Zx14 ohlins edition

Maybe they were all stealership BS. But if someone had the details I would be interested in knowing? The lower rear was updated for strength so as to revise the broken frame issue somewhere back there?

The front was a possible degree change because the steering does feel different from a gen1 to a gen2. That, and possibly reinforcing the front for wheelie drops, but I doubt that. More neck changes because it does handle more neutral than a snap to neutral was more how the gen1 felt. Paint job. Clock cover 3. Ohlins available from on the 'sports' version That's it.
