The 8 inch Z-Bar

I love Z-bars. In Japan, they're called the Robot Handle. Nice naming for a handle bar, no ? I wonder who named it first. You pronounce it Lobboto Handolu, or a shorter version Lobo-Han. Sure is a manga country, Nippon. wakaru?
This photo is right after I mounted my 8 inch Z-bar. I wanted a narrow compact look, so I chopped off 2.5 inches each side. Besides the aggressive look, the handle controlling became easier than before. And this was nothing I was expecting, having a nice handle control positioning. Very satisfied with this handle bar.
I am looking for small switches to mount it directly on the handle bar and make the electric wires go through the bar. I have a nice slim throttle holder and a pair of black Anderson grips ready to be mounted.
