It's hard to imagine something actually riding 'better' than my stock suspension(s).So damn smooth and all.But then I said that about ABS as well...and the wheels.Hoping for a good riding season this year...

Come on, operator
Gimme Ohlins on my line
She know what I need
To ease a cravin in my spine

A cheerleaders smile
Tijuana style
Your daddy may be judge
Sure know how to nudge

All right, OOOOOOOOOOOOOoooOOOhlins
ooooooooooooooooooooooOOOhlins

Well, I've been living
So white and clean
That uh, Jack
It's made me mean

Well, I need ohlins
Smooth, round thigh
Like a rush to get me high

I give it my best shot
Honey, all I got
My name may not be Hud (BAAAAAAAAAAAAhahahahahahahahaha!)
Show you I'm no dud

All right, OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHlins
OOOOOOOOOOOOOoooOOOhlins, ooooooOOOOooohlins

You know my baby's love
Just like a sweet velvet glove
Honey, crack that whip
You make me bite my lip

All right, OOOOOOOOhlins
OOOOOOOOOOOOOoooOOOhlins, ooooooOOOOooohlins

I said O, H, L, I,

alright, OOOOOOOOOOOOOoooOOOHHHlins!

had that one on yer mind lately? Tell the truth.

Well...something like that anyway;)

Well...somewhat sad news...Ohlins doesn't have these forks right now...apparently all sold with no replacements yet...so the forks are a no go right now.Middle of April they said.Sa'll good...I'll wait then.Rear shock...IDK...I'll check that out as well...probably fine.

yeah after Rook said they were sold out, I was surprised you were able to find some. Check out the used market. I would wait on the shock, the forks is what's going to make the biggest improvement. Also, why not look into the Ohlins Nix? They are 30mm so they may be more suited for the big 14.

Thanks Dragking....little surprised myself that the dealer didn't know this going in?Decided to keep the order open...April's not too far away;)

....are you sure it is not the NIX you are ordering? I assumed that it was. The old 25mm are all gone for the 14.

If this is the 200 series you ordered, that is the new NIX 30mm forks. The old series was the 800 series.

"If this is the 200 series you ordered, that is the new NIX 30mm forks"...that's good then?

Apparently they're 43 mm forks....not the NIX.FRGT 200 series...for the zx14R 2012-2013.I should say...the internals are listed as 'ohlins new kit"...30mm.It doesn't say anything about 'NIX".Whatever they are...they're FRGT 200 series.Hell...I really don't know...NIX?What's that?

?

I guess this just goes to show I need to research the heck out of this before I buy.

There are 43mm forks for the 14r? That should be better yet. I don't see why they wouldn't fit the Gen1....but i have this funny feeling there is some misinformation spinning here..

I think the 43 refers to the OD...doesn't it?The internals wouldn't be the same diameter.I doubt a 30mm OD would fit into the fork clamps...too small...yes?These are listed as 2012-2013 zx14R...I guess they're right...the one comment for em was totally positive...they fit the stock triple tree and lower clamps...I'm assuming on the zx.It's with the product listing.The guy at the store said they'd fit the ABS model....zx14R 2013.

These are listed as 2012-2013 zx14R

Grn, if you are working with Motomummy, I think they have a few problems with info on fitment. Put bluntly, they do not have a good grasp of what parts fit the ZX-14 and they do not always list them properly. Great prices. I recommend but always get other opinions when dealing with them. Ask for part # so you can check with someone else if it will fit your bike.

I saw a couple of pics of this fork...at least one of their forks...it had a cutout and covered plate where the abs sensor would fit.It wasn't a zx14Fork...but it was made with the abs sensor fitment in it.So the guy telling me yes it fits abs was most likely correct.Saw another pic here somewhere showing the center fender brace going up and attaching to the fender...so they do make that....I'm concluding the abs sensor is also machined in....we'll see.

Yes...that link shows the pic of the fender brace machined in....

That long tab coming off the fork bottom? Heck yeah. That's there. IDK a thing about ABS. Since ABS is an option on the 14, my guess is any bracketry would be an ad-on to the fork. But I will wait to hear what you discover.
