    ZX14 owners read this

    Have a look at this auction and read the comments by the vendor and prospective buyers re: stones hitting the radiator, crikey!

    Mine already had one fitted when I got it. But as Bugjuice said, all bikes with a radiator is prone to stone damage

    Some bikes come with the radiators mounted on the side, they won't get hit by stones but tend to be prone to damege if you drop the plot.

    And last time I looked the good crash bungs for a VFR cost over $600!

    Those guys seem pretty honnest and transparent. I wonder if anyone here has been down to look and check the engine over?

    Yee Haa Kimosabe! Tonto thanks you.

    SCed 14s are rare as Chris. Most go with turbos and NoS.
