let me make this perfectly clear,whilst it may be a great idea ,does any one know if its strictly legal if your under age for that kind of undertaking if not then i am vehemently against having ,owning or using one especially seeing as i don't own one.

i have received the correct part to allow me to fit my Puig screen with aerofoil similar to MRA screen.when we have better weather i will be able to ride the bike and see if its better.seems that long sinc e i rode (november probably) it may be difficult to compare. :whistling:

hi ZG thanks for the reply.i find the bike feels very heavy on the steering as if you have to lift its head in the corners? is this the Brickstone effect? i dont remember this feeling when i had a 2008 bike and sold it a couple of years ago.

Hopefully a little helpfull advice i made this turntable a couple of years ago with the lazy susan.i put a plate on top and underneath,the whole thing is now 1/2 inch plus thick and it makes for hard work to get some bikes up onto the centre stand. the second turntable i made was 2 3mm thick mild steel plates about 14 inches square with a hole in the middle and a bolt and nylock nut .smeared a bit of general purpose grease between the two plates and works a treat ,also has a much lower profile so easier to put the bike on.

Hi Everyone heres an update. all done and fitted.it was a mare of a job and whilst i was in there i discovered a leaky cam sensor o ring. got that changed also. for the bigger size o ring and hopefully cured that.heres a pic (hopefully ) after test ride then a thorough rinse down as there was salt on the roads.well worth the effort though sounds sweet looks awesome.
thanks to the forum for all the info. :clap:

Thanks for the reply Boomer.I also found the limk didnt work.
im glad i can remove the o2 sensors safely.im a step nearer to doing this i just won a pair of cans and link pipes for a zzr1400 on fleabay today.So by the weekend i will be cosidering removing all the plastics.i just want to check on Monday that alocal company that does dyno tuning and remaps can reprogramme my ecu.i want to make sure the fuelling is ok.they are also agents for pc's but i dont want to fit one as thats another bunch of money and as i understand it it doesnt address the opening of the flies. :smiley:

Hi everyone. im seriously considering the dual exhaust mod using a zx 1400 header.my question is this.the header i have is from a 2006 zx and has no cats or lambda sensors.is it ok to remove the 02 sensors? i see on fleabay an o2 eliminator kit for the gtr that has some blurb attached saying it is beneficial in performance terms.im not too concerned about performance gains im doing the mod for appearance,i just like duals on the gtr.Im just wondering is it ok to remove the sensors.
many thanks in advance.
