Yes mate, I've been a member for a few months and I think Kiwi graham, beyond and someone else lurk in there.

I don't contribute to the forums but it is packed to the gunnels with brilliant info on the 14, however, it all takes a bit of finding if your not used to it. It is a bit like navigating a labyrinth but stick at it and you'll find everything you ever needed to know and more.

The only down side for me is it's UK based, so if they recommend something it's more often than not available off the shelf anywhere in the UK, when you try sourcing the same product from these shores ya keep hitting dead ends.

Keep browsing, pretty much anything that is possible for a 14 has been done on there.

Have fun.

At least it's not a US-based owners' site. I have flirted with both the ST1300 and FJR1300 sites. Pedantic and tedious. And some people think that Kiwi Biker is heavily moderated...

UK sites rock..awesome add on's that you can't get off USA sites.. And yup more openly than this site..

Yep I'm on it

Its a good site with heaps of info. Use the search facility to find what your looking for. Pretty much all that can be done to the 'magic carpet' been documented in there.

It is UK based but there is a Ausie/Kiwi section for us south of the equator.
If your after bling parts you have to pay pounds which make it expensive and deal with the time delay in getting your goods. If its spares your after breakers in Ausie are worth looking up and ther is one being broken in Ngarawahia (Bikebusters 078247705- Wayne) at the moment (dont know how much is left!)

Enjoy

Yep, I'm on it too have posted a fair bit at times, not much lately.
Good info, help when you want it and like others have said the bits they talk about cheap, don't come cheap once you pay for it in UK pounds in Kiwi bucks and freight etc/

But a darn good site and everything about 1400's you want. Become a member and you get access to the full workshop manual too.

Smokin Joe, Rotorua based is on there too and I think Jrandom is a member as well.
There's a few of us on 1400's now which is good to see.

I am a member (as RiderInBlack of course, see: New Ta Here, Riderinblack & Around Of Beers ), but have ta wait for Full Membership to get at the Manual (the not so little boy waits).

I lurk there occasionally. It's a good forum.

But then, what else would you expect - riding a GSX1400 is an infallible sign of class, taste and all-around gentlemanliness.

Funny innit, ya get to know a bloke, as time goes on ya think, what a helpful friendly guy, still more, ya learn to trust him, then ya turn ya back and the git stabs ya between the shoulder blades. I WANT ONE!

On a more grown up note, well done you, lovely piece of kit, so jealous but very pleased for ya.

Where are the pictures? Can I have a go?. Enjoy Gray.
