Looks clean man! I spend more time cleaning my zx14 than riding it.
I think it would look good with no flames, I'm sure somebody has removed them and has a picture we could see.

I like the look with the grills painted to match the white and leave the stripes red otherwise it looks like a big rectangle on the side of the bike. Also the red part of the frame might look good as a stripe down the middle following the curve of the frame extend it forward and black out the outsides.

I actually do not like that paint scheme without the flames. I do think just the upper flame would look good

The lower flane and rear flame look good together....put your finger over the pic blocking the upper flame. See what I mean?

i agree with you and i saw one without flames and look very dull.. i am thinking of pulling the bottom one and see what happens. the reason i left it as is because both flames on front fairings split the side grill.

Must be too c;old to ride or it would be dirty & you wouldn't give a shit if it had flames or posies. I haven't spent five hours cleaning in five years, go ride & enjoy.

Paint the lower and tail peice to match the red , remove the flames ???
take the photo , use corel painter 4 or 11 paint it any way you want for a real look!, print a few 8x10's to look over , you can even use the time your sanding to decide????????????

Do NOT remove all flames. I saw one all white and it looked wrong. The flames look good. I don't notice any missing from your pic above but you take another off it is going to start to look pretty blank.
I take my fairings off and clean everything underneath every winter, also. I polish the fairings with a swirl remover while they are off and then wax them. Might as well in the time you can't ride. I'm holding out another month.

This is mine with stickers removed. I had to cut around the "ninja" and the "zx14". I think it looks much cleaner now.

and this is her lowered and stretched. Personally I am much happier without the flames. Now just want to get a set of sidewinders and she'll be ready.

The D&D isn't that loud. There is actually a vid on youtube of it.
No, I didn't change the pipes, it's just the angle that I took the pic, you can't see the other one.
