Hi im in need of 2 fork stanchions tubes for a ZX14 2006.

Anyone now?

Never heard of anyone trying that but if the part number is the same, I would almost bet it would work. The internals have to be different but the tube itself is just a tube. Could be different fork bottoms perhaps? I thought that was a part of the fork tube.

I see, the fork bottom is a part of the inner pipe. The part number on the fisch for that is also the same except for the A/B/C designation.
If you look at the part numbers on the list to the right, they are not the same between the ZX-10 and the ZX-14.
Outer fork tube for 10 is
44008-0017
Outer fork tube for 14 is
44008-0020
I think that is the supplier's part number, not the OEM part number but something about them must be different. Could be just the color of the finish.
I'd measure with a calipers at several places and compare. The inside is also important but you won't know if the internals transfer unless you try. Lots of work not being sure what the outcome will be.

Im restoring a zx14
The zx14 innertubes have rust gone through the chrome so need new ones.Was looking for a quick/cheap fix but i guess its better to get some zx14 legs instead of the zx10
Thanx for the input:)
