Pics with BST's & CT Pipe installed
Today I finally got a chance to take some pics since installing the wheels & exhaust. Riding the bike on the street is AMAZING with the wheels. It is a completely different bike. I had a ZX10 before my ZX14 and now my 14 reminds me of my 10. I always thought the 14 was a "do it all bike" but I always kinda wished it handled a little better. Now with the wheels, I do not see me getting rid of the bike any time soon.

Bet it's fun! Love it that you kept it stock wheelbase and dropped some weight with those sick wheels!

You only need two tools: WD-40 and Duct Tape.
If it doesn't move and should, use the WD-40.
If it shouldn't move and does, use the duct tape.

wonder how top speed stability (street near top speed) is with those light wheels if it would need a damper. I see you have one already. Moment of inertia is allot less, which makes it handle so nice, i'm sure, but must affect stability.
Bike looks great btw. One of the nicest IMO.

I've wondered that myself, but I think it's proven contrary to that. Obviously, even with light wheels, the amount of gyroscopic force generated at speed is still well enough to keep things in line. As long as the geometry is kept within reason.
I'm really wanting to bite the bullet and put some of those wheels on the 12, but between those and the custom offset adjustable yokes I'm getting, it's almost another 6k.

I found the bike to be much more sensitive to steering input at high speed. In my case the damper and additonal wheelbase balance things out nicely.

I raced at Maxton a couple weeks ago and went 201 mph on the bike (with pump gas). I ran it the way it looks in the pictures. The bike was 100% stable.
Thanks for the nice comments.
