I don't feel like this latest black-&-lime-green color scheme is gettin' as much e-love as might've been expected, so I'm hereby making a suggestion for your next.  Here's the 2014 ZX14R in the white Ohlins scheme. Please omit flames if you do this

I actually think the C14 looks neat in white... which is surprising coming from me, since generally I really don't like white vehicles (especially cars).

Here's the 2014 ZX14R in the white Ohlins scheme. Please omit flames if you do this  :-\ ... although gold emblems and a gold highlight or 2 might work; you've already got gold wheels, gold forks, gold rotor brackets and gold-ish exhaust pipes.




That is sexy indeed CSK, gotta love the full Ohlins with gold wheels!!  :thumbs: :thumbs: 8)


I've had white bikes before, but IMO white on a Connie just looks a little too LEO for me...  :-\




But... I have already been thinking about what to do for next winters project, I posted my green bodywork for sale awhile back but no serious interest yet, so thinking about maybe repainting that green bodywork set another color...  :-\

Ive got an idea jay... Instead of spending the money on new paint, leave it the same color for a while, and buy me an exhaust that doesn't look like a pumpkin cannon and weigh as much as a smart car ;) ;) ;) :chugbeer:

. Haha I wish! All our monetary efforts right now are going towards buying a house... Either being put in savings, or paying off one of the vehicles before Im Elegible for the VA Home loan in november. The only reason Im buying a seat next week is cause the mrs felt how god-aweful the stock one is and finally understood that I wasn't on crack!  Lol!  Ill probably get a delkevic eventually... Not any time soon tho.

Jay - I guess you've ruled out trying to adapt this scheme to your bike? ... maybe without so many decals.

Eddie Lawson...hmmmm.....might work.  Lot more real estate to cover but if done right it would be outstanding.

ZG, your bike is a tough one, for me, since the paint is nto the highlight..again, for me...

The forks are so amazing, and will be even more so when you do the Brembo M50 calipers.  The dark colors tend to emphasize the trick forks and such, and I like that.
