Kinda spendy-ya.Only a few small pieces-that's all I wanted.AZ-that's a GoPro Camera mount.She's sitting horizontal in there when I've got er connected to that mount(Camera housing is fully adjustable).Those camera shots sure make my baby look like she's got scratches all over her!!GEEEEZ.No-no paint damage or scratches anywhere for three years of riding-not bad.

Upon close inspection it looks like you have some high bars! Man you could put ape hangers on that sucker with that set up!

Ya..... .People would be pleasantly surprised to feel the difference those 4" rise and 7" pullback bars make in overall comfort and handling.They definitely DO NOT GET IN THE WAY OF tucking over the tank,or running quick and fast.Better than stock for me.Plus I can set my throttlemiester and set back in the saddle and roll forever without any wrist or back discomfort.Just a light hold on the bar end-balance forward and back is perfect for the long haul.Or I can rest over the tank,kick my elbows kinda together onto the tank, and just rest and steer with my fingertips on the clamp area there.No wind,no hassle.Very nice for the "in betweens" followin the twisties.Rest my hand up under the chin area on my helmet-geez-could ALMOST take a nap!!!!VEEERRYY NIICCE!!!!

I have the helibar blocks on mine, that made alot of difference. My hard core sport bike buds give me crap about em calling me an wussey and shit! I bet you had to do alot mods to get every thing to reach that high and back.

blue07 sold me on the LSL bar conversion. Having the ability to mount just about any 7/8" handlebar then (assuming you can make the cables and hoses work) really is nice. His Superbike High bar requires some rerouting of cables to reach the controls, but its definitely worth it, like he says.

Night and day difference over Heli or Genmars, even stacked.

I am going with the Superbike bar, which is 1" less pull-back from the High version. Even that is night and day from my old genmars arrangement. Put on a connnie seat, ride all day. :)

Also, the LSL kit for the ZX14 includes a stainless steel upper brake line, which is longer than stock. For blue's High bar, he had to loosen the clamp on the block which joins the lower and upper brake line, I think. And reroute the left side clutch and electrical cables. His pictures and description of the mod are on this forum, if you search "LSL Request" or just "LSL" - posted by blue07 you'll find it.

I'll post pictures of my full carbon fiber 08 when it gets closer to spring and I put it all back on. Right now I'm pulling the radiator to put a second fan on it. Who knows what else, it all depends on money.
