My ZX-14 finally completed !
Got to go out on another shake down run ! I'll make a couple minor
adjustments on the forks (pre-load & comp. dampning) but man did it
feel good. I was taking it kinda easy scrubbing the new tires, but i'll
tell ya the bike goes faster without even trying - handeling wise !
And with the ATP kit ...... well, there's plenty of power there .. 8)
Here's a few pics I shot out on my ride today.
The bike is a true performer - I hope "I" can keep up :!:

Bob, That is SWEET!!!
The gold wheels really set it off, as does the "external air filter"!!!
Is the Blue one next?

Thanks guys ..... there's alot of work there. I think fitting the front end, the machining and
CNC work done was the most tedious thing on the bike. So its the "Rock Store" Easter
Sunday ride for me.
and ....... as for the "Blue one"

bob, inquiring minds must know:
what kind of front fender is that?
are there any plans to upgrade the rotors and calipers?
is your suspension set up for road racing? did you get ohlins for the rear?
and, lastly... are the forks and wheels really worth the $$$?

The front fender is 06 - ZX10. I allways thought the 14 had a much to big front fender
so this was the time to change it. As for the brakes - the stockers are real good. I
might swap out rotors some day, but I doubt i'll do anything with the calipers.
Ohlins suspension is fantastic - I had the gold valves installed in the front, and the
rear shock has the remote compression and rebound dampning on the pass. peg
brackets ..... It may be a little overboard for the street - but why make it faster than it
can handle !!

Very nice!
I'm green with envy!
You had to machine the stock tripple clamps, and clip ons I take it?
I agree, I like the zx10 fender too.
I would love to do it, and some day i might, with a 4-5 month riding season and beat up roads, where your bike gets sand blasted and pounded...
How much sense would it make....
Love the bike Bob!
Really nice!

Wander if that turbo would scrape easily around a fast turn by sticking out like that?

Spring rate: 57 / 160 / 105 WTF ? but thats what it says,
Carbon wheel are cool - but limited life. Alot of places wont even
mount up a tire for ya. The forged wheels were practical.
