How did your frame sliders hold up? I've heard about issues with those snapping the frame on the 14.
Well the left slider broke the motor mount. Luckily its a $35 part (dep on dealer 32-40) and relatively easy to fix. I tore the bike down to frame, engine (in frame) and rear wheel. Thats all that stayed attached. Everything else came off. Rebuilt whole front, wheel rotors triple tree etc, and got the green body work from a kawasaki dealer in Michigan, Had the whole $4500 set for $999... set 32 of 50 limited kawa lime green. Took about three weeks or so to fix eeverything and the body work comes bare...have to swap gromets screws pads etc all over. But it sure looks nice now....
