2014 Kawasaki Z1000SX ongoing review

[Blade]

They look horrendous Kwacky and have they actually had any r&d or crash testing analysis?

I can recommend the GB Racing ones.

[Rossgo]

I personally would say R&G Or GB Racing ones, but the ones you've shown us Kwacky do look different but still not for me really

[Blade]

These are what I meant Kwacky and at least you know they are a proven product.

Maybe find a second hand set on ebay or a forum that's what I did and you will always get your money back when you sell them

The others maybe cheaper but if they dont hold up in a crash they are a expensive chocolate fire guard.

I've got GB racing on the ninja, but they don't do anything for the SX.

I'll keep looking.

These are an alternative.

[Rossgo]

T Rex are a well known company in the states, I had their sliders in the ZX6R which seemed very good quaility...Shame it got nicked a few days later

Isn't your engine a gen3 zx10r ? If that's the case I would imagine the crank cases are identical and the gen3 zx10r covers may fit the sx. Worth a call to GB Racing maybe

[Kwacky]

Mine is a 1053cc engine, not 998cc which is what I think the Gen3 is.

I'll ask but the covers don't look the same on the photos I've just googled. Decent suggestion though.

[Blade]

May be pop down the stealers and compare yours with a gen3 the extra capacity is most likely from a slightly longer stroke. Would make sense as saves money and develops more torque which your bike as all about.

[Kwacky]

I'll check online for the kwak spare parts catalogue to compare.

[Blade]

Sounds a good idea.

[Kwacky]

I've been emailing T Rex about their products. It's hard work


Me:-

Hi

Did you get my other email asking how much it would be for the crash bungs as well?

Thanks

T-Rex:

Yes, I did receive your email.

Thanks,
Martin

[Perkles]

lol what a salesman

[Kwacky]

4 times I had to ask him what the total was.

I've given up.

[Kwacky]

Clicked over the 12,000 mark today.

[Cav]

Ooooh.. miles!

I'm at 28,000 miles on the ZX6R, still strong

[Kwacky]

I think I'm on about the same on mine.

[Kwacky]

T-Rex have offered me a bundle of the engine covers plus the no-cut crash bungs with postage for less than it costs for the R & G set, plus I think they look better

They look better but they aren't as strong.. Sure they'd be fine for a carpark spill though

[Kwacky]

I'm going to look at them more than I'm going to test them
