No .... but I can take one if you'd like.
All I did was mill the filler cap, then drill and tap it for a barbed fitting.
I connected a 3/8 rubber hose and ran it out to the tail piece. I used
on of those factory "tapered bulbs" you see hanging under the bike
off the air box drain tube at the end of my vent tube so I could see if
any oil gets up that high ...... it's allways dry !

I'll post you up a pic.
Just put the tapered end in the hose you run bac there, if you do get oil, it'll
drain back. Cut the nipple off the flat end to vent.

Nope.
Apparently some spamin asshat decided to post up bogus pricing that I can not compete with.
Can you keep the funds for me?
I will use it for other stuff in the near future.

The prices were real, but if you read the thread the mislead people...
Someone is selling the integrated tail light for $39 or whatever, and the retail on them is $135... of course i can get us better prices but can not compete with $39... no wher near.
then later eludes that they are only the red, green, blue versions...
it ismisleading and cantradictory.
I'll get the link in a minute.

3/4 the way down this page.
http://www.bikeland.org/board/viewthread.php?FID=27&TID=45136&pagenumber=2
pretty disheartening, and misleading ....
I guess he thought he was doing everyone a favor... but not.
apparently most want to paint their lenses, in an illegal and obscure to the cagers fashion...
I can get us good deals for every model they make too, not just the zx14... something I would offer to the entire membership.
Additionally Clear alternatives misrepresents the price on the frt signals
Since the zx14 frt signals come with a new housing and all they retail for $75, not $45... hurts the deal also... They also would not drop ship, so I have allot of shipping the group price must absorb... then my time...
I just became frustrated with the combination of issues at hand. The ppl and the price errors.
I can do great deals on the pazzo levers though... easy.

Here is the retail pricing.
The fronts retail for $75 as quoted by Clear alternatives not the advertised ~45 or whatever here, plus $40 for the rear
http://clearalternatives.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Store_Code=CA&Category_Code=ZX-14R
Integrated tail light:
$135
http://clearalternatives.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Store_Code=CA&Category_Code=NINJA_ZX14
The retail market is getting pretty desperate with their pricing, selling at a big loss.
When I asked Clear Alternatives for a quote, they replied my shipment was was ready !
Whooa , I wanted a quote for 10 sets...not to buy em just yet!
Hard racing did the same thing to me the week before...except they actually shipped.
If you have ever tried to return stuff across the border , the cost of shipping and brokerage fee's 1 way is bad enough. Then try to get your duty and taxes back on returns... PITA.
Apparently they are so desperate they will even take your money when all you want is a price quote...

Nobody is selling the smoked ones for dirt, but I guess the retailers need to clear the stagnant stock of colored ones...

so were you connecting to the bottom of an existing bulb or using a new one upside down with a hole in the top for the vent?
