Here are some pics taken today. The final fitting of the body work was finished today and is off to paint and upholstery.
The Muzzy pieces installed so far are as follows... M14 Sidewinder...Air shifter ( bottle will be mounted in front of the rear tire...manufacturing the bracket right now )...up & left oil filter relocator with stainless oil filter...Reed valve block off plates.....
The front cowling is stock Kawasaki with headlight holes filled with ABS...the sheet metal area will be padded and covered with leather from front to the rear of the seat area. 2 Quart fuel cell to be located in the battery box area.
That's yellow primer...the body will be gloss black.
I will be posting all of the pics on the website......just didn't want to take up to much space in the forum.
I am looking to be finished by this coming wed - thurs
Let me know what you're thinking or have any questions.
Thanks

I appreciate the comments. Yes BM, it is drag race only. The headlight holes were filled in with ABS and it's just as smooth on the inside as the outside. Chris & Todd @ Astonishing Creations do some amazing work. They took my concept from paper to reality perfectly. We have made a mold of the one off body, anyone interested after seeing the finished product should contact me. Looks like a striking cobra off the bike. Can be removed in less than 10 seconds and with the finished undertail, there is ample room for electonics. We will be running a zx10 front fender. I also have a proprietary cooling system using no radiator. Sounds weird, but in testing, it works and keeps the motor at the correct temp for max fuel / air and hp. Keep in mind this bike will only run a maximum of 5 minutes at any given time, less than 2 minutes will be the norm.
The stock ram air tube sumps have been removed for better air flow. We are making an all aluminum, round tube ram air setup as well.

That is the Muzzy SS with the Muzzy up and left offset mount that eliminates the oil cooler. Gotta have it if running their new M14 Sidewinder and modified oil pan.

Looks great!
I have made big efforts to reduce weight as well.
Are you going with portable starter?
I would mount the airshifter solenoid right on the ram cylinder.
Closer = faster shifts!

Thanks Dub...The decision on a remote starter will be made this week. I was weighing in on moving the solenoid to the ram but wasn't 100% sure it would make a difference with the higher nitrous pressure. Your expertise has removed all doubt...solenoid going to the ram. Thanks again

Paint and upholstery will be back tomorrow, so look for some pics here saturday night or sunday morning. I am friggin excited to see the end result of what I feel will be a very nasty looking all business ZX14 for the strip.
Next friday night will be the first private test session at a track.
Sunday following friday night will be the official debut at Shadyside in Spartanburg, SC then Greer Dragway in Greenville, SC the following thursday night.
