It certainly should but you are on ProBolt.com from Britain. wouldn't ProBolt-USA be better for shipping since Phillipines is territorially linked to the US?
I just ordered the engine bolt kit from ProBolt-USA and it is listed as the ZZR1400 for my '08. Same bike as the ZX-14, they just call the 14 ZZR everywhere but the US.
Here's a link to the product you are looking for
^^Yep, that is the engine kit I bought. Have not put any on yet but dragking has installed the black engine kit and likes it just fine. No problems.
The ProBolt guy is a fine chap. Call him on the phone and he will prolly be glad to answer any questions.

ahhhh-- you have a 2012-13? I don't know if there would be a significant dif in engine bolts between the 06-11 ZX-14 and the 2012+ 14r but I would have to think there is DEFINITELY a dif in the Full Monty bolt sets cuz they include fairing screws and everything.
If you are talking about 06-07 compared to the minorly updated 08-11, then most certainly all bolts in that set will be interchangeable between the two models. The Pro-Bolt site refers to the bolt sets as '06-'11 so that should cover all of the first ZX-14 models. I have a hunch one might need to do some selective picking to come up with a full Monty for the 14r and quite possibly even for the engine case bolts. Talk to the ProBolt guy. If you are unable to call or email, I can call for you to ask questions.

Yep the 2013 has been ordered just doing some parts shopping while i wait on it to arrive, and for me to get back to the PI. I've already shot them an email Rook but I appreciate the offer. Just not the patient type so I was seeing if anyone knew for certain lol.

I just do the "ghetto" permanent black marker on my non stress bolts (2 coats per bolt) does not dry completely black but more of a "black chrome"
Stays on pretty good even after repeated washings, if not then just apply a fresh coat

Yep< I was doing that marker trick on the busa. Usea brand new, wet Sharpie. Paint is a more permanent solution but it cracks off easily when you wrench on hex head screws. Socket head screws fair pretty well when painted. It may be worth while masking off the screw and then spray painting it. It should stay good until you need to remove it.
