What did you do to your Z1000SX today?
on: 19 Mar 13, 02:12:43
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  :celebrate:
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  :celebrate:

Also picked up a new OEM (Z1000) 16T sprocket from the dealers, and my Supersprox back sprocket and RK chain arrived  :047: Will install during my service which is due this weekend.

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  :001:

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.

Rode her to work today as usual
got stopped on way home in london for illegal number plate £60.00 fine  :023:
1st time stopped in 2 years with this bike and plate

I was nicked for a single line plate about 5 years ago.   Presumably they were not interested in your exhaust or are they legal?

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
