They are not cheap since the ZX-14 conversion replaces the entire upper triple clamp.

The rise depends upon the bar you use. They probably should list the rise with the included bar, but nothing but cable and line length (and fairing contact) prevents using any 7/8" tube bar. Maybe since the end droop is less, the change in rise varies along the length of the grip. I would estimate 3" at the ends of the bar and maybe 2" at the inside ends of the grips with the included bar.

The rise and pullback will vary with the model you get.AND the bars.That's very important...the bar configuration.I had on mine a 4"rise and a 7"pullback.It could be adjusted for higher rise or lower...the pullback remained constant.The riser blocks didn't move...but the bar end height did(by loosening the bar clamps on the riser blocks).IF you first put them on....DO NOT JUST TURN YOUR BARS FULLY RIGHT OR LEFT!!!!!They WILL nail the tank if adjusted 'low'...so be careful with that.I also trimmed about an inch off the bars ends as well..to get the grips/perches in a shade closer...but that was just me...you may not like em like that.

I bought mine from Speigler for about $560. Should have got the bar ends at the same time but I didn't. I am leaving tonight after work for a air show in Duluth, MN but will be back late this weekend and post up a picture of before and after. Almost no leaning forward anymore and a very comfortable upright riding position. I am very happy with the results.

Bar none the best comfort mod I think you can put on the bike. Between the new bar conversion, tires and seat this makes this bike perfect for me. No offence, but I am glad I got this over the conny. Comfort and performance all in one. If you are in the Minneapolis area contact me and see the difference.

Yes slowmozx14. Just take your time and follow the poor installation instructions step by step, otherwise you might miss a step and have to redo. Beleive it or not the hardest part seemed to be the bleeding the brake system even with speed bleeders. Removal of the ignition was easy but make sure to be carefull drilling out the rivits. Use a center punch and drill press if you have one. Routing lines easy, just follow the diagram they send. The bike is so different to ride now and NO MORE SORE NECK STRAINING TO SEE. I compare it to my other bike stock sitting position 03 YAmaha FZ1.

You have to remove the ignition SWITCH. One way screws so you have to drill and replace with the ones that come in the kit. When you remove the stock triple clamp and flip it over you will see. Not a big deal.
