A&A Performance may develop one, but as of yet they have not begun to do it.
Nobody else has created one. Possible that someone has purchased the parts and done it, but its far more complicated than installing a turbocharger, so unlikely. You'd have to rip out the ram air stuff under the tank cover etc. etc. etc.
I have been in contact with A&A because I live relatively close to them, and so if they decide to do it, they will let me know.
It would be sweet, for sure.

Your right Priv... Don't know why it's not working, copy and pasting it does though...
Try this one:
I don't like the way it fits on the bike though... Sticks out a bit much.

Still loads About:Blank page, not sure why.
A&A Performance thinks they can bury the supercharger itself under the tank cover, after removing the ram air stuff. This means they have to use a 20 or 25 instead of a bigger unit. So lower HP gain. Still 245ish so not bad.
But I'm not sure they will ever do it. If, as I still think, KHI is not coming out with a radically upgraded ZX14/15 they might not because the ZX14 is long in the tooth and fading sales.
If KHI pumps out a new version, then it would make more sense to do a supercharger for that.
Oh by the way, another reason I think there is a chance KHI might really have a new beast to announce, is the number history: ZX10, ZX11, ZX12, ZX14. We have had two even numbered models in a row. Its time for an odd number. And a 1429 would be a ZX15. On the other hand, 1429 is a standard Stage 2 engine build size already, so someone may just be hoping that what Carpenter et. al. already do, KHI will adopt. Off topic, sorry.

Not sure why the link doesn't work... Tried it several times with no success, have posted other links with no probs. The only way I got it to work was to copy and paste it into my browser. Kinda interesting though, other than the packaging issues that I don't like.

Was just checking out the A&A Performance website and they use Rotrex superchargers in their systems. I see that they also say the 14 supercharger is coming soon? That would be cool... They do a much better job at packaging the system to make it mostly invisible...likin' it.
seems like my long legs would hit that inlet tube....6'5"...
know whatcha mean adamsg, I'm 6'3" and that pipe is right about where my leg would be while riding also! Hope that's the inlet tubing!
