Maybe I can at least be the first to post a picture of a 14 with Tri-Rs.
I've looked everywhere and found zip. Rims PLUS rotors,,,,,, price is awesome. Congrats.

A little hard to see everything in one pic.
Starting from front right to left we have:
1) Alpine Stars AYC base layer garments. I got a couple each summer tank tops and shorts. Also a winter long sleave and pants. No, these will not double as jogging gear if anyone sees you up close. Big ol'barn door up the front and it does not have a velcro closure-- just a hole.
2) Kurvey Girl Dzeus fasteners. Think they are gonna fit just fine with little or no fairing modification.
3) Kurvey Girl safety wire spring clips
4)Contour GPS HD vid Cam
5) Pazzo shorties (those are the Chinazzos in the pic to represent. Already have the Pazzos on the bike.
6) Illumiglo reverse Gauge faces, 210 mph
7) Muzzy's BonnevillePRO speed limiter derestrictor/speedo corrector
8) APE manual CCT adjuster (from last winter never installed yet)
9) SOme pretty blue spools by Lucky Bike
10) LSL sliders brackets and Blue pucks
11) AFM 45T sprocket (for the Tri R when they come in)
12) HM strain gauge quikshifter.
13) Alpine Stars A10 back/chest protector. Way to MX for my use. didn't realize how large this thing was gonna be those shoulder protectors would never fit under leathers. The back hump would be pushing up against the leather's back huimp. Prolly try it for those few real hot days when I choose to go w/o a jacket. Nice and light and cool.
14) Spiegler braided steel clutch line
15) Alpine Stars A6 chest/back protector. No scapula protection but this is much more something I will wear under leathers...after they are broke in. This thing is still gonna add a few inches to chest.
16) ALREADY INSTALLED--Orient Express billet side stand. It's the same as all the others. all made in the same sweatshop somewhere in China.
CF look MagKNight tank bra---coulda pu that in the pic but I forgot I had it!
ON ORDER LIST:
17) Gille's Superbike Chain Adjusters, anodized blue
18) LightTech billet gas cap. Anodized blue and black

Nice pile, Rook!
Get the NOS... make sure camera is on first time you hit the switch.
Not sure what you mean about the clip ons... Those are for my 10r, and I got them because the stockers are one piece... So in the event of a get off, I'd have to replace the entire thing... Which means removing my damper and upper triple clamp (clip ons are under on 10r).
With the Gilles, I can just replace the bar.
I have been dreamin of turbos lately. Literally. LOL As if I need more power.

All those go-fast parts
The 14 is all done after nitrous. Then it's on to a track bike if that seems feasible ...then then I'll think about brakes.
BTW, the gas cap came in yesterday (while at church, even).
I have to let loose a rant:
It's teal, not light blue. Can anyone tell me why any time you buy a freagin' simple tool like a flashlight or a cable luber it is a beautiful ideal blue. NOT aqua, not purple, just a nice nuetral blue. ...but then you buy parts for the bike and they are every damn hue and/or shade of blue discernible to the human eye but none of them are close to matching?
This'll drive me nuts! Now I have to call OPP and order the gas cap in indigo. I can tell from their vids of the product that it is going to be purple blue. I won't like either color. It will cost $20 to return the one that is less desirable. I can't be the only guy that ever had this beef.
I think I'll just order a can of fake spray on blue anodized finish and do everything. What a PITA

well, pretty much the opposite here but it works out so go for it, ya know?
the plastic was dusty and after wiping it off it looks a bit more blue(ish). Sure wish it was darker like all of the other anodized parts up top. but I think I'm keeping it. I know what the indigo will look like. The gas cap is a showpiece part for sure and if I'm looking down at it every time I get on the bike and I almost cant see it, it will bug me. So baby blue, it is. Some point I will be hitting it with a transparent blue coat.

Brembo hard parts cost $$$, stuffing people in T1 is priceless though!
You ain't gettin' me until atleast T2.
Where's the Monoblocks?

Not sure what you mean about the clip ons...
I was thinking something like this:
that wouldn't work with the 14 because I need the stock clip on bolts to mount the HyperPro damper---Right? Plus we have the contol pods w/directional light switch, horn, engine kill, etc....those need OEM bars, no? Also what would happen to the ignition which is molded into the OEM casting that the bars go into?? Look pretty rough with just the tops of the bars poking up , hey? Little too track bike for a NOT track bike? What's your opinion?
What do you think of this?

I think that Blue Triple Tree looks really good.I'd have to get one however that didn't have zx14 carved into it.I'm at a bit of a loss though here Rook...isn't your baby deep metallic blue with the stripes?Not that those blue bits won't look just fine...but...quite a contrast to me anyway.Deep blue...lighter blue...ya...it'll be rockin for sure.

Rook, you will end up with way too many bits and pieces in non-matching blue IMHO.
yep, I will end up sanding, polishing and spraying all or having them anodized the same color. Good winter project for next year.
Everything sorta matches good enough, can't see the dif in pics but that gas cap is a lot lighter than any of the others. I may order an indigo just to see how it looks. Maybe it will just be dark blue and not purple like th egrips I got (which still match the damper and pazzos better than that gas cap).
The perfect anodized blue for me is Vortex blue.
Black is also cool.
I think that Blue Triple Tree looks really good.I'd have to get one however that didn't have zx14 carved into it.
The ZX-14 logo, I too could do without. The emblem on the tail is enough. I have a set of blue bar ends that have ZX-R (even though it ain't) on them. Seems a little too showy---I mean it is showy but the name doesn't make it fit the bike any better. I'd rather have the name of the manufacturer on the part.

Look at my avatar. The tape on the headlights goes nicely with the rest of the bike, don't you think?
I'm thinking of going with a few orange spots too.
I, KNOW you don't want to say anything.
If I ever get around to modding out the busa like this it will be all black parts with a few gold hints.
