I have a 2012 ZX14R Got the one and a quarter inch risers. I could hardly believe that small change made a huge difference in comfort. I lowered the back a couple inches too. Makes it easier to stand both feet now. I love this bike.

I installed the 1 inch risers on my 2015 ZX14R, and this bike needs taller handlebars... uncomfortable, even with the new risers.

Thanks for the vid, I thought I would have to do a lot of other mods if I put them on. Now that I'm 60 my neck kills after an hour in the saddle, these might be the answer. I have a 2012 ZX14R which I love. It's the longest I've had any bike 8 years now. Cheers from Australia.

When I first bought mine, I installed these same risers for the same reason with the same results as you found. After about 3 yrs, I installed a set of lowering links and dropped the rear about 1-3/4". I quickly found the risers were no longer needed and took them back off. It was a definitely a pleasant surprise :)

I got 1 1/4" which is as far as you can go without hitting the fairing or running into cable or hose length problems. I cut the centering lug off, so I could raise the forks in the clamps, as I like the low look. Plus, I have a steering damper on so, I needed different (longer) bolts for that side. I do like how it cruises like this, for sure.

I might get a set. One thing for sure that will get changed out is the oem seat. For me that seat is crazy painful and my 10r seat was way more comfortable. Before I order this corbin seat, I'll see if there is somebody in my area that could do something with what I have now and make it way better. If not, I'll order that corbin and toss this oem seat out.

I have just installed some on my Gen 1 14. I cant get the blanking plates in? I notice yours are on the top & sticking out? If you was to take them back off and place the cap/cover on top of the riser before you put the bars back on it would sit flush inside the bars. Mine is about 1mm too wide so can't get in top or bottom. Did yours drop straight in or did you struggle? Good video.

You can fit heli bars. You then would sit upright. I fitted heli risers for an 1and quarter inch rise. A double bubble screen .then lowered the seat. Can sit upright at 160 to 180kmh. The stock position is only comfortable at 250 plus. For a real really fast sports tourer it probably should have almost normal bars and a bigger screen .

1. There shouldn't be excessive weight on you wrist while riding. Grip the tank with your legs and hold yourself upright. Your arms should be loose. 2. Your brake lever will hit when the handle bars are full tilt. 3. You may want to consider an actual tour. Like a Concur 1400.
