This needs to be emphasized: GET THE CORRECT PIN FOR THE ZX 14 OR YOU WILL END UP LIKE MINE: SMASHED RADIATOR WHEN THE PIN POPS OUT!
I tried removing the front fender for clearance, since the pin in the universal kit physically fit the hole. I didnt know the 14 pin was offset... when I started lifting the bike, the stand came up against the front fairing under the head light popping the pin out and straight into my radiator. I got lucky, just smashed some fins and bent 2 coolant lines. I got lucky, some here have punctured there radiators. I think the 14 is the only bike with such a low front fairing...

Jeez go figure. Ask them for the 'correct pin for a 2006 zx14' then. Sometimes the sales reps are completely clueless about there products applications. I call it the "Schucks syndrome" (Kragen to you southerners).
