Some guy on Facebook named “chopaleg” sells the needed axles/spacers to fit other wheels to the busa, but using some Home Depot hardware looking pieces according to Bryan @c10I definitely want to do this swap!

I know they are kiwi wheels. My Kawasaki concours has a similar style wheel, but weight a ton more than the zx14 ones. Well, can’t beat the price of your own machine shop access. LolThis is a ZX 14 wheel. It uses custom fab parts. It just so happens I have access to a massive machine shop! Lol
I wonder how much of an effect that has on the stopping power?ZX10r wheels are supposed to be lighter than the 14r wheels. Problem is, if you notice they are only using one rotor.
Chop doesnt sell any kits for ZX14/10 Wheels, only R1 however according to everyone I've heard speak on his work they're very dependable and safe.Some guy on Facebook named “chopaleg” sells the needed axles/spacers to fit other wheels to the busa, but using some Home Depot hardware looking pieces according to Bryan @c10
Some things aren't worth the trouble and or your life. I'd spend my money on something that is either made for my bike or has hundreds of people who can vouch for it, done it and test it. It's not a seat, decals or paint. These are wheels and on a motorcycle that's everything.I definitely want to do this swap!

What is he using from Home Depot that has people talking bad about the kit? Honest question, as I have no idea. I wouldn’t go through the trouble of swapping to an R1 wheel.Chop doesnt sell any kits for ZX14/10 Wheels, only R1 however according to everyone I've heard speak on his work they're very dependable and safe.
That’s a good looking ride!Homedepot are my words . Chopleg uses a pos bolt in his axle from home depot . Looks like A#$ . I told him on another forum years ago . Machine a axle , but to cheap to make a nice bolt .
I had ZX10 wheels on my ZRX they are not that light .

ZX10 wheels use 2 discs , they are the track racer in Kawasaki line up . That ZX14 wheel ? pictured , has the locating holes all ready for another disc , that dude just left that disc off .ZX10r wheels are supposed to be lighter than the 14r wheels.

Pretty sure I read that they left the front disc off because they hadn’t made a spacer for it at the time.ZX10 wheels use 2 discs , they are the track racer in Kawasaki line up . That ZX14 wheel ? pictured , has the locating holes all ready for another disc , that dude just left that disc off .
Guess those axles won't break being solid , are they aluminum or steel ?
FYI there is only one rotor on my ZRX because it has ZX14 radial master / Caliper , and bike is 390 lb wet .Pretty sure I read that they left the front disc off because they hadn’t made a spacer for it at the time.
I’m going to research it further and see if I can get in touch with the guy. I’d like to know how it turned out and how it stopped with one disc. I’m certainly not going to do anything to make the bike unsafe or perform poorly.FYI there is only one rotor on my ZRX because it has ZX14 radial master / Caliper , and bike is 390 lb wet .
It stops better than it did with twin rotors/Tokico 6 pot calipers ( same as Gen 1 busa calipers )
I see birds with no rear brake , and one rotor up front
I’m not on psychobike forum, but I remember seeing some pictures that led to that website. I ended up just spending the money on some OZ piega wheels and done.I’m going to research it further and see if I can get in touch with the guy.
