I did not want to get to carried away as I already like the blue. So I had my friend paint up my foreman grillz and add a ghost flamed skull on the rear tail section. I am pretty happy with the work, so I thought I would share.

Thanks guys! These are not the greatest pictures, it was a lot harder to keep the reflections off the tail section under the light conditions at that time.

Friggin cool, ham. Yeah, I like. The fins always look cool painted and that skull is an excellent solution to dressing the bike up without overwhelming the beautiful stock appearance of the ZX-14. I think you have to kind of follow the original lines of a 14 because the shape of the bike is already pretty elaborate. It doesn't usually work to have a busy paint scheme and I don't often see them. Your "ghost" approach works.

Great styling - understated and class (not totally keen on the punisher skull on the front side fairing though personally - but doesn't spoil it).

The "nose" (or lack thereof) of the ghosted skull is the same shape as the ram air duct on the front, although upside down - cool!

I think the ZX10R (is that right?) front fender would add to the look too.

Glad you guys like it. I feel the same as you about the bike. It has such great lines that it certainly does not need much more pop, especially in this bright blue color. The punisher thing is kind of become my brand that I put on all my bikes, I did it on my first bike and after a while everyone knew me by it. I however do realize it does not do it for everyone.

Happy fourth to everyone! Ride safe there are lots of crazies out pulling boats this weekend.

I can't seem to view these pic's at all... Firefox, IE 8, Chrome... no dice.

I'll try again later from home I guess... it sounds sick though! lol

There's just nothing there, it has to be our content filter here at the office... although other pictures come up on this site for me.

Under Firefox 3.5 there is nothing at all.
Under IE 8 there are bad image tags( red X )
Under Chrome there are just X's

I'm sure it will work fine from home, I am actually the Net. Admin here so if I really wanted too I could see what the deal is but I'm not that motivated knowing I really should be working right now... lol

IKeyes, like you said it's probably your content filtering.

You can run something like Fiddler to see what the HTTP dialog is like between you and the image server if you wanted to really see what's up - maybe can be worked around... :)
