What's the best method of shipping side panels? They are light but kind of bulky when trying to shove in a box for shipping. Any better suggestions?

I make my own boxes for panels and then double wrap them.

+1 or take them to a shipping center and have them box them up. Not cheap but you know they will be packed right.

First gear is slower on the bottom end, the rest you can hold the RPMs. If you want more low end, I loved my Blast. Low end and strong pull throughout the RPM range. The clutch is not the most forgiving for a first time rider though, entry comp setup.
I have heard that the new 2012 Ninjas are fuel injected opposed to carbureted, but am having trouble finding any solid evidence. You wouldn't happen to know would you?

The 2012 ninja 250r uses 2 cvk30 carbs. The cbr250r is fi.

... :urban: ...thanx for those shares....R/C copters made a big splash....I'm going to take the leap into r/c with a micro plane....amazingly affordable and crash-friendly nowadays.... :thumbwink: ...all of my life I have wanted a plane, having flown line-control as a kid...the r/c hobby was always cost-prohibitive while I was working....technology has went ballistic with r/c and the cost of everything has come way down.... :smile: ....I've flown a few times on flight simulators and I'm ready to get a CHAMP kit for $89, ready to fly....Fortunately, there is a flying field nearby that ranks high with paved runway, clubhouse, pavillion, charging stations...I've already scoped out the group and find a bunch of interesting guys..(no girls.. :cry: )

Anybody know what type of scoot this is? Owner doesn't really know and the picture isn't very revealing to me.

My guess is that it is a mid-grade knock off, maybe a Sundiro. Will the seller give you the VIN to check it?

My recent absence from the board was refreshing. I come backto find this ugumma dude displaying his IQ and going so far as to accuse mousewheels of being a liar. He also pm'ed me with advice about how to best complete my Aero carb swap. What a swell fella....hahahahahahahaha....... :hi:
