New 14R Rims
10/27/11 7:57 AM

I understand the new 14R has forged rims resulting in an approximate unsprung weight reduction of three (3) pounds as compared to the cast rims currently used as OEM. Does anyone know if they will fit 06-11 models.

I tried my local shop and the new parts books have not been received from K, and probably won't be till Spring 2012.

Same part number as an 06 ~ 11 model?:

Axle?
Spacers?
Wheel bearings?
Swing arm?
Pick a part = Fits!

BST's are listed 06-12, so I would assume they will fit.

2015 30th Anniversary Edition 14R #250-> Brock's CT Ceramic Coated, Ivan's ECU Flash V2 & Map, Block off plates, HM Strain gauge quickshifter, GPR Damper, Spiegler lines, Muzzy's Sliders, Pazzo levers, Rizoma Next Fluid Tanks, DDM Ultra 5500K HID's Low & Hi, DB Windscreen, Cox Radiator guard, gold titanium bolts... too many to list at this point

Hard to tell about OEM wheels, Kawasaki.com still doesn't have OEM parts diagrams for the 2012 ZX14, and the retail players like BikeBandit etc. do not have 2012 on most models yet.
