Cool looking ZX......do you have a better picture so we can see the lens better. It looks way Too dark. I have a Black 07 and want All the lens smoked front and rear.
+1 - "more better" pics of the blinkers and taillight
my 14 was a track bike so I want the tint very dark. for street riding I wouldnt have tinted it so much.

Looks like a UFO siting. HA HA! Well, you can see the light without problem, I wonder why going that black would be bad for street?

Yep pretty expensive (but much nicer cleaner look than the tinted ones), hence why I did not buy them.
Posted for the OP as an alternative.

I have a pair of backdrafts on the back of my bike. Might be selling them soon as try tinting the stockers.
Oh, and just FYI for everyone, www.motosport.com currently has the clear alternatives integrated taillights for the 14 on sale for $33.xx a piece.....yep, that aint a typo.

not me...just ran across those lights on sale while I was looking for some other parts..... besides, your group buy was for smoke lenses.....unless you just want a blue taillight on a red bike.............. But just throwing that out there for those that may want a clear, red, or blue integrated light...for whatever reason....
and the small levers aint my thang, with my hands, the stock levers are shorty's to me. The $150 gay-painted levers was just a special I extended to you.......

The Backdraft turn signals look odd and out of place even on their example bike. Not to mention I live in Florida, and I want to make SURE the geriatrics can see my blinkers as best as possible, and those do not look very visible.

if you want visibility, the backdrafts ARE NOT the way to go. The leds are angled to the side of the bike and towards the ground. The shine great if you are off to the side. From the rear at night they are fine, but during the day.....forget it. I got folks that ride with me that say they can't see them unless they are purposely looking at them. The backdrafts definitely do no draw your attention to the blinkers....

Fine Looking ZX14.....wiish I had two, one for the trailer and one for the street. Tail end Looks Kick A__ I really would like to see a picture of the rear tail light and turn lens ON. With it that dark it looks all blended together.Perfect, now if it is legal.??? I really did not like the flat lens, to each his own.

actually, we went into a place to eat and when I came out, my plate was gone. I got one of those government jobs that keep me from running. I don't care how much the ticket is gonna be, I am pulling over. No question.
But do let me find that plate floating around on a bike. Bet they will wish they never touched it.......'cuase there is something worse than getting your ass whoooooooped.....and that is getting your ass whoooooooped while the ass whoooooooooooooooooooper is laughing.

Those don't look bad at all, and I can see them just fine. I would get them but I just can't justify the price tag for a set of flashers. Do you have the ones in front too or just the rear sets?

I looked them up and unfortunately they do not make these flashers in 2009 burnt orange to blend with my bike. That sucks!
