z1b handle bar options

[Big John]

Big John......i'd rather ride at 100mph with slightly raised flat bars than standard cowhorns.......feels less windy.....and feels like you have more control/weight over the front end.......not as good in very slow traffic to cowhorns though

I agree the lower bars are better than the higher bars , the bike handles better too, stock risers with Renthal superbike lows are IMO the best way to go.

Hi Bob,
Check out the Renthal Fatbars on Brian450 rebuild...

Thanks

There is a company on ebay that do a multi stage bar riser kit, I just need to measure the diameter of the bars before I order as they do two sizes.. 25mm and 22mm bars,I think it will be 22 mm is that 7/8?? I do like the look of the Renthal fatbars

I know it's a vid, (click the pic) but it does picture Renthal FatBars & Renthal Risers.

You could probably use something like these, if you want to use your original top yoke.

My z1000a2 with almost flat bars, no risers.

Adrian is that a Z1000MK2 cylinder head

Looks like a 'J' or GPz head & barrels to me, but then living that close to Debbens it would be almost rude not too!

Z1000J head, with APE cam chain top idler conversion, Webb cams.
Engine has recently had a full engine rebuild including full cylinder head refurbishment by Steve and Ray at - DEBBENS PERFORMANCE , who do a very good jod. Keep meaning to do a thread in the projects section. Tommorrow I will be fitting a hydraulic clutch I bought from germany.

hope the pick works im not good with photobucket, any opinions on type of bars and risers? the bikes I have seen seem to have beefed up front ends
