I had a question that went unanswered and I may not be alone. The Helibar website does not list their risers as fitting any ABS model of zx14R. They do. No mods required.

2014 green/black ZX14R ABS. 1972 Kawasaki H2 Tracy bodied. Reed valves. 2000 Kawasaki ZRX1100. 1977 Kawasaki KZ1000 cafe.

Actually, I thought it was opposite ... I've read that ABS guys had no problems, but that non-ABS guys had to do some sort of finaglin'. No?

I have a 2012. I mounted a GenMar spacer. It was 1" in thickness. It fit without moving anything.
I followed the brake hose from the master cylinder down the right fork leg. There was a junction box-metal it was bolted to the lower triple clamp. I believe that is where the ABS system connects to the front.
Check your Bike.
Here is a partial photo of the ABS system. Most systems use metal plumbing when ever possible.

Unbolt the brake side and see how high you can raise it.
