There's a company that makes a CF fender for the ZX14.  I think it's the same people that make the rear hugger?  Anyway, I know for sure they make a front fender and the guage cluster surround in CF and it will fit the C14.  Let me do some snooping for the links.

Found 'em.  http://www.powerbronzeusa.com'd start with these guys

I've found tons of CF front fenders, just no lowers...  :-\

Hey Brother, if you are bored how about helping the rest of us out. I know I could use a set of Ohlins! ;D

"Try these guy's. http://www.dragonplate.com/ Used them for some robotic part's at work." From Old man on a Connie, the other forum.

This looks promising. Get someone who knows how to work with the stuff and buy a couple sheets, Doubt there will be anything aftermarket, as Kawasaki only had that set up for 2 years :( Maybe the newer model may get some depending on how long they keep the fairing style.

Bored? How about splurging on a McCruise control.

Hopefully you'll get something on the go, maybe, if I can I'll see it at the National in Idaho.

Ya, I remember the pics of yours NW, but I'm trying to find true carbon fiber, at least until I exhaust all my options...  :-\
 
I sent David Cork an email last night, I'm hoping he knows of a source somewhere in the world that makes em...  :-\

You could always make your own. Carbon fiber isn't that hard to work with and you have your current panels to make a mold with. I cannot do stuff liek that as I don't have the "touch" if you will (same reason I can't do finish carpentry) but I've seen video of people making stuff and it doesn't look all that hard.

I'm not really experienced in doing something like that at all, therefore I don't want to attempt it and have it look less than A+ grade, I'm quite picky on what goes on my bike's, A+ or nothing...
 
I'll keep looking and maybe get lucky, if not then I'll just not do it, I just thought it would look kinda cool...  :-\
