Corbin seat, Top Block sliders, Heli risers, Targa tank bra, Phils rack

 
Powder coated wheels black

 
Full Muzzys dual system, low profile smoke tint blinkers

 
Corbin smuggler

 
2012 passenger grab rails, CeeBaileys dark tint windscreen

 
Smoke color braided lines with black banjo's, Tech Spec, Precision Engineering multi-adjustable bars

 
Full Ohlins front & rear, black powder coat (sliders, swing arm, rearsets, etc)

 
 
 
 
How about anyone else, any progression pics of your C14's??

Oh goodie, more pics of J's bike.   

[VirginiaJim]

All I see is black...  Which one is the starting one and which one is the ending one?

[gPink]

I don't like those spots of silver showing all over the bike. You would think someone would do something about that.

[VirginiaJim]

I wouldn't.  It's the only thing helping the bike's performance.

In all seriousness, the bike does look smashing!

    Sorry C, I was bored last night and going through old shots...

I agree, some of the changes are subtle, like the black hand rails, but as a whole really changed the look of the bike IMO...

Are you talking about the bolt heads GP? I kinda like the way they break it up a little but I'm still undecided on going to a full black bolt set or black bolt head caps or something... 
 

In all seriousness, the bike does look smashing!

Thanks Sparky! 

[gPink]

Just joking Jay. They do give contrast to the black. Gold highlights would look awesome with the Olin's. ProBolt might have what you would need to do it. The branding in gold would look good also.
I love spending other peoples money.

Fun fun.    Personally, I can't see any bike, just a black zone in the photos

[just gone]

I don't have any progressive pics, but looking at these I've noticed something about the bars.
In pic one we see the bars stock, then in 3 we see the risers installed, then in 8 we see the adjustable
black bars. I may be seeing things wrong, but the difference between 1 and 8 seems quite minor (referring to bar position
not the amount of blackness  ). They seem about the same height or lower and maybe only a half inch further back.
Was it worth the expense for that half inch? 

Oh and refresh my memory, in the day one Brand new picture, did you have the bazooka replaced
before delivery?

  ZG's camera will wear out much sooner than his C14. 

[ZG]

Ok, I just added some text to each of the pics to help point out what changed along the way...

Yes FM, I had the Muzzys slip-on and rear fender eliminator put on at the shop before even riding it home, I knew right away I could never get past the looks of the oem rear fender and massive potato launcher. 
 
As for the bars, yes they are in a much different possition now with the PE bars, I think what you're seeing is just different angled pics and also in pic one the bars are slightly turned (notice the front wheel direction)...

[Kinetic1]

She turned out great Jay. Just beautiful. You should send it to me to ride and I'll send you mine to farkle.....deal?

Methinks mesees a trend here- it is like those number progression sequences from the fourth grade, right? What will the next picture look like? This is my guess....














Keep scrolling....
























Scroll some more (it will be worth it, really)....
























TADA!

           Now that's nice Brian!!

You are only saying that because you did not see the white pixel near the middle.

 

But seriously, did you ever think of blacking out the ABS sensors and <perhaps> the rotors? The ABS sensors would be easy enough (paint, powder coating, whatever you wanted) but the rotors would prove tougher. Carbon fiber rotors would do the trick but I don't know if any are available and even if they were, most likely for the ZX 14 if at all, they are going to be pricey. You have to admit that those are the last obvious silver parts that are really noticeable on the bike, at least from the side.

I think I am going to black out my headlight housing when I install projectors. Not all that much area but removing all the shiny chrome will have a very noticeable effect, at least I think so. Then again I am thinking of installing a third headlight like that short person in the movie Total Recall. :-)  There is room in there for an additional projector but I do not really want the extra current draw on the alternator. Then again, I only ride long distances at high speeds at night when I am alone so the alternator could handle the lights and all of my heated clothing…. Hmmmm.

Hmmm... carbon fiber rotors eh, I like how you think! 
 
Have you seen the newly released Total Recall yet? The 3 headlight girl in it is better looking than in the prior Arnold one...

If you could have the raised Kawasaki letters on the fairing smoked out, not the same black as the fairing, but blacked out, that would look really cool.
