Ok usually I say hello and not ask a question on why my 2008 wont start to find out it needed spark plugs.... sigh....
So hello!
This is my 2008 ZX14 Build up. I don't plan on going crazy on this bike. I just want a street rider that is fast and can go a distance at the same time. I doubt I ll turbo this one..... but you never know....
2008 ZX14 7000 miles Sapphire blue.
I brought it home a few months ago ( around Nov 2013 ).
I was quick to know it needed a better sounding exhaust. So I found a used Muzzy full exhaust for $180 shipped ( couldnt turn that deal down even though I had my eyes on M4 slip ons.)
I figured then I needed to add a PCV, so I found one and downloaded the map for my exhaust setup. The bike originally had a TRE with gear indicator on it already.
Got a double bubble black windscreen and a tinted black tail light, plus I bought some vinyl tint to do the turn signals and headlamps but haven't gotten to that yet.
I also bought a keyless gas cap, I hate having to take my key out at fill ups.
I bought a Shorai Lithium battery as well, almost 10 lbs of dead weight removed!
I also machined some swingarm extensions from 6061 aluminum I had laying around.6-8" over is good enough for me when I hit the track this summer. I also bought some lowering links, I was going to make a set, but found a used set for $20, so I couldn't touch my machine for that and bought them. I also bought a lowering strap for the front as well. Finally I bought new air filter for it and I'll change the oil before I leave on my first ride/big trip.
Oh yeah I bought a 16 front 43 rear sprocket and still have to get a chain as well. But that will be more this summer. I also laser engraved my fork caps ( someone put these on after they installed risers before me ).
I am hoping to add a Connie seat and atleast a backrest for my wife in a few weeks.
I sold two Busa's and my Vmax to buy a new machine in the shop, and the machine quickly made enough money for me to buy the ZX14. Here is my Turbo Busa I sadly sold, regret, but don't regret either.... LOL.
