Thanks brother, greatly appreciated........Installed the Muzzy n2o kit tonight - very simple mod for anybody wanting an easy 50hp. Everything goes together as advertised, no surprises.....Next week I hope to have the bottle mount complete and the regulator/solenoid plate built in the saddle bag - that will look wild.
Cheers,
Cliff

Just for fun (we had an extra windscreen) John thru some of the House of Kolor satin gold on it. Against the satin black metallic (stunning colour live - these pics really don't show the depth of the paint) I think it works. This bike is going to look so cool it keeps me up all night I'm so excited!!
Cheers,
Cilff

I have been checking on this project of yours the last couple of weeks. At first I wasn't a fan. But I have to say I've been won over and really looking forward to the final unveil.

Thanks Bird....This bike looks like a space age rocket - the black satin with metal flake actually makes the black look platinum in tone, really wild. The gold satin is so vibrant it jumps! I only wish you guys could see it live, it's stunning.......All of our graphics (ZX-14ht & Kawasaki) are being done in white 'carbon fiber' vinyl - should really snap against the black and gold.

If I'm being honest that gold windscreen looks like crap cliff, put a nice smoked one on there IMO

Thanks Bently, we have the smokey ready to go, it was just for fun on a Friday afternoon. Frankly speaking, I like it and suspect that in combination with the entire bike it might work. Tank and other pieces are being shot today, I'll have them logo'd up next week in the white vinyl, pics to follow......Lenny at A Trim Plus is drilling holes right thru the rear Kappa tail bag and rear seat so Rob at Tricked Toys can build 4 anchors with 1/4 turn quick releases that will hold the tail bag in place 'invisibly' at 200mph+, very cool. When we choose not to use the tail bag I just pop the plastic solo cover on and the 4 'finished' holes disappear. I hate bungy cords!.

Front fender wings gold to match the grills. Finishes bike nicely.

Another alternative from Sidi, painted by John Connery & House of Kolor. Fabulous boots for the track if you're in the mood......Note the ram-air screen in gold - nice touch.

Our logos have been 'patented' and cut in carbon fiber white vinyl (sadly the pic doesn't do them justice) looks fabulous against the satin black and gold!! More to come as we ramp up the project.

Guys, I thought you might get a kick out of this - very rough pic of our 'hidden' n2o set-up which Rob & I worked on until 3 am last night. Everything is in one Kappa saddle bag with the electrical & gas lines going out thru the bodywork accordingly. The pressure guage is mounted first (hard to see) in an aluminum manifold Rob at Tricked Toys designed and milled up, very nice......When we're finish the rough fit, the final gold Muzzy bottle will be put in, all fittings spruced up and the mounting plates painted satin black - should be cool.

Spy pic of bottle mount., lots of cool fabrication here by Rob at Tricked Toys last night. This connection has to be strong or you've got big trouble.

A 14 buddy asked me how big a shot we'll run on the 14? I told him Muzzy's 50 to start, then after a season we'll pull the motor, install stronger valve springs, bigger juice lines (they restrict the n2o flow) pull the n2o jet out completely, build a richer secondary fuel map with timing out and hit a 100 shot on VP Fuel C16......Don't you just love this stuff.
Cheers,
Cliff

Bags by Kappa paint by John Connery and House of Kolor.......Just a quick plug for John, he's one of North America's top painters and has been for 30 yrs. He's won every bike Show you can think of and 'Best in Show' at Sema - the pinnacle of talent. John doesn't paint a project unless it turns him on - I'm privileged to have him at the helm.

Sorry but it's looks like rattle can Krylon paint , I've used House of Kolor 3 stage paint and it's awesome, but hey, if you like the rattle can look that's all that matters.

I don't think I would say it looks like a rattle can but I don't dig the colors at all. Stock red looked good!

Bently, I didn't mean it that way, it's the flat black paint look I don't like, the painter is doing a great job as well as Clifford..

Steady lads, let me get her finished first then you can decide whether you like the concept or not.....With custom, the sum is always greater than the parts!

Modified the stock rear foot peg and muffler holders for a cleaner look.
