I don't know what did it, maybe it was Somefun's pics, maybe Darryle's or the Galfer wave rear rotor seating on that blue wheel Rook posted. Maybe the inception took place the first time I saw Mass's ZX-14, or maybe I hit my head harder than I thought when I high sided. I'm not sure but the only thing that matters is that I have a set of BST's on the way!
I'm so exited that I started to buy parts to fix the bike out of my own pocket: The insurance is waiting for the shop so they can compare estimates but I just couldn't wait so right after purchasing the BST's, I hopped on ronayers.com LOL
They are a few other really nice upgrades I will be doing to the bike. Nothing crazy, but for the sake of suspense I won't tell until its done LOL. I like reading the Performance Bikes section in which rider talk about 10 years old bike with crazy up to dates bolt ons so that's the look I'm going for.
I know a lot of purists are going to yell: Blasphemy because after all those costs a pretty penny. Some others might say it's over kill and to those I say, the ZX-14 in stock form is over kill so... I may as well go waist deep.
It wasn't hard for me to cough up the cash because I was already saving for the Beemer. Also I had a MK2 shock, GPR Damper and a few other goodies for it. Items that I returned and was able to get a full refund toward the BST's.
I found and decent deal for $3599 plus $299 for ceramic bearings and a discount for those mysterious items mentioned earlier. After my high side I realized I couldn't afford two pretty bikes. I made a deal with the wife: I would finish "moding" the 14 and get a cheap ($3000-6000) track bike. Something I will trash on and off the track and hone my skills on so that I can enjoy riding my soon to be sublime 14 at a faster pace while being safer.
I'm expecting the wheels the beginning of the week after next so please if you're part of the BST RIDE FAST CLUB or other sexy wheel club lol post a pic of your wheels so that the days go by faster.
P.S. I should have a couple of items for sale in a about a week: Including my GOPRO HERO2 and of course BROWN RIMS
