Hi all, I have been lurking on here for about a year riding my cruiser and trying to learn more about these machines, but I became a proud owner of a silver 08 yesterday. I cant believe how smooth that engine is and those are some serious brakes. Now if only the DMV were open on Saturdays.

You're gonna love it! -bg

Have fun....I think the DMV may be open today?

Took it around the block today and it had me giggling like a little girl. Come on Monday!

Hello to all.
I'm glad to be a part of the zx14 family. I'm a 2 year rider but a 3 week zx14 owner. I went from a 07 zx6 to a 09 zx14. I only ugraded cause of my height. I'm 6'6" tall and was was riding a 600. It looked like i was riding a scooter. So I had to get the big dog. Its like night and day. (The power that is) I allready 500 miles on it in 3 weeks. I'm debating on which pipes I want on it. I'm looking for the cheapest ones. I'm not looking for performace just sound. Rigjt now its between the d&d, m4's, and two brothers. If anybody have any ideas please let me know. Thanks for having me.

thank you.

....Welcome...do you really want to say..."thanks for having me?" JK!!!!!Enjoy yer new Rocketship!And please,be careful!

Welcome to both of you, this forum has been a HUGE help to me since moving to the 14 last spring.

ZX142009 - Check out my post with pic's here on the KR Tuned slip-on's I have audio samples and pic's etc... I've been riding them for over a month now and are very happy. The fit/finish is excellent, installation fit like a glove, and they sound awesome. I payed $599 for the carbon pipes, but $399 for the stainless is a killer deal in my book.

You can get a pair of them in stainless for $399 on EXTREME closeout direct from HotBodiesRacing.com (which is the sister outfit to KR Tuned products) and I honestly don't see how you could possibly beat that value.

Either way again, welcome to the boards, and congrats on the new bikes.

EDIT - I also wanted to mention that the KR pipes are tuned for stock config and run great with no need for a power commander etc... I'm sure it would only improve things but I have no plans of installing one at this time.

Welcome to the Dojo of Ninja Masters..... Grasshopper.

This my 4th bike in 15 years non of which had more than 55hp so this beast is a real eye opener! I am learning to respect its power and pay attention to what the speedo says because this thing glides so easy I find myself running alot faster than I thought I was doing. I actually try to go near the speed limit when cruising around town. This is the best bike I have ever owned.

thank you for that info ikeyes. I will check it out.

Welcome from a fellow fng. I have just got the 1000 mile break in complete. I hope u have as much fun as me. This forum has been great in gathering info

Oh yea fr8flyer I am having a blast. Rode 800 miles last week just around my area. I cant get off this beast.

welcome, have fun be safe live another day.
