What I would really love is a set of Top Blocks,  but I just can't swing or justify the price

Im concerned that the CC will get in the way of my new touring pegs or my legs while using them, these appear to set higher and should be clear. Plus they are $100+ cheaper. I am not really looking for complete protection, just as a slow slide or drop type situation i want to be able to ride it home.

The CC's make a great place to mound pegs.

If they are correct and there is an 07 C14, I'm going to be really pissed.  I thought I was an early adopter.  I'd be doubly pissed if I owned a '10 and found out it was really a gen1 bike (and paid more... :rotflmao: )  believing all that Kwakery about improved heat management and such...

100% correct! Mate of mine got his C14/GTR in September 2007. First one in SA if I'm not mistaken...thing is he's only put 15 000 km's on it so far...lol...just getting loose!  :)

That is still a 2008.

That may be so, but it's registered as a 2007 model, not a 2008!!

In the US it's considered an '08.  Outside the US, the laws must be different, eh?

I think it must be a time zone thing.

That is a quirk of your country.  They can call it anything they want, but it is a 2008 model.  Of course, I always thought the practice of releasing model years earlier and earlier and earlier was stupid and should be stopped.  Kinda like the Christmas "season" starting weeks and weeks earlier and earlier each decade.

Totally true that, my mate thought about trading his connie in on a new 2013 model, and just because it's registered as a 2007 model and not a 2008, the stealership wanted to knock off quite a substancial amount off....swines!! >:(  I agree, that practice should be stopped, but it wont unfortunately!

Mine is a 2007.
The UK license plates (tags) have the year on them and mine is an 07.
Bought new on Aug 5 2007 and yes Kawasaki call it a 2008 model even if it was available in the USA & Europe late July 2007 and earlier in Japan.
I call mine a 2007 coz it riles certain people  ;D 8) and since I never plan on selling it who cares what the "value" is.

As for the frame sliders, all except the Kawasaki/TopBlock ones are fugly, and those are over-priced.
If you like them, good for you. Just let me know if yer planning on riding over here with them and I'll close my eyes. <LOL>

At least you are thinking ahead...and not invoking the law of unintended consequences.  We see that quite often here.
