Looks good he's done a nice job not a fan of the spotters either I like a functional mirror over one that just looks good but everybody has there own thing nothin wrong with that. I like the painted front fork deflector panels I'm getting the chrome ones and the chrome side panels and painting the fins on them blue or reverse not sure yet.

I did forget to mention the blue neon led he has and pirelli corsa 3 he had put a few weeks ago. I finally got my first package with my sliders, fender eliminator, stand, fan blade, lowering link and shock stoppers. I left work early and put on the sliders and fender eliminator that will be it for today! Maybe during the week if I have some time I'll install the rest. I'm growing very impatient on the exhaust system tho the only thing thats keeping me from just going to TOCC the same place I got my chrome wheels and the same shop that did Rickey Gadson's 06 ZX14 back in the day from and getting the brocks alien head exhaust is the fact that I'm prolly going to be the first to have a M14 megaphone exhaust in the world! so its keeping me sane just barely.

Well time for an update on my work in progress with the 14; I intalled the frame sliders, fender eliminator, lowering links and ofcouse the chromies so far I'm now waiting for my M14 full exhaust and pre mapped pc from muzzys that I do have confermation for delivery on Thursday ( can hardly wait!!) its claimed that it will have 200 HP on the rear wheel!! After the install. Now its time for a lil stretching, talked to my freinds at Bucks County Kawasaki to order swing arm extenders, chain and stainless lines. I think I'm done for the season but not untill I get a carbon fiber rear hugger/chain guard combo and some other carbon accents that will blend nicely with the bike and my new joe rocket carbon helmet that is light as a feather not to mention that it looks sick as sh!t!

Busy, busy ....Let me know if you hit 200 on the dyno I'm a little skeptical 190-195 but 200 sounds like a stretch.. but not impossible I suppose. Let us know what the dyno says. And get some pics out here you can't tease folks like that with all those goodies and no pics.

Well I did it! Got the M14 and pc and installed it last night got done at about 11:30pm but its done! This thing sounds sick and the look is everything I was expecting. I originally wanted to take the baffle off but it sound good with it on. On another note I had an extra screw for the extra part box lol from the left side of the bike so I'll be taking it back apart today and giving it the first oil change to make it worth while even tho I only have 287 on the odo. I'll be posting the pics tonight when I get home!!

Look at this way the bike is lighter without the extra hardware....right

[r1 daveone]

LOL. I did find out were it went right behind the fin on the left side. On another note I put about 100 miles on the new exhaust last night and I noticed after a while or riding the exhaust sounded muffled in low rpms and the throtle had a lag it wouldnt respond right away after hiting it. Also when I clened her up today I noticed the megaphone is getting yellow! WTF this can't be normal!! I installed a pre mapped pc from muzzys can I have a bad map that can be causing all this sh!t?

[BlueBomber14]

Doesn't sound good I can say though that the map is very capable of making the exhaust sound much different and of course make the bike run poorly,hot if it is too lean or rough if it is to rich. I have a map that was custom burnt on the dyno with my bike and it sounds and runs pretty wicked but I can install a map someone else sent me from fuelmoto that is a generic map designed on a computer for certian mods and sent out when you purchase there product and it sounds almost as quiet as a stock bike at idle and is much less aggressive at all rpms.

The only real way IMHO to be sure is have a map made for your bike by a good tuner. Might cost you a couple hundred but well worth the peace of mind and in my case it runs so much better than any of the manufacturer supplied maps it's a no brianer. And you'll get a few dyno pulls to boot.

Thanks blue! I did some reserch yesterday call my buddy at a motorcycle shop and called muzzys as well anyway these are the solutions:
1. I have a stainless exhaust system and it will turn regardless but I could polish them every so often not a problem since I keep my bikes all in showroom condition and clean her everytime the day after riding so I'll just add the exhaust polish to my bike duties.
2. My pre map from muzzys is a base map and needs to be fine tuned to get the most out of it and perfect the pc not a problem either I taking it down today for that to get done and prolly dyno just for a piece of mind.

Update! I took the bike to Ricky Gadson's Sportbike Zone in Magnolia a few towns over from me here in Jersey and got my map problem resolved with a CUSTOM MAP which he does personally on every bike and had a BMC race filter installed and ofcourse got the dyno!!! Well the numbers were no where near what Muzzys posted on their site but never the less are the real deal so I have 182.7 HP at the rear wheel and 110.9 Torque which are not bad numbers never the less and my bike sound awsome and pulls though out all the rpms so in all I'm happy with my machine and the way it performs I also ordered the swingarm extensions,brake line and chain will prolly install in a few weeks cause I wanna ride this weekend if its nice out.
