Single or Twin Pipes
Hi boys, I hope you’re well………..I haven't been here since building the 2000 Muzzy Kawasaki ZX1270 Project 10 yrs ago (I'm looking at it right now as it sits across the room from me in my office - albeit rebuilt as a 'naked' after a big crash at Mosport in 2010)........I've got one last build left in me and for my 60th B-Day I'm planning to make the 2013 ZX14 my canvas for a 'sport-touring' version. Hopefully the '13 bikes will be available within 90 days..........I plan on using the Muzzy twin can carbon fiber system rather than the usual single pipe if for no other reason than I think they make more torque where you need it -mid range - and IMO they look sexier...........Any thoughts, maybe someone did some comparison dyno work with single vs twins on a 2012?
All the best,
Cliff

I've just received a few PM's which I can't seem to respond to on this page - if you like, send me a note to cliff@randallsearch.com and I'll get back to you.
Cheers,
Cliff

Once I get my computer guy to set up a 'link' I'll post the mock-up pics we have of the project. I'll be using ZX14 Concours hard bags, we'll build special brackets, the bike will be painted black with gold highlights/gold wheels - similar to the 1270. Should look good. If someone has the ability to post the pic for me, send me an e-mail and I'll shoot it over to you. Thanks.

14 should look pretty much like the design we used on the 1270, tough to get it right with ink!

This is a pic of what's left of the 1270 today (advent of the naked bike, a wrecked sportbike) after a nasty 100mph low side in 2 at Mosport......It'll still run with the big dogs - 180rwhp/465lbs 'wet'.

The flat-black streetfighter looks badass. Congrats on the new ride and project. Keep us posted on your 'canvas'// Really dig your concept and agree with you on the concurs, great bike, just not for me.
