Put yourself in Smokins shoes, he ordered a new swingarm that he can't use, he orders a new airshifter he can't use, he had plans last week to race weds, night so he is a little upset. Matt did try and resolve the issue.

Thanks Wee .. I waited on Matt for the air shifter because he was busy filling a big order .. No problem i waited..Once it got here i spent days trying to get it to work ..Swing arm came in less all the parts needed to install it .. So in a mad rush used extenions i didn't want to use .. I have a lot of things to test on the bike and a small window to do it ..Venders are pushing me for numbers and testing..
Yes Matt made good and i thanked him for it..

If all goes well next Weds night .. It will be at 64 inches air shifted ( fingers crossed ) .. I can't put the Evil arm on till all the parts get here they didn't send with the arm .. After that i will need two new master links to add the chain back i cut to get 64 inches .. All said and done i want to be at 66 inches with the new arm ..
Brock Alien head 2 and a mapped zx10 P/C will be next on the list to test at the strip ..

I thought the alien head didn't make good power on the gen 1, can they improve it enough to make good power on a monster 1441?

The Alien head 2 is all new as will be the front half of the smeg ( head pipe ).. Brocks stainless line is getting up graded for the 2012 ZX14R .. At this point i don't know for sure what Brock is sending me ( Smeg or Alien head ) I told him to send me whatever makes the best power .. He knows i like the smeg because i burnt my foot and shoes on the Alien head .. Brock feels the power is in the head pipe and not much if any difference in what style muffler is hooked to the end of the pipe ..

So someone that already has the Gen I smeg all they would need is the upgraded head pipe for the 14R?
I was thinking of selling my smeg full system(0miles/30min of run time) but if this is the case i well def reconsider.

I'm not sure Brock will be doing that up grade of just the head pipe to retrofit the gen 1 pipe .. When i talked to him he said selling up graded parts was to much work and too many parts to stock for his small staff to handle .. I could be wrong but that is what i recalled when i talked with him last week .. Best to give Brock or EJ a call and find out for sure before you do anything ..
