Just noticed this posted on FB and thought I would share and see what others thought of these... They are made by http://www.philsfarkels.com/

I saw these on FB as well, but being 6' 3" tall with monkey length arms i don't think i will need any, nice to see stuff being made though.

That's the USA red from 2009.
In the flesh it looks much nicer than that pic shows.
Looks more like a dayglo orange on there.

As for PhilipinTexas, he has been making stuff for the ZG1400 since it was released.
He sells the best Racks for the ZG http://www.philsfarkels.com/ (http://www.philsfarkels.com/)
He is active on http://forum.cog-online.org/ (http://forum.cog-online.org/)

With his handlebar extenders you will need to replace the clutch & brake hydraulic lines with longer ones.

No its not. He had it repainted a Dodge red but IIRC the bike subsequently became the victim of an insurance write-off and is no longer with us.
