Glenn's '14
Attached are some pictures of a fellow '14 owners bike. This is the bike I was refering to when I posted my questions regarding 1/4 mile gearing last week. This is a very nicely set up bike.
The silver bikes really are a nice colour option.....................maybe the US will get this colour option next year.

Is it just me, or is the bike all jacked up high or stock in the rear?

Steve. that happens because of the extended swingarm. There is a natural downward angle on the swingarm, when you extend it the extra length raises the back end of the bike.

ok thanks, I jthought bikes are lowered when the long swignarm goes on, at least the folks around here ride 'em low when they are strecthed. I do the round track I'm unfamiliar with the drag strip stuff - forgive me :P

If you lower the bike you may want to pay attention to the clearance on the bottle. I like to have the bottle right side up also but ended up flipping it so I could get the rear end down. I have talked to a few guys that have notched the undertail out to allow for an upright bottle.
