I shall now strive for my Ex to look like this beast. You have inspired me.. After long, and vigorous searching to no avail.. I have found the golden egg.. She looks absolutely beautiful!
That is seriously one of the best 500R streetfighter jobs I've ever seen... I have an '06 ZX-6R 636 that I'm rebuilding after a year of owning it, and my lady is getting a 500R, and I'll probably pick up a 500R so I don't beat my 636 to death again, but I'm gonna do a streetfighter style with my 500R, just because the 500R is so ugly to begin with.
@MrHaterplease I HAVE FOUND IT. THE MX PLASTIC USED TO COVER THE TOP/FRONT/SIDE IS CALLED: Kawasaki KX85/100 98-00 Radiator Scoop Motox BLACK UFO Im buying mine today! woooo thanks!
absolutly the BEST tuning on this motorbike.I have the same moto, and I'd like to do something close to your moto, I love what you have done!!!!!!!!!!!
It's a VAPOR digital speedo for dirt bikes.It's a great speedo with a backlight for the nigh riding and I got the dashboard for the turnsignal ligh, for neutral and high beam.Very easy to mount with aluminum thin brackets, only the wiring is not that easy but I had a friend doing it.
@jeiwaru Lol that is a realy serious compliment - Thank you! The bike looks a lot better in my imagination but I don't have the skills to make it.That is my first custom bike so next time will put some more effort .
@TheLajswim The paint is the most expensive on the bike - $900.White pearl for the body parts and triple stage candy orange metallic powder coat on the frame and wheels.Other than that $150 for a digital speedo, $100 for headlight and brackets,$40 for side fairings, $100 for custom levers,turn signals and mirrors and another $100 for welding and materials such as the aluminum plate where all the electronics are attached to/under the seat/ and the new details on the frame.
@suicidebunnyz The stock rear fender has been removed and another aluminum platform has been added under the seat.All the electronics has been attached on the platform and hidden under the seat.I saw this idea on another ninja 500 streetfighter on youtube.
@agdmotors Indeed it is a good bike, fun as hell too - most people consider it just a learner bike, but even people who have more advanced bikes, such as myself, enjoy the hell out of it.
The best gauges for this bike is TrailTech Vapor with dash because they are sold separately.It gives you plenty information for the RPM's, speed, neutral light, low and high beam and has a backlight for night riding. Its' a dirt bike gauge but works perfect, easy to install and very compact. I paid $150 for it brand new. The wire tucking is not my idea I have to give the credit to "oldchevy4x4" wich is genious I think as well.
Hi, they are stock. I remember there was a little missalighment there, but I did tight them really well and didn't have a problem. That was the only thing that was a little odd. I am sorry I totally forgot to mention that since I have changed 3 bikes after the ninja 500.
@93maximaguy I have a friend with a motorcycle shop and he just gave it to me, but you should be able to find them on e-bay or other site for dirt bike parts.May be Rocky mountain, Bikebandit or Motorcycle superstore.
@DasPenguin85 Thats what I bought it for - learning.It's my first bike and that is in my friend's motorcycle shop he helped me building it.Hope it will keep my interest for long.I realy enjoy it for now :)Post some videos of yours when it's done.It will be interesting to see different ideas.
They did fit fine after precise mesurement, but there was no more space for enything else, if I had a couple of more components to fit there I wouldn't be able to.
I have removed all the wiring from the frame, then shaved all unnecessary brackets, then welded 2 pieces on the each side steel with the same profile and size as the frame to make the triangle look. All the wiring and components from the frame are laying on a aluminum plate under the seat now. You will need some precise measurement there because there is not much space :)
Its a 35mm stock fork.The mounts are universal aluminum T-6, but they were too long so I had to modify them a bit - they were designed for a Harley Davidson type of headlight I think.
I love everything about it man! I've got a few questions for you though: 1) the side fairings... AWESOME!!! Did you make them yourself? (they kind of look like something off a dirt bike... either way, when I streetfighter my ninja... I want to do that) 2) what head light / front fairing is that?
Thanks a lot dude! The handle bar clamps the mirror goes on..can you give a link to me of the item? I'm assuming with the handle bar clamp you can then fit any "universal" mirror like the koso on there. Thanks!
The only thing I have noticed is that the bike didn't have a realy good handling on a strong winds and became very sensitive to them.I think because of the side panels and that the front end is a bit lighter, other than that is the same bike
I didn't do any special mods. My goal was to keep it as stock as possible with the look of a custom bike. What I recommend is to strip the bike off and use your own imagination + some other ideas. Make some detailed pictures and notes to remember which part where is coming from, because putting it back together is not the easiest thing. Watch a lots of pictures of other stock bikes to see if you can use something to make it interesting. I would put a Ducati monster seat if I do it now :))
@TheLajswim I have sold the whole front end and rear side fairings on e-bay for $400, so basicly if I haven't painted the bike it Would've cost me almost nothing, but I've put a lots of work on it:)
@konfutsi30 Nope, that is "KOSO -North America" they produce digital speedometers wich I got for my Ninja. but "VAPOR" are much better much easier to install and much cheaper.
Yes it is not possible but I have used the half clamps.Check the link in the description of the video, because I couldn't post it in the comment window. Just make sure you get the right size.They dont exactly fit, but I made them work and also you can get from kawasaki as well I believe
@MoAoX I would like to know this as well. I have been try'n to find a good substitute for the entire front/top farring. these look fantastic. what are they?
I just got a 500r with some street fighter mods too it. I was curious as to where u found the side and bottom fairings on the front. Right now the radiator is open and I would like a little coverage. Also what is the best way to strip down to the frame I would like mine blue.
Hey, I saw your build on a forum at some point in time... I cannot find those posts for the life of me. Do you by any chance still have your build posted somewhere?? You had some terrific ideas for this
hi, I'm interested in the front forks, clocks, handlebars! can you send me more pictures of motorcycle kawasaki myself because I like to make my one and I need advice. Thanks
I have used the existing ones from the tank and the existing holes on the radiator and added some aluminum brackets.DO NOT DRILL THE FRAME OF THE BIKE - NEVER DO THAT.
I shall now strive for my Ex to look like this beast.

Sick music and camera pans, really put me in awe of the bikes overall appearance..
The bottom fairing is factory and the sides are dirtbike radiator shrouds, though I'm not yet sure what they came from.

WOW!! That's fucking unbelievable, dude. Great work. That's a hell of a project. The finish looks great!!!
That's just sick man, i plan to transform my Kawasaki into a streetfighter too
@jeiwaru Lol that is a realy serious compliment - Thank you! The bike looks a lot better in my imagination but I don't have the skills to make it.That is my first custom bike so next time will put some more effort .
That's a sick looking bike. Great job!
Holy shit. This is art.
i usually cant stand the sound of a Cummins but damn that was badass

really nice! kawasaki should be paying you for that design lol. Looks like a brand-new, modern bike!
That thing looks SICK

@slonopochron3000 It is called "Quantum Sungularity" by Romolo Di Prisco from the "Need for Speed High Stakes" soundtrack
Hey, do you remember which particular dirtbike shrouds you used? Cheers
@93maximaguy I have a friend with a motorcycle shop and he just gave it to me, but you should be able to find them on e-bay or other site for dirt bike parts.May be Rocky mountain, Bikebandit or Motorcycle superstore.
Thanks man, looks great.
what are the dirt bike plastics off of? great look. very impressive.

God dang that is one sexy bike.

was that a need for speed soundtrack at the begining ? sounds like something from porsche unleashed
How did you attach the fairings? Did you weld the attachment points onto the frame, or you used existing ones?
Thank you!
I heve used the original from the tank the front brackets were hand made connected to the radiator ears
I took off the whole front end and sold it on e-bay.Than started mounting the new parts straight on the forks with brackets and everything.
universal headlight mount but I had to shorten them half the size.The fairings are from 2000 KX80 or 100 dirt bike - Kawi as well
where can I get the plastics on the sides those are dope I'm doin the same bike I want a similar look plz help
mega late reply, but they look exactly like ttr 125 side plastics lmap
I may be getting an '05 500R.... any chance you guys live on the West Coast and are up for customizing another one? : D
Thanks a lot dude! The handle bar clamps the mirror goes on..can you give a link to me of the item? I'm assuming with the handle bar clamp you can then fit any "universal" mirror like the koso on there. Thanks!
The only thing I have noticed is that the bike didn't have a realy good handling on a strong winds and became very sensitive to them.I think because of the side panels and that the front end is a bit lighter, other than that is
the same bike

Watch a lots of pictures of other stock bikes to see if you can use something to make it interesting. I would put a Ducati monster seat if I do it now :))
Where did you get the plastics to go below the gas tank, or did you fabricate them?
@TheLajswim I have sold the whole front end and rear side fairings on e-bay for $400, so basicly if I haven't painted the bike it Would've cost me almost nothing, but I've put a lots of work on it:)
@konfutsi30 Nope, that is "KOSO -North America" they produce digital speedometers wich I got for my Ninja. but "VAPOR" are much better much easier to install and much cheaper.
Thank you the original plan was to move the left exhaust on the top of the right like Ducati and to put dirt bike handlebars, but limited budget.
They are attached to 3 points. 2 to the old fairing bracket on the frame and 1 to the radiator with extended bracket that I made.
@agdmotors where did you get both sides? I can only find the right had side one
awesome job....
Thanks.They are from 2000 Kawasaki kx80 dirt bike :)
It looks good, like ER6n. You should have chopped the tail IMO.
I have an ex500 too....
What is the mirrors you're using? Where do they mount? Please let me know!
im wanting to do the same thing, are those dirtbike fenders off of the gas tank? if so what did you use?
i would turn it into a single seater and chop off the passenger supports from the frame, it would look way better, nice colors looks like a ktm
Where did you put all the electrical stuff on the side of the bike?
What exactly did you do to the frame itself? also what did you do with all of the wiring and whatnot at the rear end of the bike? It looks amazing
Yes it is not possible but I have used the half clamps.Check the link in the description of the video, because I couldn't post it in the comment window.
Just make sure you get the right size.They dont exactly fit, but I made them work and also you can get from kawasaki as well I believe
I would like to duplicate the light like you did! What is that casing called and where can I get one?
@MoAoX I would like to know this as well. I have been try'n to find a good substitute for the entire front/top farring. these look fantastic. what are they?
this turned out really nice, congrats. question: what's the first track in this video?
I just got a 500r with some street fighter mods too it. I was curious as to where u found the side and bottom fairings on the front. Right now the radiator is open and I would like a little coverage. Also what is the best way to strip down to the frame I would like mine blue.
What mirrors did you use and where did you get them? Looks awesome! I hate the bar end mirrors, this looks so much better.
Hey, I saw your build on a forum at some point in time... I cannot find those posts for the life of me. Do you by any chance still have your build posted somewhere?? You had some terrific ideas for this
@realtaberz1992 I dont know how its called but Its made in Hong Kong and I bought it from ebay - streetfighter headligh, $66 :)
The plastics are from 98-2000 klx 80 or 100 dirt bike and I made ears from piece of metal from home depot
Thanks the original project was to move the left exhaust over the right on one side only, but limited budget - would've been nicer
ok thanks. how did you attach those side panels btw they look great
Good looking bike, where did you get the side fairings from?
How did you attatch the KX 80/100 fairing to the bike?
Hey man, are your handlebars and clutch perches stock? I ordered one of the mirror mount clutch perches from the link above and it is too small.
@DasPenguin85 Thank you!It is ugly as hell I couldn't watch it anymore like that thats the reason I've put some work on it :)It's a good bike though.
@rawjhaw It's a Las Vegas edition :)
you get a like just for the music from Need for Speed High stakes xD
They are dirt bike radiator shrouds
hi, I'm interested in the front forks, clocks, handlebars! can you send me more pictures of motorcycle kawasaki myself because I like to make my one and I need advice. Thanks
$900 paint & powder coating job and another $400 for parts.But I have sold the ones that I don't need for $500.The labor is mine.
uh, looking at my ninja 500 again...how is it possible to get clamps on there? man looks like there's no space on the handle bar!
dude this is awesome. what headlight is it?
what is the front faring? i cant find it any where
I have looked everywhere I can't find fairings like that for my ex500. I see they're koso but where?? please lol im not the only one who wants to know
where did you get the after market body kit?
Where did you get that upper cowling piece?
I think the bike looks excellent overall, but the back part where the orange frame meets the ugly banana seat looks very awkward.
Streetfighter headlight from ebay. Made in Hong Kong $60.
@agdmotors ohh ok, thanks!
Need For Speed High Stakes but I dont know where to download it
Romolo is the best composer of trance music
Ducati style universal mirrors with "Moose racing" handlebar clamps
Is the inner fender still used? Or did you remove it?
what are them front side panels off
Got info on the fairings and where you go them?
they look really similar to KX65 or KX450 shrouds
Thanks :)
I was planning to use from Z1000, but they are expensive, this one is $60
how much of a budget bro ??
What headlight did you use??
@minirickbobber 2000 Kawasaki kx80 - dirt bike
I have used the existing ones from the tank and the existing holes on the radiator and added some aluminum brackets.DO NOT DRILL THE FRAME OF THE BIKE - NEVER DO THAT.
"Koso" ducati style universal mirrors from e- bay
Hey, would also love to see the forum write up of the build! If you could direct me to it i would appreciate it!
It was a ninja 500 forum I think. That was a long time ago and this was my first bike
gotcha, i actually just got rid of mine. but man, still a great job!
