Keen to know from owners of current model ZX14's what perf mods that they have done.
Have tried looking for a decent forum but have got sick of the BS stretch ya swing arm sort of shit.
At this stage I have only bought some pipes and a bloody screen...

Isn't a turbo a basic mod?

Quickshifter and pc5 is the must do.
Have a woolich ecu tuning package. I did this after sending ecu away for reflash. Get the woolich package don't waste time sending ecu away.
Mine got akra headers because its only race system with twin outlet.
I have Yoshi cans which fit the akra header system. The full akra system was to expensive but the combo was a grand cheaper.
To get the quickshifter kit the way I wanted it I put voodoo rearsets on.
If your in welly you can program your ecu with my system. They allow you to do the same model legally for people you know but not for payment.
drop the front fork height 15-20 mm and it wont go up as bad in 3rd. I increased the rebound also.

All good only takes 15 mins to dump program and de-restrict it. Do that when your here.
I got a brocks performance reflash and it was running under 300. Program with woolich has it running excess 300 on a less than perfect day.

The best mod is to sell it and buy a hayabusa. Easily the most modified bike of the last 10 years.
Alternatively buy this...

I had to laugh when I read this...when I was shopping for a new bike the ZX14 was on my list but got a Busa instead...ultimate top speed is of zero interest to me. Being able to get a few choices when it comes to aftermarket bits was only part of the reason I chose the "slower" of the two hyper bikes.
But yeah, reading any American forum and seeing the hype that goes with stretching swing arms and the like turns me off big time fast as well. And the next pet hate has to be how wide a tyre can I fit? But them yanks are so far into drag racing it's a wonder they can still turn a bike...

zx14r riders tend to be very careful responsible people. Crash Bungs not normally required.
My next item will be a steering damper but the ohlins brocks kit is a few pennies. It may need be a xmas present to myself.

Yeah, I rode recently with a ZX14 rider ... he was so fucking slow my mate on a cruiser went passed him on full noise ... we both got bored and left him behind ..
(On the other hand, I was following a different mate with a ZX14 on the Western Bays road round Taupo .. at 245 klicks (on my speedo) he opened the throttle and left me like I was standing still. I was realistic and waved bye bye ...)

Turbo it. Then supercharge it.
Then NOS it.
Then swing-arm it.
Then get a nazi helmet.

Yeah mate, have decided after riding it that I'll probably just do cans (done), screen (done), tail tidy (just need to fit) , pack rack and then adjust the suspension and then consider upgrading it.

Tell me you did the headers with the cans?
Otherwise its a complete waste of money on a purely cosmetic mod

Yes theres a cat in the headers.
I put akrapovic headers on after buying a set of yoshis.
Akra is the only header that has twin pipe outlet.
I have my old headers with cat removed if you want them.

Nope I didn't and to be honest 210hp was enough to manage 100kmph and be able to get along quite well if doing more.
Always has cracked me up when people feel the need to take things even further when they really can't ride the stock bike to its limits anyway :sunny:

Wouldn't make it much faster by any any means, but it would make the engine a little less asthmatic. Put one of those cans in a band saw and do a cross section and you will be shocked how much at how simple they really are. Pretty much a peformrated pipe wrapped in a blanket of a certain thickness to comply to a certain noise rating to keep the popos and concerned residents happy.
Extractors (headers) are one of the best bang for buck mods you can do for a vehicle. Put them on a straight 6 or a v8 car and there is almost a instant difference in power delivery.
My busa came with scorpion cans and no headers. I would put headers on it as they are around half the price of the cans but I have something much better planned in the horse power department.
How are you finding the bike anyway? Didn't you trade in a diavel or some shit for it?

What cans and screen did you put on? I bought a R&G tail tidy and Two Bros Black Series carbon cans and I'm stoked with both those editions.

I have a busa which for the moment makes enough power for our roads, so I've been putting my money into making it more comfortable to ride for longer periods of time. Just order Helibars for it and I'm considering which seat to order right now.

Have bought a tail tidy and will be fitting it shortly. Have fitted a Zero Gravity dark screen and a pair of M4 Retro slip ons.
I'll take a pic at some stage mate
