New member from Australia, advice needed.
Hi there from OZ. I posted a little while ago, but only got a big Zzzzzzzz !
I finally got my dream bike (a few months ago) 07 Diablo Black ZX14. This is the first brand new bike I've owned in 25 years (yeah, I'm an ald fart) , and I'm loving the hell out of it.
I'd like to get hold of some alternative PCIII maps to try, for cruising economy, which still have some mid to top end grunt without getting too rich, if anyone has tweaked or dyno'd a similar map for a standard bike, with flies pulled.
I'd also like to paint the top air intake covers and side grilles with the same Diablo Black, with the fins painted chrome or silver. Has anyone got any thoughts or advice about doing this?
Mods done so far: Mirror polished exhausts, wheels & heel plates. Modified rear fender & self made tail tidy. Helibar risers, Scorpio alarm, PCIII, flies removed, Zero gravity DB screen, Magknight tank bra, polished Throttlemeisters, and Ventura rack.

Nobody here has maps for fuel economy dude. The 14 is all about power. Power is made by burning fuel.
If your on a long highway trip slot it into 6th and cruise. You will get decent mileage. If you want economy buy a scooter.
Nice looking ride.

I have a nice map for the way your bike is set up. Not sure how it does on fuel economy though as I haven't tried it long distance. PM me and I'll send it if you want. I gues the best solution for painting the side panels would be to paint them black, mark out the areas you want chromed and paint with a nice silver or gold and clear coat the crap out of the panel. Talk to your local painters and see what theyythink. Where in Australia are you? I'm in Perth WA

You might just try some silver pinstripe tape on the fins if you like this look:

Thanks for the welcome guys. Does anyone know what the paint code is for an exact match on the Diablo Black?
