KAWASAKI Z1R handlebars

I know i might as well be asking for unicorn shite but if anyone has factory handlebars for a Z1r that they might be willing to part with id be much appreciative.

Think i will have a pair from a resto. How doe you know they are Z1R. Is there a cutout between the mounting brackets and holes at the grip ends??...sorry ihave loads of bars lying around

Thanks for the reply mate, so the ones i have on it are the same, holes top and bottom for running the wires through but the real ones have a wider spot in the middle between the handlebar clamps like this.

They are just another part that lads discarded when old and rusty for shiny new aftermarket parts. Rare enough now.

Yea they are a rarity for sure, last set i saw was on ebay US and that was a buy now at $350 was broke at the time... im happy enough with the set i have but its the last piece bar the original shocks. I have day one modification Koni on it right now.

Appreciate that mate, but just so you know the Kz1000ltd had a set like this with internal routing of the wires too but he bars were taller and more cruiser like and also rare bars now.

All good, and thank you for the look, I’ll keep my eyes peeled. It’s just one of those things that will pop up when it pops up.. I just hope I have the cash this time when it does, thanks again

Scored a set and shocks too. This makes the bike 95% factory stock.

You mind me asking, how much is the duty etc. on the €150 from the states to Ireland. I’m looking for a 1000rfork leg for over a year with no luck. Had see one in the us but bottled out, that was before I realised how hard they were to source.

Trick is to sign up for addresspal and give the proper phone and email. Have it shipped to your home through that, the shipping often works out cheaper (the US goes by weight from €15 to €55 but the UK is a flat rate of €6.50 no matter what the weight and its up to 20kg), ask the shipper to include no receipt and thats the most important part, that way they have to value the part by eye as they do not have the resources to chase everything that comes through. Worse case they will send you an email or ring you and then just make up a number like €30 even if its €150. I bought a rear Z1 Lester for €450 and they valued it at €25...no joke. Then you pay the duty on that plus 6.50 admin. I have literately save thousands.

I’ll have to look into addresspal, sounds like the way to go!
