My tape measure reads metric and inches! :woohoo:
Depends on what youre more comfortable working with,and yes 3/8" motor mount bolts are a big improvement over the loose fitting 8mm stock stuff you just need to ream the holes out. B)

If you have the zx14 lower, it's possible the stem is really thick and can be machined to take kz bearings without having to change out the stem.

I think it's time for an update (its only been 2 years)

So the carbon fiber work is now complete, the ZX14R front end has been fitted, a LED headlight has been installed, and I have swapped out a few bits and pieces around the bike.











Things to complete: Get a custom swingarm to accomidate the ZX14 rear wheel, figure out what i'm going to do about the seat, upgrade the engine.

Nicely done Scotty. How do you like the headlight? I put one on my bike but its still in pieces. I'm hoping it was a good investment. It looks great and fits great but have no idea if its bright enough.

I think I remember seeing some threads on a ZRX forum about squeezing a Zx14 rim into a stock Zrx11 or 12 arm.

The headlight is awsome!!! It is just as bright as the HID headlights but draws less energy and produces less heat. Definatly worth the money.
