The Ninja 250 is a very good bike to convert. Light weight, good brakes and shocks, plentiful parts on ebay, fairing to hide everything. 1/09 Changed the Mars 709 motor to the Agni #95R reinforced. 4/8/11 Changed out the AGM's for Calb Lifepo4's...lost 70lbs and doubled range. 7/15 changed the Calbs for 11 Leaf modules and Alltrax controller |
