Finally got the Bocks SMEG installed
Finally got my Brocks SMEG installed. Bought it used from our classifieds here and I couldn't be happier. It arrive already heat wrapped and ceramic coated. All I had to do was order new packing and a noise reduction plug. Even if you do not buy the pipe from Brocks they still give outstanding customer support. They set me up with PC III maps that are spot on! As you can see I'm a BIG Boy and need all the scoot I can get. lol

Dude the 14 and the Hayabusa are the only bikes I really considered. Although the Hayabusa is a decent bike the seat to peg relationship feels like its more for a smaller person. The 14 is all day comfortable even for me. Believe it or not I am addicted to the twisties with my Big Self. lol.

Nice color scheme ... Black and Blue.
If you need 1.75 more inches in the seat/peg area, try the Buell peg mod.
My Muzzy M14+Carbon came in last week. I need to get it on myself too.

You know I tried using a peg lowering kit when I first got it but I about ripped it of scrapping in the mountains with the bike leaned over. So I went back to stock. I have adjusted now and find it a comfortable riding position.

you truely can tell the difference. I had a muzzys full exhaust with a carbon fiber can originally but I gotta tell you the maps they provide were not the best at all. Short of getting a full custom map at the cost of a couple hundred bucks the smooth fueling characteristics you would want are not quite there. The brocks maps for street and track with secondaries removed are very smooth even at small throttle openings which is where most bikes spend most of the time on the street. When you do decide to open it up the noticeable increase in top end power and the accompanying basso profundo will have you hooked!!!!

You might see a little just put new tires on few days ago. Installed a new set of Pirelli Diablo Corsa III 's. I swear those folks over at Pirelli use the most release compound of anyone in the industry. LOL. Makes for one slippery tire when your scrubbing in a new set. They beaded up nicely and were very easy to spoon on. I was initally afraid to get these because I thought they might not have the sidewall strength needed for our application on the 14. They were primarily developed for the supersport application but they appear to be more than up to the task.
