Have a good look around the threads as loads of info here.

What mods are you thinking of ?
What year of gsx1400 do you have ?
I buy parts from all over the world for my 14.
Fork extenders are from Australia.
Power commander came via Germany.
Exhaust came via scot adds(local selling paper to north east scotland)
And loads of stuff via the good people here on the org.
And of course you have EvilBAY all depends on what your looking for.

Many thanks Seth. So bits are far afield. Just looking to slowly add to my bike.
Already had issues with oil cooler cover from ebay not fitting snug and need to fit spacers/washers cos it's a tad big.
Found site in Germany for belly pan. Need to keep searching online.

Depends on what deals you can get and where from .
Another good place is justbandits they have a range of gsx1400 bling/upgrade parts .
We don't get a discount but there prices are very fair.
Julian from justbandits is a member here.

You'll get there just takes a little time and patience .
Lots of parts come via here over time so also keep an eye on the forsale section.

Good luck
:cheers:

Mersolen welcome, one of the easiest mods is to simply paint it black.   :stir:

But of course if you want to go fast then blue and white is the way forward if your not sure about going really fast then black is a good start a bit like having training wheels when you were very young on your first bicycle

Tell that to Rogues & Red & Mike Seth, they possibly have a different perspective on it . . .


Just remembered, Rogues is now on a B/W.

I've got a fiver each way as well. Ride the blue more but would prefer the black if it was as tidy as the blue.
Could swap bits over and make the blue into a black I suppose. . .

I have thought of swooping the paint work between the black/red and blue/white.
Just to see if the top speed changes .

Seth you know it comes down to the riders skill and courage to take the 1402 to its limit to get the thrill and excitement one needs to say there the fastest  in blue. Black. Blue and white or slow just white  :stir:  :onya:

Yes I do indeed that's how I know mine are fast  :doh:

But I did wonder if changing bodywork made a difference to my bravery.
As when they go fast in any colour they are very scary.
