    Hey guys.  Looking for some opinions on whether or not I should throw a set of Z's on my bike.  I've got drags right now, but I've had some back problems return as of late.  I'm just not sure whether the Z's would suit the style of got going on my rike (oldish vintage-ish).

    What you guys think?  I appreciate any feedback!

    Yeah I hear what you're saying.  I wasn't convinced they'd work either, but appreciate the feedback!

    Those first bars you linked are pretty sweet actually.  I like those!

    Actually, I'm not sure if those zephyr bars would fit.

    Yeah I just have the stock top tree. Any idea which top tree I should get to make these fit?

    Nevermind, just saw your link!  Thanks a lot!

    I think I'd have to move to mid controls to pull off those bars.  Not sure they look right with forwards.

    Thanks mate. I like those first ones. Very similar to the zephyrs! Come in black too...hmmmm.

    I kinda feel like I need to rake the front a bit to go with the zephyrs.

    Those Zephyr bars look good, but I don't know if they would help a sore back?

    They have to be better than the drags I have on now! At least raises things up by around 8"

    Use to have Zbars on my old Kawasaki Z900 back in the seventies

    Whilst i like the look of your bike currently, i think the Z bars will look fantastic, and they are far more comfortable. So long as you use the right type. Some of them are damn right ugly. Something like the ones on mine would look good.

    Whilst i dont love the look from head on, i love it from the side and the drivers seat. And mind you, going from western bars to these, they are soo much more comfortable.

    Yeah I'm fairly certain that those zephyr bars no longer exist. Lowbrow has said they have no ETA on restock, and Pangea have not responded to me at all. I emailed them two weeks ago.

    So will have to look at another setup!

    just had a look those zombie ones look nice! they look sort of unfinished which i think is cool if you could get past the rusting bit (thats if they aren't stainless)!
