Always start with what you did last I would say pull your left switch assy back off and inspect see if it still does it off the bike. if not make sure nothing isg rounding against the new bars.

just a suggestion

Other switch assembly was off the bars when it happened. Could that have affected it?

That symptom can happen if the hazard switch is pressed in, but the hazards are not working. Then when you use the turn signals, both sides will blink.

It can also happen if the wires inside the hazard switch are touching each other. Maybe some wires got shorted when you put on the new bars.

Sometimes a wire can get pinched when the tank is put on, or pulled off, so you may want to inspect under there too, if you can't find anything else.

Here's a link to the wiring diagram.
kzrider.com/filebase/cat_view/100-1981/167-kawasaki-kz-1000-m1

I had to figure out what KZ1000 is a CSR. It's an M1. It shows it has a hazard circuit and a turn signal circuit.
