Theres a thread like this on the ZX6 forums as well and is still going strong, so this should be a popular thread.
Yesterday I picked up and installed my new handlebar risers from Murphs kits
Cons:
Stock mirrors become even more useless
Feels like the front end is more unstable during cornering, likes to wiggle.
Pros:
More relaxed position
More comfortable when standing on the pegs
Feels more agile
Recommend? Definitely, just need to adjust the suspension, and should work well with the footpeg lowering kit which I am expecting this week
Also picked up a new OEM (Z1000) 16T sprocket from the dealers, and my Supersprox back sprocket and RK chain arrived
Will install during my service which is due this weekend.

Not a thing apart from look at her, 4 inches of snow and freezing cold, even my work is closed because of the snow....
recently fitted heated grips monkey tapes power bronze screen and fender extender and never turned a wheel since....Well that is Scotland lol :440:give us some sunshine.
You can always tell how bad the weather is when you spend more on polish than you do on fuel, ye gods my bike is shiny......

Stroked her, checked the fs365, checked coolant and oil after my 1st ride on Sunday. checked the weather report....
I really love to ride my motorcycle. When I want to just get away and be by myself and clear my head, that's what I do.

Hi all. I decided to raise my forks 10mm the max with this type of handlebars, The difference is noticable turns better,i had no problem with it any as i only wanted to lower the front due to my short legs 27inch! now its better i can get both feet now (well toes any) on the floor

Picked up and installed the MotoWerkes footpeg lowering kit. Also got the flatfoot for the side stand but didn't have time to install before work so will do that tomorrow. Will do a small write up on the lowering kit, handlebar risers and flatfoot tomorrow once installed and tested.

Exhausts are legal with baffles but they not fitted, plus have green side lights and no tax on display but didnt check any of that.
Plate is two lines but has Kawasaki logo on left side and letters are 15mm smaller than normal
Keep it safe, keep it secure
