Welcome. They ARE nice trucks, arenīt they? Best handling available too, IMHO.

FZR400, Cool. Took one for a test ride once. Fun little beasty. Really had
to wind it out, but the redline was like 14k or something. Could flick it
to and fro like it was made of paper. I decided it wasnīt what I wanted to
do everyday commuting to work though. I still have my ī86 Ninja, though
itīs been laid up with electrical gremlins for over a year (due to lack of
attention). Keep the rubber side down!

I have a set on my ī93. They fit in the stake holes, so I donīt know why
they wouldnīt work on a ī97 and later. I got mine for half the price the
dealer wanted. I think at an RV store, or Off Road Warehouse. I think the
vendor may mailorder too, for about dealer price, though.
