[tazdevil1964]

Hello everyone,some of you know that i had the black 1400GTR but now i have gone back to the sports bikes with my new purchase of a 08 ZX1400 limited edition on the candy red with matt black finish.
So far mods include:
candy apple red fender elimenator
candy apple red Zx14 heel plates
billet with see thru cap fuel cap
handle bar risers from Genmar
billet zx14 engraved caps for brake and clutch,steering stem
black anodised front axle caps
black anodised frame caps
red leds inside middle fairing and above swingarm
sportech black skull series windscreen

and the best part........ my red SPE-14 number plate

I need to take more pics

that is one sweet looking bike

just need some aftermarket pipes and get rid of that gear rack and your set


still cant get over the matt black, i am drooling

[tazdevil1964]

Hi and thanks.Yes i am looking for aftermarket pipes but there is so many to choose from.I did have m4's from the states on my 07 ZX14 and they sounded very nice if a bit loud.Where i work at Garden Island there is a guy there with the same bike and he has vance and hines pipes and they sounds nice.
Unfortunately I cant get rid of the rack as the other half sometimes comes with me and needs that rack for security hence thats why just the brackets are showing.

Hey,
tell me how you find the diff' between the GTR and the zx14 mate, besides the obvious?

You might save me doing the same as you.

BTW. Once you have had black it's hard to go back! Congrats on the bike

How about a pair of shortened Yoshis in Carbon, would go real nice with that colour scheme.

I'm normally not one to drool over a faired bike but dayum that's a hawt colour scheme.

hey jonno the only reason that i ended up selling the GTR was because the other half got a job that had her working weekends and since i dont work weekends i usually ended up riding solo on a sports tourer.( a bit of a waste to me)The bike was comfortable for her and me and I was amazed that with the GTR you can really treat it like a sports bike in the twisties and then load her up and go for a long ride.The shaft drive was not even noticable and was just like riding with a chain without the mess.A guy from Canberra come up and paid cash and rode it straight back to Canberra.He was rapped with the comfort and protection from the weather which he found out by having it rain on him on the way home,

The pipes i am really looking at is either the m4's again or Two brothers Racing as they make some nice pipes but will have to get them from the states.

Thanx spex and at least i dont have to worry about polishing like i did with my black GTR1400.The bike gets cleaned with Dodo Juice red mist and thats it.Simple and effective.

Tas..

Ahh, yeah thanks, that doesn't help at all

My thing is touring really at a "leisurely" pace

Although I am torn between that and upping the ante in the corners as I am easily lead and learn plenty from following closely as possible Would love my 12R back and secretly want a 10R (sshhh) but I think those wants cannot be achieved on the same bike.

I would have all 4

Oh and + the mighty 9R

[Mike]

That looks great!

[seiko1]

[waynemorgan]

comfort and sport are rarely seen in the same sentence

[Jonno]

yeah I know

Transition and age, indecision sucks, but got a few months yet

Thats why I like the 12 and 9R they cover both areas well and still can depending on rider keep up. but they are dated but still options as is the rex (ZRX)

So now there is 6 bikes, oh my lordy

Yeah, hijack, start this discussion in a new thread.
