Stroker for the ZX-14
I heard that Falicon has come out with a 5mm stroker for the ZX-14. That was some fast work!
Hope it'll fit in that new Concours as I am getting kind of old..................but still like the power!

Be careful of that falicon crank.
They had some problems with the zx12's,
Maybe they nitride now but did not in the past, might want to check.
APE or MARINE Crankshafts can build you whatever you want and a better product in my opinion.

I have a Falicon crank, purchased through an unnamed company. It wasn't nitrided. After I spun a bearing on about the 8 or 10th run, Marine fixed and nitrided it. It's still good today, after surviving two destroyed motors and a burned up piston (nitrous) with no harm to the crank. They do excellent work at Marine.

Shoot, isn't the stroke long enough already? Sounds like very high piston speeds...

Just kidding about the bike and my age, I'll stick with my 12 as it is and i do agree MC does awsome work on cranks, you can hardly tell they even weld on it............But if they ever stuff that ZX-14 into a ZX-10 frame and used the Concours body work I would be the first to buy.
I am stil impressed at how fast they moved on aftermarket stuff for the 14, as it sure semmed longer for both the 12 and Busa when they first came out.
Those big 1507 Busa's have some good piston speed, but they sure seem to hold together pretty well.
Can't wait to my ride is up and running again.
