Y'all may know that Top Blocks are frame sliders made for the Concours. Instead of looking like bulbous dingleberries, they're kinda sleak lookin' - pic below. Just wondering if anybody here knows if they fit the ZX, or if they could be made to?

Sure looks like they would. That's some kind of weird special bolt there that goes through the frame. Possibly the back engine mount. I would think that would be safer for the frame in a crash but also looks like it is positioned low enough to act as a fulcrum where the top of the bike would teeter over on the slider and hit the upper. Hard to say what will happen with frame sliders. Looks like mine MIGHT save the top but the lowers are going to roll on the pavenet first. In a real crash, mine might snap an engine mount. They're designed not to but I know of one member who did with the same sliders I have. LSL sliders.

Well the US seller of these French sliders, Murphs' Kits, just briefly responded to my email saying they don't fit the ZX14. I responded to that asking if he knows of anybody who has maybe modified them to fit. Will post his response.

They sure look close.

The seller replied (a while back; I forgot to post his response):

"Nobody I am aware of, but these boys are pretty good at what they do, given the other sport bikes they cover, I’m sure if these worked, or were close to workin on a ZX they would be selling them."
