    The ZRX sitting position leans way too far forward for me. I'm more of a mid-controls and pull back handlebar kind of guy (heavy). Rearsets and leaning that far forward would kill my back and shoulders in less than an hour. Shoot I put some offset risers on my XS11 so I could lean back a little more.

        It's pretty easy to lower the pegs and also to put bar risers on the Kawasaki. You have a nice wide open cockpit area then.

        But you are correct there's more pressure on the wrists compared to an XS standard or special.

        BTW, ZRX carbs have the same spacing as the XS11... http://www.xs11.com/forum/showthread.php?t=35462
