New guy, new bike, new parts
Hey crew- I'm Johnny, this is my first post here. I just bought an '08 ZX-14 (Blue Sparkles!) and have been having a blast with it. It's Retard-Fast! I pulled the rear fender off today, and just ordered a Power Commander and a Muzzy M10 exhaust. Like I need MORE power, right?!? Seems like every time I crack the throttle on this thing it wants to stand straight up in the air. (Only my old FrankenDucati was harder to keep down!) I'm guessing that a stretch and lowering wont be long off..
A few quick questions: How loud is the M10? How much of a PITA is setting up the Power Commander? And tradeoffs in driveability with this setup?
Also, are the swingarm extensions I see any good, or do they suck? I got a price for a +6" swingarm (in Black) for like $1600 *plus* a lowering link, chain, brake hose and whatever else is needed... 2-Large and I'd have to install it myself. Sure makes those cheap extensions look good. Are they stupid?
Thanks in advance,
Cheers,
Johnny

just stay away from twisties... stock arm was never designed for the extra leverage...
