Re: Handlebar changes Zrx 1200r 08
I remember someone on KSRC (can't remember who) put flatter bars on their ZRX a while ago and some of the guys in the US have put clip ons on, but for me it kind of defeats the purpose of having a ZRX.
I had a set of motocross bars on the ZRX1100 I had before my 1200 and they were too wide and felt a bit weird.
If you search back through the old posts in this section you might be able to find the thread and see what brand of lower bars they were that old mate put on.

I was gonna change the bars but I found rotating the stock bars can give a really good setup for free.
2 X ZRX1200R 4 X ER6N, GT550, 1988 ZX-10, 4 X GPZ250R, 4 X GPZ900R and GPZ750R
Yeah I like Kawasakis.

Mate I've got a set of renthal ultra lows and I find them a nice height and such. Not too drastic of a change from the stock bars but enough to notice the difference and a bit more forward stance.

I had a set of drag (flat) bars on my previous 1100 - very comfortable but ultimately too low as I'm 6'2". Need to raise the mounts by ~1", reversing them won't do. I'll find a pic and post it.
Here's a set on an AMA Rcecrafters kawa from about '82 .....
tip: try googling drag bars
