has anyone ever put a 12 o'clock bar on their bike? I was looking for one but i can't find a maker for a KZ. I guess the other way would to be to make one myself. It dosn't look to hard.

Noone makes a 12 o'clock bar for a KZ because noone stunts them. You're going to have to make one yourself if you need one. If you make one you might want to have it anchored to the shock mounts as well as the frame of the round tube portion of you frame might buckle and become useless.

Steell, its a bar attached to the back of the bike so when a wheelie performed it allows the bike to stop at the 12 o'clock position.

Steell, I think we are way to old and a bit too wise to want a set of those bars;) ;)

Can't wait to see how long it takes to bend the front forks and twist the frame. I am guess two 12 o'clock wheelies should just about do it. Leave the stunting to the newbs on the plastic bikes. The rest of us will ride like grown ups.

When someone said 12 o'clock bar, I thought of this! I'm almost 50 years old...I guess that's why.
