Hello to all I just picked up my 14 on friday and was able to just take it around the block it has one mile on the odo and I can't wait to take her on the highway. I have some pics but I'll need a lil help from a moderator to post but the pictures are nothing like the live and personal experience man this bike looks great in silver! I'm gonna do the muzzys new M14 thats coming out in 3 very long weeks LOL but it will well worth the wait. I need some help selecting the best stainless brake lines for this bike money can buy.

Congrats on a great purchase!!! There is a thead on how to post pics go to search and type in posting pics and you'll find it but all you have to do is go to Photobucket and set up a free acct and import your pics to there and then you can copy them into a post anytime you want.

Congrats on a badass bike. I looked at a silver one friday. I was gonna wait 2 weeks for my dealer to get a blue one in and on my way to talk to someone bout helping me get rid of my bike I had a car wreck which was technically my fault since I rearended someone, so now insurance will be going up which means no new bike anytime soon :(

Welcome, and congrats on getting a awesome bike...

as far as the lines... I have always had excellent luck with Speigler lines...plus, they have alot of color combinations.

dam chris I'm sorry to hear that man. First was the damage to the other vehicle severe? If not would the other driver consider you paying for the all the damages or is he/she a sue happy f+*ker!

ChrisB · 04-07-2008, 06:26 PM

the other car only had a few scratches. we had to do a police report so itll go on my record. not sure bout other states but in lousiana if you rearend someone its automatically your fault no matter what happened. I was originally planning to wait till next spring to get my 14 I just happened to stumble across a pretty good deal now so I guess Ill have to wait awhile and see what happens.

congrats and welcome

post pics soon

r1 daveone · 04-07-2008, 07:08 PM

Dude I hope u have there name and number cause if its just scratches tell em to get an estimate and if its not too late not to notify the insurance company cause I know the police wont its your responsibility to do so but if they notified there insurance company then its too late unfortunatly. Its prolly only a few hundred dollars in body work and paint

ChrisB · 04-07-2008, 07:12 PM

it was a rental car so yea my insurance has already been notified. they called me this morning.

You are going to love this bike! I have 17,000km on mine after only a few months, and it has been heaven.

r1 daveone · 04-10-2008, 07:14 PM

just wanted to say thanks for all the warm welcomes from everybody that posted on this thread and wanted to update on the bike I just took it for a spin yesterday evening with a few of my friends two of which also have 14's and the bike is nothing short of a bike riders dream, it has a comfort level unlike anything out there and enough horse power to lend a few ponies to other bikes out there. My plans with the bike in the very near future is to put some minor mods on her like the lowering link, adjustable stand, frame sliders, fender eliminator, M14 Megaphone exhaust, mapped power comander, k&n air filter all from muzzys also a GPR damper,stainless brake lines, light smoke double bubble screen and the bling factor chrome wheels will prolly be it for this season I'll keep posting as I get and install all the goodies on my new toy.

Don't do it all to fast you won't have anything to do to it next year

humm I think I may leave a thing or two for next year but I'll have to save my pennies for a 240 or 280 kit not sure which one yet but I have a year to decide. Oh by the way I ordered all my muzzy stuff on Friday from muzzys and yes I know they sell there stuff a lil higher than other sites but I didn't want to have to wait any extra time for my exhaust that still has a two week waiting period now but Ill be ordering the rest of my stuff from different supplyers this week so in a couple of weeks I'll have my share of work cut out for me since I'll be installing everything myself with one of my boys help so I'll save a few bucks on installation not to mention all the love that goes into it when you have the ability and resourses to do that.

Minor? holy smokes dude, that list sounds like a few thousand dollars at least!!

my freind no disrespect but a few thousand in mods for any bike is minor now when you you talk about 5-6 grand thats mildly moded and if your spending 10 g's plus thats a heavily custom machine does anybody agree?

BlueBomber14 · 04-16-2008, 09:24 PM

I think it's all relative to how many G's U have in your pocket before you start....or is that after you've finished????

I spent enough at this point to consider mine Heavily modified when I look in my wallet but only mildly modified when I look at the wish books!!!
