Romans, that's one sharp looking Ninja!

Black, it's the new black.

I love the black and I'm a clean freak so the dirt is not a issue . I've looked at your photos, so I can see that some of you guys agree . There is a rumour out there that the blue zx-14 is faster . Say isn't so .

hello

my name is bluemotion and i am a new member.i am from the netherlands and i own a midnight saphyre blue zzr 1400.i am looking for an exhaust system and was wondering if you could show some more pictures of your bike with that beautiful acrapovic system on it.best regards bluemotion.

Sounds like you picked up one of those realy fast blue ones ? I hope these photos help you decide . Cheers .

picture 3 looks like a lot of work! maybe i'm not ready for a full system after all :\

oh, and who's 2fiddy? : )

Don't let pic 3 scare ya . I was changing tires, chain, wheel bearings,sprockets etc. You do not need to take off the front wheel If you are only changing the pipe . It is not that bad of a job and you do not need much in the way of tools.The plastic comes off easy(just go slow) .With the plastics off it looks as if a bomb hit it . I know it looks bad, but it's not . The 2fiddy belongs to the Boss .She now want's the new 600 .But I want Rims and a Turbo . Who will win ?

so everything but the plastics can stay in place?

you going to ditch the new pipe for a turbo? what wheels are you eyeing?

Some guys install the pipe with the rad in place . I do not recomend this . Your knuckles will fold the fins over but it can be done . Or just take the rad out of the way . I would like to get the CAROZZERIA mirror finished wheels with the Galfer rotors lines and pads and a ATP TURBO but at 27 dollars on the hundred it all sounds like a 10,000 dollar shopping spree that just won't happen .

they make a mirror finish? have they always had those available?

Everyone should stay tuned to Romans "BUILD"
By July he will break 210 MPH,
and by August it will have wings on it and he will have to get FFA approval to ride.

I thought it was Mudbug No 210mph for me . We have a toll highway here that I have been practiceing on . The highway is made of concrete and you could land a 747 on it in places . I am out of power but not distance . The last time I tried for my top speed I shook for almost two hours afterwards. I checked on how hot my tires got and then realized I do not know enough about running a bike at that speed for that long .This highway at times seems endless so there is no need to slow down (except police). I am 6'1 & 220lbs . My fat ass won't break 200 without a turbo .And a diet is not a option . As far as a build is concerned I am just a copy cat that wants to go fast . The guys on the old, now New site helped me get my ducks in a row . I am a dirt bike guy trying to learn and I am willing to take advice . Cheers .

i also want to turbocharge my zx14 , so i am prepairing the bike for the rush of horsepower and ordered an extended swingarm at thompsons usa.is there anyone with more detailed info about a turbo for the zx14?

I so wish you could see the files from the old site . Yes ,there lots of info from the guys here . Jc just finished his turbo install. zxbob has a turbo ,and this is his back yard . Bad in black ,just stated his turbo install. Go to the turbo section and post your thoughts . The guys love their bikes and i'm sure they will put you in the right direction . Lots of choices .

The carrozzerria rims being so pricey have you given any thought to having your rims polished?

No,but I have called some of the local chrome shops. Most of the shops here won't do it and the ones that will won't give me a price unless I bring in the rims . I understand there point but I would have thought with a picture they would be able to give me a idea but the answer was NO . Ice is starting to melt and I went for my first ride yesterday maybe I will take a ride over there and see if they will give me a quote .

have you considered the carbonfibre wheels from BST ?(blackstone)they look like a million dollar an you will find yourself feeling like you are valentino rossi!i had them a few years ago on my gsxr1000 and they where great.coming back on the turbo issue , i m on the turbo page now and getting a lot of info there so thanks for the tip!greets from amsterdam.

BST Rims . Yes I have looked . They are Awesome but.........For the zx14 the price is 3812.95 with the rear sprocket and no bearings . So 3812.95US x 1.27896 on the dollar = 4876 Canadian . Now lets add shipping and custom fees and TAX that big man must have And ya I have looked, and then I realized that is about all I will be doing ?

3800.00 Canadian dollar ex shipping , ex custom fees , ex tax .wheels come with bearings , hubs and rear sprocket ready to ride!for me it will be 3250.00 euro incl shipping and tax.i m thinking about buying them myself.(after i saved some more ha ha).

3250 euro x 1.6325 = 5305 Canadian or 4127 US. Does any body else think this is huge Doe ? Just talking about it makes me feel like my N.ts are in a vice. How many hours of extra work will I have to do in order to pay for those little beauties ? There is no doubt, they are awesome . I would love to see some pics . I just looked on the schnitz web site and moved on .

no , it is 3800.00 canadian dollar for you if you order them from england.i am sure that the custom fees and the tax is no more than 500.00 canadian dollar.so you save 1000.00 canadian dollar , a little downpayment on your turbo . i am sure that you will have to do some extra hours for that too .

What site are you looking at ? Can you post a link . Cheers .
