My Z750 so far..... Now With Pictures!!!
Hey all,
I have a 2008 Z750 with a few things done to it at the moment.
So far I have a Tail Tidy, LeoVince Carbon Fibre pipe, Carbon Spools, little arrow indicators & Bar End mirrors.
I also have an Ermax screen on it's way, will be getting a hugger & belly pan as cashflow permits.
I had an incident with a hole in the ground, no footing & my bike a couple of weeks back.
Damage was a scuffed ducktail, scratched engine case & a slight twist in my bars.
Well I polished the raised part of the engine casing, got the ducktail colour matched & resprayed & decided on something a little different for my bars.
I picked up some RBK Alloy Fat Bar mounts, Renthal Fat Bars & some Gel grips, looks sweet & bars are about 8mm higher, same width.
Now I am looking for a steering damper, I have found a Hyperpro for about $700, but cash is a bit tight & would like something about $200 less.
Does anyone know of any about the $500 mark?
Also I has seen a few side mount dampers, what is the difference besides position?
Are these able to be mounted on a Zed?

Hi Gumby go the hyperpro & to be honest spend the dollars ..... anything less you might as well use the door closer off your flyscreen
you get what you pay for with SD's

Yeah the pipe has an awesome note & I love the burbling noise it makes on decelaration.
As for keeping the wheel in the air, well it is a Z750 so it is a tank not a wheelie machine.....................

Ermax Screen.

Polished the rearset mounts, looks cool but what a PIA.

I have a Hugger hanging in the shed ready to go, I also picked up a Tech Shape rear cowl which is waiting to go on.

Nice example. I love the wind so couldn't put a screen on her but I understand why if you are doing constand km's. Check out my thread with the seat cowl, it looks better. Once my brother emails me the pics I'll post the tail tidy w'end photos.
