I am about to get a 2005 Ninja 250 with less than 800 miles on it from my soon to be father-in-law and I am looking at doing a few custom touches to it. He is giving me the bike for free (well, not really for free, I am doing some painting for him) so I want to put a little in it to make it different than the other bikes out there. I own a body shop so I plan on repainting it and putting an LED tail light on it for starters. I was wanting to replace the rear fairing pieces with a one piece racing fairing but I haven't been able to find one. Does anyone know where I could get one? I have already found new turn signals for it. And I am looking at trying to put Diablo M3 style automotive mirrors on it because they have the turn signals built in so I would be able to eliminate the front turn signals. Also, can someone suggest a good place to find a jacket that I can wear during the summer while I am riding? I prefer a jacket that come with the padding installed. I am trying not to spend $150 or more on the jacket if possible, but I know you can't put a price on safety. I work on a military post so I have to have a jacket on while I am driving to work to my other job.

Thanks,
Ben
