hi anyone selling uk handlebars for a z1000, 7/8ths dia' i think,. not the sit up and beg type.. thanks. dek.

anyone know if the clutch adjustment side casings are interchangeable there seems to be two diferent types, one with the large oval , and one with the smaller oblong "blanking off plates" for the adjuster, they look as though they are,. not sure though thanks.
