My Ninja is supposed to be stock.
Since I bought the Ninja 650, I've replaced and installed a few parts. The policy is"Of the parts that manufacturers have given up due to cost issues, we will give priority to souping up the parts that are directly related to driving, turning, and stopping with peace of mind."it is.
- LED headlights for both eyes
- Front brake radial brake mastering
- Changed the brake hose to stainless mesh.
- Installed OHLINS front and rear suspension.
- Installed grip heater for winter tour
- Introduction of L-type valve for easy air check at gas stations
- Larger rear fenders that do not protect against mud splashes
- Long-stay Napoleon mirrors ensure rearward visibility.
- Side stand end installed for side stands that bite into the asphalt in midsummer.
That's the main part.
At the time, the car was a reimport by Bright and was not sold officially in Japan. There was no JMCA compliant external muffler for my minor model, and fenderless mufflers were a nuisance in the rain. So there is nothing more to do with the Ninja 650.... So I think there's nothing more I can do to the Ninja 650.
And I usually think about it a little bit."This is a parts replacement, not a customization, right?"And that's it.
So I am.
"This Ninja 650 is a stock bike, right?"I think.
Customization I think. Of course it's wrong, but.
No, I know it's wrong. I am well aware that in the public mind, these vehicles are called custom cars.
Used cars only have ETC... or a slider... or an external muffler... The dictionary defines it as
According to the dictionary, the definition is as follows
［name］(suru)《 Also known as "customization."》
To modify an existing product or other item to make it more to your liking.
"Customize your accounting system."

It's just that... I don't know."one's own personal computer"I felt the same way when he said, "You just buy the parts and put them on," and I thought, "That's mass customization in marketing, and there's no craftsmanship or individual ingenuity. ..." I thought.
I don't know... I think."Customize"This means trial and error, adjustment, failure... It's a possibility.
I want to customize my GSX-S1000.
This time, I bought a used car on impulse, and it had some cool sliders.
Even in the store guide."This is where the customization is done."But to me, it's not a customization, it's just an additional part.
However, there are a lot of parts I want other than sliders, so I've been making a list of parts I want to wear. If I buy all of them, the price will be over 800,000 yen, so I have a stupid list.
Of course, I'm not wealthy enough to buy everything."Boy Mode who wants a trumpet"I'm just dreaming in..."The idea of round eyes was the reason why I bought the GSX-S1000, which I was not really into the design in the first place."is for me."This is custom!"So I would like to make it happen.
I forgot about that.
Well, as I was writing this blog, I was thinking, "Three years since I switched to the Ninja 650..." But then I realized that it's been three years.
"You're inspecting the car this year, aren't you?"
So even though it was 4:00 a.m., I went to the parking lot and looked at the license plate....
It's this month.
Is it because of the Corona? There was no information from the store where I bought it, and fortunately now the grace period has been extended until July, including the liability. I'll have to get it inspected as soon as possible.
By the way, I've got a screen for my Ninja 650 lying around in my room that I bought during the self-restraint period... I'll have to put these on too.
