Repaint on Jackson
08/04/10 2:19 PM

Had my ZX14 since 06. I repainted it once to look like this

Went 20K miles on that job and I banged it up good..so I re painted it last weekend. This is what I came up wid..

I have added a bunch of stuff to the suspension added a Brocks full system added a power commander ignition module and re mapped via the best ..Ivan,etc etc etc - AND finally added some cleaner hard bags for my trips..so this is what it looks like now with the bags

sooooo..I hit the road this weekend for yet another 7k trip. MR. Kawi you make good bikes..and no one beats Ivan and his maps..& his service ..good people. My bike runs smoooooooooooth and fast.

ps..I made those smooth side panels by "modifying" the old ones. Amazing what a little grinding, bondo, fiberglass, primer, sanding, and a touch oh primer & paint can do ..lol

very nice paint job i think if you got your wheels black chromed it would really set off the paint job.

thanks guys..It turned out okay for how fast I did it. I can see anything is possible with a re paint ..but ...huge time comes into view and health concerns if you are not careful! I also note that it is not easy coming up with the exact right graphic for the shape of the bike. You can go horribly wrong if you don't watch it ..I actually think the Kawi designers got some of the color schemes for the original paint jobs way wrong ..but its personal thing this asthetic stuff..and others would disagree..

scottjkyl you mentioned the wheels ..Ya I had another plan for the wheels..Was going to do black and crome ..but ran out of time as I have on a few other things with the bike which will have to be addressed later ..My brother gave me hjis silver wheels from and 07 . He now runs the same bike ..but man he went way nuts on his. He has his tuned to the max..threw 10 grand easy at it!!

the paint job is wonderful. The bags are a necessary evil for touring. I don't care for luggage on a sportbike but I'd have it too if i was into extensive travel on the 14.

ninjamaster yup ..used fiberglas..but prepared the plastic with a product that allows for the adhesion of the fiberglass first. A fist sized stone off a truck had smashed my lower fairing at the front ..completly repaired that ..with fiberglass and bondo..worked. Fixed other bangs as well
