Greetings, I picked up my first ZX14 about 6 weeks ago. It's a 2008. It had 4000 miles on it, completely stock, with an extended warranty until December 2014. I love this bike! Wanted to send out some thanks to several members for a lot of helpful information. Special thanks to "Privateer". From his advice I installed Buell Ulysses pegs giving me an extra inch of leg room. At 52 it makes a big difference on my knees. Thanks to other postings I also installed Genmar on Helibar risers for 1 3/4 inch higher bars. (with stainless bolts from Fastenall) They are perfect now. I also installed a Sargent Solo seat with silver piping. Maybe others have already done this but I found that my EZ Pass transponder works perfect tie wrapped under the back seat cover. (which is an empty space now with my Sargent Solo Seat) It's out of sight and works great. To break up all of that Silver I added some black carbon fiber "foremans". I was going to go with smooth side covers but the rest of the bike is so smooth that to me the ridges in the side covers give it some texture. I also added some black pin striping and some black powder coated fairing vent screens. I put a fender eliminator on it with chrome LED license plate bolts. Also thanks to Privateer on advice for cooling. I installed a 2nd fan, a Schnitz 7" racing fan wired in with the primary fan, no relay and stock fuse. Works great. Never hits 4 bars even sitting in 95 degree stand still traffic. With 2 fans they run a much shorted time to bring down the temperature. Anyway I'm glad I found this site and again thanks for all of the helpful advice. I'll try to post some pictures, hopfeully I do this right.
