    ZX14: Tell me about yours

    I really don't want to sit on it again for a day or two,the 2012 seat is better then the 2007 seat, but there's always room for improvement,years ago I carved out a zrx seat and installed 3/4" of high density camp foam(the blue mats from le baron)made a difference of 150 km more
