Carrozzeria Wheels ready for the ZX-14
Spent the morning with Matsu and miss-zx for the final fitting on the
ZX-14 wheels. Matsu had everything pretty much ready to go except
his front stand would not work on the ZX - so, its call mama and yell
"help" ...... we need a front stand. We worked on the back wheel and
got it done just before she showed up - the front was easy once Beth
got there with the stand. (and Starbucks) 
Matsu had to make a couple adjustments on the rear spacers and the
fronts he measured previously were spot on.
Now for the weigh in ......
Stock wheel assy rear: 37.5 lbs (wheel, tire, brake & sprocket)
Carrozzeria assy rear: 30.1 lbs (wheel, tire, brake & sprocket)
Stock wheel assy frnt: 29.1 lbs (wheel, tire & brakes)
Carrozzeria assy frnt: 26.0 lbs (wheel, tire & brakes)
Easy to see .... 10.5 lbs of rotating mass. Even Matsu was pleased with
the numbers we saw, he had expected a little less than that in savings.
Carrozzeria / Matsu are A-1 ....... Thank You !
Bob

Bob, you gonna do some suspension work?
I'm 210 geared, and the suspension seems to need some help.
Thinkin of Ohlins rear, and ohlins cartridges and heavier springs.

Does Ohlins have a rear shock out yet?
Penske told me they would give me 10% off the list price of $795 if I sent my shock in for a model. Not really a deal so I passed. I'm having a local motorcycle suspension shop respring and revalve my front and rear suspension.

Yep ..... im about 215 geared. On my ZRX i've got Ohlin froks and shocks, what
a difference in handeling they made on that bike.
Im just waiting on Ohlins for the 14 !

Do any of our ZX10R owners know if the forks will bolt up? FBA? Fish?

It's hard for me to recommend Carrozzerias after I received this non-matching set for my 12R. Sent them back, and even spoke with Matsu. When they returned them, they still didn't match. And they cost me $1500:

The handeling is soooooo different, kinda like when I did the Dymags
on the ZRX. I cannot start to explain what 10.5 lbs of rotating mass
does for handeling .... its awesome ! This morning when I rode it felt
like a whole new bike all over again.
Now Matsu had the new Pilot Power Two's on the wheels, so the
combination of the wheels and PP2s really really changed every-
thing quite a bit. All I would say is this is a must do mod.
Start a "kitty" for your wheels ......... You'll be happy you did !
