Finally, the handlebar post arrived
The Zephyr has 2 holes, which is a bit niche
I chose Antlion 03025-SL<\/a>

This should give me my preferred position<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally I can remove this part (‘\u0414’)<\/p>\n<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n

To install the Hyperpro initial adjuster, it would interfere
so I need to move it forward of the handlebar.

I wantedAntlion 03025-SL<\/a>
from the start, but the delivery time was long
This Amazon
offset handlebar adapter is just temporary (‘\u0414’)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, for now
it’s an item without spending money
The workmanship is quite sharp
so it’s good to just temporarily test the position<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anyway, the Zephyr 400\/550
has the handlebar set back and low.
I prefer handlebar position with some play in the elbows
High freedom should make it more fun to ride.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is 2-hole the standard for Kawasaki?
Well, it does keep the handlebar position firmly fixed
which is nice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

What I always think about is the included bolts
SUS304 bolts come with everything

Unless there’s a specific reason, I don’t really like them
so I replace them with steel ones.

Steel has better tightening feel and
is easier to deal with in case of emergency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally I could remove that weird adapter
and it’s nice and simple now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Perfect, the initial adjuster is also
avoided and the position should be nice and easy~
supposedly

When I ordered this kind of part, I thought
it’s surprisingly hard to get these days
“Buy it while you can!”

That’s the golden rule (‘\u0414’)<\/p>\n\n\n\t\t
