New Mods Available
Check out helbars.com and you'll see an easy to install riser for the handlebars. Mine will arrive Monday and I will see how comfortable the position is for longer distances. The great news is that they are a quick install which means I can leave them off for every day rides and install them for touring.
Also, I know Corbin has picked up a bike and is working on stuff for the bike. Personally I ilike the harder foam in the Corbin seats.
Also, first mod was to remove rear fender. Talked to Competition Werkes and they have a prototype fender eliminator already. Final production is just a few weeks away.
RKA Bags has a great tank bag and rear seat bag that fits securely,has a low profile and has ample expansion. Ask for Richard and reference the ZX-14 he fitted at the recent 49er BMW rally in Auburn, CA.
Also, I am a Two Bros. fan. (twobros.com) They make very good quality exhaus systems and have just released slip-ons for the zx14. I ordered a set of high-temp carbon fiber. I didn't feel the need to replace the full system as the weight savings for me is not critical and there is no/very little performance difference between slip-ons and full system.
I will post pictures of the mods as they occur.

Hey Boom Boom, you don't need the fender eliminator kit. Just a couple of L brackets and a light and you're good to go.

Hey, if someone is making a seat with Closed cell foam that would be awesome - I use the stuff for my helmet - Feels great and no "hot spots".

Really, no difference in power!
