I'd also like to lower mine some...but I just cant want to before a clems  . I'd rather tip it over than fishtail from an oilslick. I feel reading one person's "I wish I would have" is enough for me to heed.

How about riding two-up with the bike lowered?
I am going to have to take the wife out every once in a while!

If all I were doing is street riding I would probably take my strap off. The problem with riding on the street would be the strap buckle rubbing a hole in the radiator. You aren't wanting to slam it are you?

Hey Shannon, Any modifications that you know of for your lowered stock pan for running the Muzzy Prostock sidewinder. I know that I have to relocate the oil filter to the left in place of the oil cooler. But is there something you can do to the stock filter location so I can save money and not have to change the pan.
Thanks
James

That drag race shit rotting out your brain's , why would anybody wan't to limit your bike's abillty on the street or back twistys , better poke arround thinking your hot shit , you woun't be doing any fast rideing with suppenson all bound up!
my wife at 120 pound's is enough to bottom one out , not good , lower one down for the track, ride slow in the real world .
maybe people should have more than one bike , one for track raceing, one for everday rideing.
slam one down from a bad wheely with no travel in the front , great way to break up all those nice part's !!
wonder how people make all that money to throw it away doing stupid shit !
good to know I will be rideing in privet , all those shrunken bikes won't be able to keep up
kawai and clem's going to sell some part's

 Most of us are drag race junkies  Lots of us can only afford one bike and are good enough to help each other out for the best of street/track setups.

have you been reading any of the post or topics?? 90% of us are dragracing junkies! why don't we buy two bikes? Obviously because we don't have as much money as you. Why would we want to put a strap on the front end to stop all the suspension travel?? Because we dragrace!!! You say you will tear up something if I come down from a Shellie with a strap on the front? How do you suggest to lower the front? We would like to know if your way is better...

This guy is obviously a fucking special case anyway. You can lower a bike a half inch to an inch in the the trees and it will actually turn in faster than stock because it has less rake. Lowering the rear of the bike *to the second hole* so that it's not slammed* will not really affect your handling that much either. It will however affect ground clearance which is why my lower right hand fairing has a scuff on the bump on it. I ride 45 minutes to the track through the canyons of southern california every weekend and at stock wheelbase and lowered the bike will still handle just as well as any other 14 with a decent rider. You just don't have the ground clearance to really get it over and drag knee. I'm also calling bullshit on your wife bottoming the bike at with her weighing 120 lbs. At swb I wasn't able to bottom the rear suspension out with me weighing 190 lbs, and the only time that the front would bottom out is if i was too abrupt on the throttle rolling out of stand up wheelies while out riding with my friends. Even then it was only the front fender hitting the front fairing because i'm lowered an inch in the triple trees. Now for the important thing. As long as you don't leave your front end strapped down tight on the street like a moron it will not affect your bike at all. That's like saying that pulling your mirrors off at the track is giong to affect your ability to see behind you on the street even though you put them back on before you leave. If a few more people would do their research before blasting off at the mouth about a subject that they obviously haven't the slightest fucking clue about we would be a lot better off on here.
BTW, If you guys don't already have one you should all look into getting a cox rad guard. 17k miles and my radiator looks like brand new. It will also help protect against the buckle on your strap if you ever accidentally leave it too loose and it flops around.

if you drop it an inch in the front and stretch it you need to get a clems pan. I was fine without it at stock wheelbase, but once i stretched it and lowered my bike the rest of the way I had to put on on because i started dragging the drain plug and i only weigh 175 lbs now. Also, if you drop a full inch in the front, you will get a hickey on the top of your front fender from the upper fairing.
I ride my to work everyday 25 miles each way, and go 45 minutes through the canyons to the track every weekend and i'm 7" over and slammed with a clems pan and 16/46 gearing.

Jbird....threaded links might be in my budget this spring....so I was thinking lowering only ever so slightly and dropping the forks maybe 1/2 to 3/4".....no stretching, as my chain was new a year ago, and $$$ is tight!
However, I weight 220lbs, and with the wife running no bike this year again, she will want to ride on the back occasionally.
I think I need to wait till Spring time and take a good look at the bike and make a decision then.
This is a good thread, thanks guys. I AM LISTENING!
As a side note....as much as I have considered selling the bike due to my $180 (cdn) a month insurance payment, I have dropped State Farmcrooks and found insurance for $100 a month! So I am keeping my bike!!

James-- i will have to look into it -- what pipe are you running cause my buddy has the muzzy sidewinder and had no problems -- we make a oil cooler block off plate. where does the pipe you are talking about go that it interferes with the filter?

Yep i ride on rough pavment , dirt road's old broken pavment , need all the travel I can get .
Have barley scraped the bottom with two up , supension set softest for wife,s back 280 total !
I traded two perfectaly good bike's for the ZX14, it get's wheeled , tripel diget's on every ride or it doese'nt get riden!
why I read this ,some hardcore drag racer's here have the most valueable info out their , they know about what work's what dosent ! my bike is used as sport bike I like it that way
If I had all that money , be rideing a C14 , mod the ZX .
after 23 motorcycle's in life plenty of drag raceing in my early year's, have found the ZX the best all arround bike for me , dont want to screw it up , love the long wheele's, suspension better than most in stock form!!
keep on raceing ,give's us all good info
Every motorcycle lover should have sevral one to ride , one to modifi, , dirt bike when ya feel the need, just funning with ya anyway, the stress of finding another bike on craig's list getting to me.
