And if like me you are dissapointed that they discontinued the 9 then you can browse through these pages
http://www.bikebandit.com/parts/Kawasak ... 9R(ZX900E1" target="_blank)US/2000 and dream about building your own - piece by piece. I have often wondered if I had shitloads of disposable cash if I would actualy do it, yeah of course I would. Imagine wheeling out a brand spanking new 9 that you assembled yourself from kit form8) Postie would be kind of sick of you though!
But seriously though these pages are worth refering to to ensure your dealer is being honest! Somewhere in there I found the original factory steering damper released only for the US market, was only $91.00 US.
