My ZX14 in Sport Touring Mode

[Hulked Up]

Would those Givi bags hold a full face helmet?

I bought the 2008 ZX-14 in Atomic Silver.

Farkles so far include: fender eliminator, heli-bars, Sporttech silver-chrome windshield and the Kawasaki touring windshield, Whistler radar detector, headlight modulator, brakelight modulator and race raillz.

I have a fully farkled up FJR for my touring duties including GPS, satellite radio, ipod, radar detector, GIVI top case, modulators, blah, blah, blah.

I like your cases on your ZX14. I'm not sure about the windshield. Nice pic.

As soon as the weather clears, I'm heading to Rich's for a modified seat like my FJR.

What brake modulator did you get?  How'd it fit?

Yes they do.  I have a set on my zx14 as well.  I can highly recommend them.  Much cheaper than the corbin as well.  You can also color match them.  Mine are color matched to my atomic silver 07 which was only available in Canada.

Here's a couple pictures with the Corbins.

Here's a couple pictures with the Corbins.

I've got that exhaust (in Carbon Fiber) on my ZX-14.  Did you have to turn it like that to make it fit with the Corbin bags, or did you do that because you like that aesthetic better?  Any pics of the insides of the bags?

[keendog42]

The pipes looked out of place due to the wide cutout to accommodate the stock cans so turning them sideways made them fit very well.

They should be coming in any day now. I had the dealer order the 'Back-off" brand... both headlight & brakelight. I have the Kisan headlight modulator & 4 of those little 3-LED brakelight flashers on my FJR.

Looks good - I'm still getting mine together. I'm going to go with the Corbin bags instead of the Givi's but man they're expensive. Here's a picture of it so far.

Looks good.  I really like that black wire mesh screen behind the fairing cut-out.

I had no idea that Corbin made such sweet looking cases for the ZX-14.  They really fit the bike well and aren't as oddly shaped as the older style beetle bags.  But OMG they're $$$$$!!!

Here's my ZX-14 in Sport Touring Mode.  I added the optional rear grab bar and went with the Givi PLX rack and V35 bags.  I then custom made a bracket to mount a Givi E360 for a top case.  It mounts over the rear seat rather then behind it.  I'll probably be adding the risers and a different screen, just haven't decided which one yet.

Slick looking bikes

Seeing these 14's all done up for touring (the availability of hard bags)... I think this will be my next bike.  Once a used blue or black one goes up for sale in my area I will pull the trigger.  So far all I've found are red ones... and we all know red is the slower colour (probably why they are for sale  ).
I was wrestling with the idea of a new connie 14, but I don't like the weight or the laid back riding position.  I prefer a sightly aggressive forward lean (like on my R6).

[Squareman357]

I had already decided that I was going to get the GIVI quick release racks and the PLX V35 bags based on the first pics in this thread, but these pictures really sold it to me.  Those bags look SO good on the ZX-14.  For you guys that have them, any chances of a shot of the bags opened, but packed with some stuff, just to see what I'm working with space wise?  I love forums...you can always get info and ideas for just about anything you're planning...

Man I hate you guy's, just when I thought I was satisfied with my current stable you all had to farkel up the Z14, They all look awesome. bete..   PS; Super Man cool!

What screen do you have on?  That does not look like the ZG touring screen.  It's a nice looking screen.

[HWYB8]

Hey guys, if you like my bike, I could use some help.  If you are on the ZX14Ninja.com forum I could use some votes for Bike Of The Month.  It's hard to compete with a stock bike, but I figured why not.  There are no prizes for the winner other then bragging rights.

I was thinking that this could be my next touring rig but I wish they would bring the ABS model to the US. I don't wish to start a flame war with that comment, I just think they should offer it like they do in Europe. Hell maybe they do now I haven't checked in a while.

Either way, gorgeous bikes guys.

That is the ZG Touring screen. I run the ZG during the cold months and run a Puig DB when the weather breaks in the Spring.

Took me long enough, but I finally "got 'er done".  She's a little dirty after pulling commuter duty this week and getting caught in the rain, and she'll likely remain that way another week as I'm in Willmington on business from Friday to next Wednesday, but from the brief test ride, she still feels A-OK  ...

VERY nice.
