Considering something like this for my ST, anyone know if they fit z's without much alteration? If not, can anyone point me in the direction of something similar? Cheers all.

I put one on my J1 because i liked the look of them and i couldnt see my clocks and indicator repeater in bright sunlight.

Made four strip ali brackets. drilled four holes. Replicated brackets in 2mm mild steel. Havent touched it since.

On the down side; it make my front end oscillate in blustery conditions and the 'ramp' of the screen focuses the airflow directly into my chin and neck area.

I had one of these on my Z1000 H.
A good bit more money but absolutely stable at !00 + speeds. Good headlights too. I mounted it to some alloy headlamp brackets and at the bottom where the front brake splitter connects to the lower fork yolk.
