1000 bars
21 Dec 2006 17:02
I dont really like the handle bars on my Kz 1000 and I plan on changing them over to some european style bars from Z1. Would these work? Would my controls all fit on this style bar? Anyone have any pics of any bike with those style bars that I can see what they look like?

I'm not sure what you mean by "European" style bars from Z1 Ent.
Do you mean Super Bike bars?

Ahhhhhhhhh, I see 'em now! :woohoo:
Sure, you could install those on your bike and they'd look pretty nice too.
You'll probably need to figure out a way to reroute your cables to take up the slack, or just buy shorter cables.
If your bikes original bars are like the ones that were on my 650, you're also going to need to notch the control housings out a little bit so as not to pinch the wires, since they were originally routed through the stock bars.

I am getting my handlebars from Z1 Retro! I raced home on my bicycle yesterday cos I thought yesterday was the mail day but it turns out I read the wrong email, SHOOTS!I wouldn't be racing home today cos I am not going to work. Its 2 degrees out there in Colorado today.I think I would die riding my 6 mile destination and its snowing too so I can't even ride one of my Kz's
