Hello! Ninja 250 to a rough XB9SX

Welcome and nice job saving the xb from certain death! You aren't kidding, rough indeed. Best part of getting a beater bike is you don't really have to worry about aesthetics anymore, just get to enjoy riding, and I'm sure you will. Frame damage doesn't look too bad, slap some frame pucks on that thing to cover up the damage and give it a better chance at surviving a drop. Maybe even some front/rear sliders too? ebay blinkers and mirrors will spruce it up a bit while being cheap enough.
And what is that electrical box hanging near the headlights? Was that the low beam module, doesn't look stock, maybe some aftermarket stuff?

Thanks guys
I don't think the pics showed the dent well. I think ill get the pucks and if it doesn't work out ill get it filled. I may also see if there are any other options to protect this area.
Axle sliders are on the list.
I need to read up on adjustable suspension because this bike is super stiff. It will be nice to have an adjustable suspension now.
Took it out with an R1 and FZ1 last night and still couldn't keep up on the turns but I'll get there. They all want to ride it so I may get to ride an R1 soon.
I'm probably going to get the exhaust wrapped to cover that up and keep my eyes open for a new stator cover.
HID low beam is going to be changed back to halogen or maybe LED.
It's definitely not going to be a show bike. Just a mean, ugly and loud beast haha.

Frame pucks are the best and cheapest thing I can think of for the frame. Check the classifieds here or even e-bay for a set.
Since it's been down, pop the seat off and look down at where the passenger peg brackets bolt on. Hopefully your seat rails aren't cracked around them.
I've tried all the lights in those housings and had the best luck with good halogens. YMMV.
It's hot in Texas, I'd get a right side scoop (RSS) or a comfort kit for it. One helps cool the engine, the other cools the engine and your tender bits too. An easy search...
