The Kawasaki Ninja 1000 - 2011+ ABS is a confirmed ConvertiBARS installation.
Requires Brake Line 6 inches longer than stock.
The gentleman who provided the fitment details and photos for the Ninja 1000, did not provide us with these numbers. But given the amount of rise shown in the photos and based on our experience, we suspect a longer front brake line is a minimum requirement for any meaningful rise/reach adjustment - perhaps 3 up and 2 back with stock clutch and throttle cables?
A confirmed installation means that ConvertiBARS, and or a customer, have successfully installed a ConvertiBARS Kit on a motorcycle within the range of years listed above and the rise listed below has been achieved, with or without longer lines, while being able to reach the steering stops without permanent damage to the motorcycle. The year range noted above is only an estimate of the years that the motorcycle appears to have had little or no change to the handlebars and fairing, and so the installer should find similar installation issues as noted in the bike specific install notes. A confirmed installation however, does not mean the kit is guaranteed to fit. ConvertiBARS is not liable for any labor times or costs associated with the installation or un-installation of either ConvertiBARS or the stock handlebars. Positioning restrictions between low and high positions may exist. See bike specific install notes for other installation and positioning issues

Notes:
Complete fitment details are a bit sketchy but the photos tell most of the story on the Ninja 1000. Our customer managed a ridiculous amount of rise and reach adjustment but had the work performed by a local shop that was somewhat uncooperative in sharing detailed info with us.
Incentive may be available to another customer willing to provide us with more details! Please call for more information.
