Hello everyone, yes there is a site available at www.jonesperformancecycle.com , but I have been very lazy when it comes to getting up products that are available. In reality very busy. Im the mechanic, fabricator, shipping, recepionist, maid, etc. you get the point. I have only one other guy that helps me out part time. But please feel free to email me or call and I will let you know what I have. Which is pretty much anything turbo related to a zx14, or busa for that matter. I have just dedicated some serious hands on to turbo development for the zx14 over the last two and a half years. The first turbo zx14 that I built was simply to prove a point to a friend/bike mechanic that stated that that thing (zx14) would never work well as a turbo bike. That bike actually went a 8.39@176 on its maiden voyage down the strip, and the owner rides its as a true streetbike on weekends. I have learned alot about turbocharging the zx14 since that day for sure. I have been very low profile with everything, simply because I did not want to sell or promote products that had not been tested hands on in a real world environment. That just not my style. I have spent alot of money over the years on high performance products that had little to no R&D over the years, especially turbo products. So therefore I would not want to put someone in those shoes. Principals a much more important to me that a quick buck. Money like that comes to an end quickly anyway with the advent of the internet and forums that discuss issues as we are doing right now. The surport that I have received via this site, and among some publications (straightliner, super-streetbike) is greatly appreciated. We a truly a privateer effort with very limited finances, so to fare as well as we have is the last two years racing is rewarding. With that siad I must give thanks to God, my family, Todd Schnitz, John Fernandez, Richard Gadson, Adams Performance, Doug Ray, Shinko/WPS, Barry Henson, and many others behind the scenes that help keep the wheels rolling. Thanks Guys.
P.S. Dubious give me a call when you can. And Hey Dean Sabatinelli do you still remember how to ride the 1320? Miss Ya Dean, those were some good times, I bet you never thought I would ever own a Kaw the way I talked about those things.
