My ZX14 USD front end arrives tomorrow...pics to come

[RUSS M8]

Should be good... Hoping to get the time money to do the engine in my Bandit this year...

Will be interesting to see how that front end goes.

[chadams]

The pink barrels look a little red in the pics...
oh well another coat of candy pink will fix it.

[speeddemon]

Batteries sold seperate, but it vibrates too...

Now dont go giving away your hot pink colour scheme for the motoplast chad!

[speeddemon]

Barrels r in with the usual fricking around with rings (thank good for hose clamps)

Is that piston back to front?

Is your cam chain stretched? ... (and peel the red plastic off before fitting it mate). Should look the goods speedy,very bright but different.

[Gix11]

Different is good! Be interested to see how this one shapes up James.

[Tone]

Phhwwooaaaar...gonna be a bit flash innit?

[speeddemon]

Its not as bright as it looks - flash effect

The ZX14 USD's

OK now Ive got em I fill you in ZX14 USD's & why they r great?

They r about only 5mm shorter than 1100 USD's - hard to find USD's with length
43mm forks so a bit thicker than the other 41mm radial front ends
320mm discs! radial calipers!
Headstem is as long as the Bandits! easy retrofit

I have a set of USD,s, yokes, radial calipers, fender and a brand new front wheel with new discs on its way for a a quarter of what wreckers charge here (I luv US ebay) all air freighted!

[speeddemon]

And before Chad goes yabbing his motor mouth off - yes i did forget a frickin dowel on the bottom of the barrel and had to pull the barrel off and redo the ring clamping saga again! i hate it give me a single anyday.

[RUSS M8]

should look trick with the radials!

you done anything else to the engine... mayeb abit of head work, cams?

[speeddemon]

Just a tidy up on the head and proper value angle cut- Will port it one day but not interested in 750 inlet cams or Yoshi Stg1 yet. The bike does have a full Ti header/exhaust which gives real good power.

[chadams]

it will be worth all the friggin around.... it is looking pretty sweet...... who knows what next year will bring...

[Fish]

So how's that front end coming? looks good from here. The radials are off the zx14 aswell?

[speeddemon]

front end will be put together this weekend hopefully. mor epics then

All the bike built up now - start her tonight me thinks.

All radials brakes fit current forks - I believe zx14's are nissin

Weve` all done the dowell thing[}:)]i had two on once[}:)]nice front end[:p]from the old you wont believe the strength & precision.heres` at tip;)get piece of glass(6mm)&run it across the chromie bits;)see if it rocks[^]if it does they are not parrallel[8D]

[speeddemon]

flatslides are on - started it up this morning - nice....now for some jetting this weekend!

[speeddemon]

Flatslides need more time than I have available - have put back on Cv's but it runs sweet.

Dyno time tomorrow morning!!! and front end currently getting sorted -

pics and dyno chart to come!

[RUSS M8]

How much work to get the front end in? Use the Kwakka stem...if it will fit... with some spacers? And I wonder what top tripple... :)

[Ed74mnd]

Hey Speed,

nice work,

did you do anything special to bed the new rings in?

also will you do full power runs on the dyno before everything is run in?

I'll at a similar stage (almost) with my motor.

Cheers

Ed

[chadams]

Ed just red line the thing.... that will break it in for you.... ride it like you stole..

[speeddemon]

Shit oil - Rode about 45 mins around twisty back streets - 15 mins to the dyno at alternating criuse. Then dyno while I pray............

As long as the engines not brand new don't worry, no probs - just flog it. 130 bhp (but spastic midrange) but need to ajust float height. another dyno this Sat me thinks.

[RUSS M8]

130 hp, still with the CV's???

Sounds like MAD fun with BIG BORE mid range!!! Should save on some front tire wear!!! :D

[speeddemon]

It has Stage 3 Factory pro, dual BMC filters and Yoshi full system so those help too.

[speeddemon]

Spent the day cutting chunks from my loom to put on the Acewell dash comp, but all good now - got every idiot light working. Put the ZX14 front end on - thanks Ben at EC for machining to get it to fit proper.
