Zero Gravity Rocks!
I had ordered the Zero Gravity double-bubble windshield through Kneedraggers. While switching the mounting hardware over from the stock shield to the ZG, I managed to break one of the ZG's mounting holes. Those rubber posts are a tight fit, and I guess I pushed too hard.
Kneedraggers wouldn't do anything for me, but thankfully a couple of emails to Zero Gravity and a replacement was on the way. The windshield is a great product, and looks great on my silver 14.
I heartily recommend Zero Gravity for their excellent product and outstandding customer service.

I put a ZG ST on my 14. No prob and am pleased with its looks and wind deflection. I had raised the handle bars 5" and back 3". for sport touring and can comfortably ride several hours at a time. Butt burn is my only problem now. Will likely break down and spend the big $ for a Corbin.

kawaski also sells a new gel seat thru their internet site. Available for the 14 and the concourse. No sure if its what you're looking for, but take a look. Pretty damn expensive too.

Rat be very weary with corbin on the 14 seats. I have had the worst luck and customer service out of them.. i ordered in early march seat came in late april.. had to be sent back because the latching pins would not line up.... got the seat back after another month and a half... still didn't fit and it had small tears in the leather and the leather in the main part of the saddle had delaminated creating a bubble... sent the seat back and have been trying to get my money back for a month and a half...... i would check with Tobin saddles.... or the connie seat.....

Rat ,Fifth- +1 on the Tobin Seat. He did my seat for me and it came great! Extremely comfortable, and if you carry a passenger, they'll love ya! Here's a pic of my seat, I had him stitch the Ninja Logo, carve saddle for the passenger(my girl wanted to feel planted), and stitching on the back rise for when I put the back cover on.

Thank you for the tip on the Tobin seat. I will check it out. I had Corbin in mind. I ran a Corbin for years on my ZX11. It held up very well and was very comfortable for hours at a time. It just plain fit my butt!

About $300-$330. The original estimate was $275(plain) but I added stitching and an additional carved saddle for the passenger. Since My girl bought it for a B-day present, I couldn't help but give her some comfort and reassurance. However, if I rode my bike primarily solo, I wouldn't have asked for it. The cool thing is when I put the back cap on(hint-ridin solo again),the Ninja on the back rise is stil exposed. This is one of the cosmetics mods I've done that makes me still say, " Damn that looks sweet!!!!!"

I'm running the C-14 seat. This seat is alot more comfortable than stock. My wife loves it to because she no longer slides forward.

This is the Muzzy Full racing exhaust. SS Pipes with CF can. I purchased it off ebay for 850.00. It can currently be viewed on ebay Item number: 190104311308. This pipe supports the O2 sensor, but was not used in my application. I just used the included plug.
Thanks for the props!

I love that graphite can… and as nice as it looks on the silver bike I think it will look awesome on black. One question, my justification for getting one to my wife is it is way cooler to the touch than the stock exhaust and while hot will not burn you. Can you tell me if I am blowing smoke?

I can't see any smoke from here.
Seriously this can does run cooler but the stainless steel pipe will still take your skin. I make sure my wife is dressed for the ride. We don't need anything messing up those pretty legs.
I've seen this system mounted on a diablo black 14. It looks awsome.

I've seen a few BMW's that have it done and it looks like it does the job nicely. Also does more than just padding.

This seat is off a 2008 Concours. Its base is identical to the stock seat and mounts with no problem using your stock brackets.
Its also great for those 200+ mile days.
