Neat conversion  :icon_thumleft:

Did I detect a steering damper lurking somewhere down there?

Yes the steering damper has to be relocated to below the ram air intake in front of the bottom yoke.  Unfortunately, whilst the OEM Ohlins unit will fit the slightly fatter and longer Hyperpro RSC unit that I had bought won't fit in the space, so I am having to sell that.  Other than that, the kit is great.

I got the handlebar conversion kit second hand on ebay, and as well as the yoke, bars, damper relocation brackets and brake lines, it also came with an MRA double bubble screen with the edges trimmed for clearance, so I think it has a biggish screen on there already.  I will have to try it and see how it is, but I am coming from a Z1000 so 150mph on an almost naked bike is not really an issue

You need to man up then, my mrs can do 150 on her Raptor 1000 with nothing more than a flyscreen for protection. :)

The bars are some generic ones off ebay, they are the Renthal Streetfighter bend but in fat bars.  Bit wider than a lot of the fat bars out there which is how I like them, plus it means there are no screen clearance issues with the master cylinder which there are with narrower bars.

I actually sold the exhaust soon after the photos, it now has an Akrapovic end can and link pipe on it
