Tiger Racing Needs a ZX14 If you live in the N.W. Ohio or S.E. Michigan areas and would like to have FREE Tiger Racing products for your ZX14, then we need to hear from you.
I'm looking for someone who can let us use your bike as a model for measuring up and designing new products for the ZX14 for a week or so. We can pick up and deliver in an enclosed trailer if you wish (providing you are some what close to Toledo, OH).
If you can do this, you will receive FREE, every product that we will ever make for the ZX14 and become a lifetime sponsored bike by Tiger Racing.

We need a lower rear cowling that removes the hole on the left when running 4-1 exhaust!
Powder coated black, or molded black plastic, also, make sure it fits with adjustable rear lowering links. Mine will not fit with adjustable links, and looks like shit with 4-1 exhaust anyway!
We also need a radiator screen, as a small pebble has already holed mine once.
LOCUSTS and such will damage the rad, it is vulnerable!
A rear seat cowl with smaller hump would be nice too, the stocker looks like a big whale hump, especiallly without stock cans back there, it looks bulky, compared to the seat alone.
Thanks!

Lower cowling - If you can make a product that replaces the lower rear cowling taking into consideration stock pipe is missing on the left I'll pull the trigger on a purchase (immediately). On the left side the bike looks like crap with a gaping hole missing, or with the cowling removed. Help us consumers! If you notice, most post pics of the RIGHT side of the bike unless its stock. Thats because the left side looks appalling IMHO. And anything except billet.
Rear seat cowl- I agree with the above and would like to add if you can invent a means to snap the rear seat cover on and off without screws, I'll purchase one immediately.
Great to see more folks wanting to make entry into the ZX14 market!

I don't know about you guys, but its embarrassing when a lady asks for a ride at a restaurant and such and I have to get the tools out for the rear seat cover. I try to quell the situation with a snide comment such as "well my mechanic isn't here, lets see what we can do about the seat cover first"
Maybe a miniature aircan tool to zap them off would be less profound the for spur-of-the-moment task!
But when she's uhmmmm...not one i may want to give a ride to it works in my favor "sweetie i didn't bring anything to get the rear seat cover off" hehe

Is richmond IN close enough? Kind of hard to just let somebody take off with your bike.

You said close by, my bike in Tampa prolly doesn't meet your criteria. Hopefully the ZX14's will be lined up at your door!
Or maybe you would be interested in mimicking your competitors and purchase a 14 (or 2). You wouldn't regret it anyway. Then again, Kawasaki GAVE Roaring Toys of Sarasota two ZX14's. Now thats a sweet deal.
Speaking of them, I need to ride down there and pick up a strap and their lowering links.

I understand the feeling but trust me, Guy is a stand up person that turns out quality products. His customer service is second to none.
He currently holds the fastest LSR nitrous record in the country and is a dedicated enthusiast.
It's a smoking deal for somebody for sure!

Thanks to all who have offered us your prized posession. We have found a couple of ZX14's to use for measuriung purposes. We are designng a new inner fender to lower the 14 to the ground and other great new products.
We already offer both a stock and an extended chain guard for the ZX14 and they are becoming quite popular.
You can always contact me at my website

Thanks again to everyone and keep those suggestions coming for new products.

colored seat cover for the blues and reds. I'm looking at buying a corbin if they can make it look like it still has the red cowl on it. No, not race oriented, but the banana seat is kinda lame.
A dragseat too.
Powdercoated predrilled buell pegs.
Powdercoated rear pegs, brake pedal, and shifter.
And like other have already said, something to make the left side look better after jettisoning the dual exhaust.
Powdercoated adjustable kickstand.
The billet products are not my cup o' tea...but I guess thats obvious.
