If you end up getting the Euro bars, could you post back w how they compare to the superbike bars.

On the subject of bars....
Someone on another forum mentioned getting Daytona bars instead of the superbikes, but I haven't investigated.

Are there inexpensive risers available for the KZ anywhere? I was thinking that risers might improve the riding position if the superbike bars feel too low.

The difference between the names is determined obviously by 1)Rise, 2)Width, 3)pullback. The with is almost he same between the three between 29" and 30" The European being the 30" The European has the greatest pullback, with 4.8" and the other two at 3". The biggest difference is the rise between the three. European is the lowest at 2.4" Superbike at 3.1" and Daytona at 5.4". The reason I chose the European was because of the very low rise. The best web sight I have found where these diferences can be viewed is cruisercustomizing.com
