300 will slow you down so don't expect to keep up with the crowd when riding and don't expect them to wait around for you either. As for racing, you can hang that one up. I got word from home a 14 with 300mm tire kit got left 12 bikes by a 02' busa. That just shows you how much performance you are losing. He felt so confident that the big tire and bigger bike would give him the edge. He did'nt realize the power loss in the jackshaft and weight was a draw back. So with that being said do you even want the trouble of slowing down your bike and the maintenance is going to get on your nerves too.

Just put a Avon AV60 Viper Sport 200 on it and be done with it. The tire looks great & you probably won't notice much, if any loss in performance.

Right! 200mm is about the largest tire you could go with without having trouble.

Shinko tires look wide also because of the profile.I had a 190 avon on back and switched to a shinko,mainly for more traction and it actually looks wider.

ZX14 300 Tire

So you know. The 300 rear end conversion does take away a lot of power and handling. The purpose is not for performance and the average customer who buys the 300 kits from us does not mind the performance loss one bit. The average customer who buys one probably won't use 1/3 of what the bike is really capable of. In fact most of the guy's doing these conversions are coming off choppers and are thrilled with the performance,handling and reliability these bikes have to offer. We are always honest with the customer and tell them up front exactly what they are getting into with all of our products. Also to lets you guy's know I am the owner of Roaring Toyz and have been roadracing as a professional in AMA,CCS,WERA,FORMULA USA,MOTO-ST,AHRMA and several other series for over 12 years and know exactly how to set up and make a bike perform. Our head mechanic has built some of the fastest streetbike motors at the Prostar dragraces and we build some VERY fast bikes as well. What each customer likes to do with their bikes for set up is entirly up to them and we will give them the best advice on how to accomplish their goals. If they want more look,more performance,more handling we will give them what they want. We are very well rounded and understand how to deliver to a customer exactly what they are looking for.
