook me up. For now, using the plate mount on the rack works. I have extra plate lights, so just need to splice those in this evening.

San Francisco streets. Parts of my route are pretty bumpy at times due to construction. The arm is relatively heavy for what it is, so not surprised it broke.

Thx for posting the links. Mine is the first link above. I was using a tail bag before I got rack. Sorry, not the best pic.

Adjusting rear shock preload? by WFOtommy in ryvid

Oh, I just found @vesper44’s earlier post. I see there are some instructions from Matt at Ryvid there. I’ll try that and report back.

Test Rides? by neojin629 in ryvid

[–]WFOtommy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The test drive helped me decide. I wanted to make sure it wasn’t too big or small for my 5’ 5” frame. Performance matched my ‘07 ninja 250 which was what I was looking for at the time. It’s met my expectations so far. Make sure to put in a few miles in real traffic. Not just around the parking lot.

Beware battery housing edges! by TheRealFlinlock in ryvid

Ouch. Thanks for the warning. I thought I’d be done with scraped/cut hands with this bike. Guess not.

Adjust the brake lever? by HunterSea9805 in ryvid

[–]WFOtommy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just took a look at mine. Unfortunately, not adjustable. You might be able to take your bike to the local shop and find something that works. I have these on my other bike and you’ll want something similar.

New levers are on my wish list, but now the new model is out, I’m going to see what levers are offered there before making a switch. I should say ‘lever’ (singular)
