Don't forget the 10% hp gain...  ;)

I think that would be questionable.  Perhaps combined with other modifications, but not just swapping a muffler on a C-14.  Of course, I have no data to back it up (but I doubt anyone has data to refute it either).

Anyway- like most others, I really don't see the point of replacing the fan blades.  I don't think I have ever seen a single post about the plastic fan blades melting or breaking, or being nosier than metal.  Don't think I have ever read about the Concours overheating, either.


He's talking about Muzzy's full system, which includes the header, not just the mufflers.  It's pretty well documented that a full system upgrade on these bikes will give 10% or more HP gain.

That, I would believe.  But there is no gain from just changing the C-14 muffler/silencer (which LOTS of people seem to believe).  Now that I re-read what ZG originally said and then replied to, I see your point...

"I'll take Muzzys full dual system over [...]"

My bad.

i doubt you can get 10% power increase at the top with a full system. But lets just say that you can.
Who rides at the top of the rev range. Do you just want to carry around a dyno sheet and show people?
When you go for more dyno numbers at the top you give up something down low . You know, useable power.
Do you think Kaw engineers are complete idiots ?
Dont beleive the hype on these bolt on power adders. Its mostly bullshit.

I do.

Also, here's Fuelmoto's dyno chart.  First run is a stock bike.  Second run is with the flies out, AreaP full system, and a power commander.  There are significant gains EVERYWHERE in the power curve which I can personally vouch for as I have an identical setup.

I have the Muzzys fans installed (yes, I know you're shocked lol).

My one complaint is that the C-14 replacment fan kit that is sold by Muzzys has both fans at the same size - the smaller of the two. I was tempted to purchase the replacement fan sold for the ZX14 (since that bike only has the one big fan, not the second smaller fan) to see if it was larger and then swap it, but my wallet 'splained that I didn't have that much of an issue with heat - so I never did do it.

As you will have surmised by now, the Muzzys fan kit will set you back around $80. Not cheap. In hindsight, I think it's a solution chasing a problem.
Madness does not always howl. Sometimes, it is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, Hey, is there room in your head for one more?

I hate it when you guys confuse the issues with facts.
