It is nice to have this unified sense of Design in this series. I think that it fits well with the dark Body. I'm also placing Oil Feller Cap now.

The OEM handlebar was easy to install, but the HURRICANE handlebar could not be installed as is, so I had to modify it somehow. View detail
HandlingUP due to increased vibration and weight reduction in a specific rotation range
Here are some impressions at OEMHandlebar on a ZX-6R (2016).
Before installation, from Posh, Ultra heavy bar end & Pro grip, Shockproof Gel.
Bar End & Domino Grip are replaced with Bar End Single Body.
I hope you will refer to this in light of the fact that it is not just about vibration increase/decrease changes.
However, the Grip has not been replaced for about 5 years, and the outer rubber is shabby and worn.
It is doubtful that the vibration reduction by Grip's Gel was effective any longer.
I replaced the bar end and there was a large vibration increase around 5000-6000 rpm. I have a Level that makes my hand numb even for a short time.
There was no difference between the Heavy Bar End and the Large Bar End in the under 5,000 and over 6,000 used when touring down the road.
I feel that the bar end has been lightened after the replacement, which makes it harder to inhibit the seFull Stare, and I feel that the bar end is more stable when it is fully locked.
The Space with Tank has been widened, etc., and personally, it is easier to drive.
Even in the RPM range around 5000, where vibration is amplified, there is no time for discomfort, especially if the RPM is raised quickly.
If you have to run at around 5000 due to a conflict with a car ahead, etc., you can drop the GEAR by one and there will be no vibration problem.
Installation is easy with an Allen key, but the OEMBar End is fully coated with Screw lock.
It may be difficult.

Contributes to weight reduction
What made you decide to buy?
This is a master finish with a delicate cut-out. In addition, the reason why I decided to buy it is that Lime green of KawasakiNinja color made two color con Truss stand out!
How was your experience with it?
The weight of OEM Bar End is about 129g and PREMIUM ZONE is about 50g. If the vibration is large engine like single cylinder engine, I think the weight of Bar End is also effective. Unlike the GROM, the ZX-6R does not transmit vibration to the Handlebar, so I think it is large and strong. On the other hand, it is a SS, so I hope it can contribute to weight saving. By the way, the weight saving by replacing the Bar End this time is about 150g (lol)
[What is the Point of the replacement work?
When you remove the OEMBar End, the OEMBolt is coated with Screw Locker, so be careful not to overdo it as the Bolt is hexagonal. (For your information, the effect of the screw lock is weakened if you heat it up. And OEM Bar End is 129g. And OEMBar End is 129g, so it is easy to drop when you remove it. I didn't know that OEMBar End is heavy and I dropped it on the concrete and scratched it.
When you install PREMIUM ZONEBar End, you need to put the attached Washer on the Axel side, otherwise the movement of Axel will be reluctant. Please check the movement of Axel after installing PREMIUM ZONEBar End. ← This is very important. After that, apply the same screw lock agent to the mounting bolt as OEM, and tighten it with the specified torque. Oh, don't forget to check the position of the LOGO of DAYTONA....

It looks good, but lacks Weight.
I installed it on a 2020 Ninja1000SX.
Master cylinder tank cap [NISSINΦ59] And purchased at the same time as
The Handlebar area was unified.
I liked the shape and look of it, but the Weight was too light.
Changing from OEM will be uncomfortable. (Get used to it.)
In particular, Left feels a vibration (Chatter) in the Handlebar. (It varies from person to person.)
During installation, I diverted the OEM Washer (Black3?) and BlackPorto.
The length is almost the same as the OEM, so the width of the car will be the same as it was at the time of inspection.
(My old POSH (50?) was too long to pass inspection, so I had to put it back in.
