Went back to my stock fender today-Climbed out to 150 mph-front felt like it was trying to lift off(not good).Got home,changed her right away.Rather have High speed stability than "special" looks.(I always did want to keep er stock look anyway!)So be careful guys with those zx10 fenders-keep an eye out for high speed wandering.Ride safe all-I'll try the 200 run again soon!!

You're not the only person I've heard have this happen.
Maybe it was that open rear bracket acting as an air-foil???
Probably gonna hold off on my swap. Atleast until after I hit 200!

Yeah DOGO-everything was running fine,then as I pushed a little more,the front felt like it was riding on ice.It never did that with the stocker.Backed down and it turned out okay.Could have been REAL UGLY if I hadn't been tuned in( I was tucked in and laying on the tank).Probably something to do with the swoop shape on the stock one.That 10 fender doesn't have much surface area,and the air flow could go right under the tip there.Kinda sits "on top" of the tire,instead of cutting in front of.Guess if Kawi didn't know better,they'd have stuck something different on there? (Ya think?)DUH. It DID RUIN my run though

Wow, I have never heard of this problem with the zx10 fender.150 is right in the middle of the sweet spot.Maybe i better hold off on this mod for awhile

Can't say ALL the 10 fenders do this.Mine was an 08.Just a heads up though.Try it if ya want-see what she does.Me,I had my experience-no thanks.(I GOTTA open er up at least ONCE a ride).

Thanks for sharing your experience.

got up to 130+ last night with a group of riders and the only thing that slowed me down was the traffic. i've never experienced the front lifting unless i tried to make it lift.

You have just saved me time and cash . I was picking mine up on Wensday. CHEERS.
