My other half swapped BB (52' ) for ZZR1400(06)
Hi, my other half (Bubble) px'd his 52' for a 06' (non abs) ZZR1400.
The things that have been done to bring it to a suitable standard:-
1.MCT mod - front forks - new upgraded springs and oil (BB)
2.Wilbers rear shock with remote preload (BB)
3.New front brake disc's(the Stop shop) and SB pads front & rear.
4.Sw motech rear rack (BB)
5 SW Motech V35 pannier rails (BB)
6.New Plugs/oil/Air(BB).
7 Rocker cover gasket and valve check (original gasket was too thin - hence leaked down to side stand and bike 'skided over 06-07 only')
8 Centre Stand (like the BB)
9.Beowolf cans & DYNO (BB) - 174 Bhp @ back wheel.
10.Replacement 'seat by 'Bootleg seats - Preston'(BB)
11. Lowered rider pegs (BB) - Buel modified.
12 Radiator Guard (BB)
13.Crash bungs (BB)
14.Avon storm 2 - ultra's (BB)
15 Bar risers (BB)
These were costed/expected prior to changing to the ZZR 1400.
Pro's - Bloody fast and comfortable, handles (now) like on rails, has the 'Manic Kwak Magic'(you have to know this-lol),turning circle much better/easier, weight low.
Con's - High insurance, not as stable in the winds as the BB, will eat petrol if you let it LOL.
Yes you can do silly speeds but you can on the BB - you decide not the bike- the ZZR justs get there quicker.
The pick up from 6th gear is NOT as good as the BB- you have to change down to 5th on the ZZR1400 for the same result.
But Bubble had the ZZR 1400 itch and has had ALL 3 types of BB (YES the CARB IS THE BEST).
Ps BB stands for the items that most owners have changed /done.
Sara B (I STILL HAVE A BB- INJ '2000' and 'he ' lets me ride the ZZR1400 as well!!!)
