I'm creating this as a new thread at the suggestion of several contributors to the OLD thread. I'm also hoping not to do anything that the moderators wouldn't care for, so please let me know if this crosses any lines.
I love my C14. Was still driving my second C10 when they came out. It took a couple years, but I finally found mine courtesy of Craigslist, and a wife patient enough to drive halfway across California with me. And NOT for the first time either!
Among all the things Kawasaki did right, there are a few miscues that just cry out "Why?!?" I refer in this case to the fact that their design group evidently made a studied decision NOT to provide anything resembling a plumb, level surface that could be easily co-opted for mounting add-on lights. Right?
For the full history, please check out the earlier thread:

For those with no patience for tedious backstory:

These are 3d printed with a carbon fiber-PLA filament. The exterior surfaces are made thick for strength, and with a 25% infill pattern (technospeak for MORE strength). The hardware is stainless steel. I do not supply the 8mm bolt for actually attaching the lights, because there are just too many variations possible. It's cheaper for us both if I don't include something that you might not need.
My first two units have already been sold. And I'm hoping, nay- pleading, for some honest feedback from their new owners once they've had time to evaluate.
Ride safe folks.
