The brake pedal went all the way down with no effort. It's a series 1, and ABS light did not come on whilst riding.

I believe I had the ABS fail on the rear yesterday (2008 model). Rear brake was completely gone. Pulled over, turned bike off and back on, and it kicked back in. Slowly continued for the last mile or so home.

Glad I found this, will investigate fault code etc. this evening.

Mine was the deluxe comfort seat (non heated) and I found it excellent, it fitted me better than the standard seat and was shaped better front to back in that you didn't feel as if yer nuts were being squashed       EDIT:  nearly forgot Gillian reported that the pillion section was also very good

I purchased it second hand. Top Sellerie offer a service whereby you can send them a standard seat and they will recover it for you, which is the cheaper way of doing it, I believe a ZZR seat base is the same as the GTR and they are sometimes for sale on E-Bay   

Here's some pictures which I hope will help

Looks lovely. Pillion comfort is probably more important than rider comfort tbh  . Hearing good things about Top Sellerie!

Hi all, looking to purchase a touring seat (Sargent/Corbin/Top Sellerie etc.) that's all day comfortable for rider and pillion. If you have something like this, and are looking to sell, please let me know.

Cheers

Excellent, cheers Chris! Will give you a shout in a few weeks, much appreciated. If my screen is "standard" then I'll be happy to take the Laminar Lip off your hands if you're looking to sell

Hi Halfpipe
Where are you? I have a 2009 GTR and the screen for 2008 and 2009 are the same but 2010 model on are different and require a different laminar lip to suit. I am in Stockport and if you are local you can pop round and have a look at my screen and lip.I am 6 ft tall and found the buffeting worse than the wind and have tried the standard screen with and without laaminar lip and also a Powerbronze screen. None of them as good as they should be for me. I have more recently just been using the standard screen without lip and have drilled 3 2 inch diameter holes across the bottom of the screen the equalise the wind pressure in front and behind the screen. So far this has worked for me and does not cause any problems for my wife on pillion.
I think Kawasaki cottoned on the the wind pressure business some time ago as the later models have a flap across the front of the screen.

I'm in the Midlands, but will be up your way around the 9th/10th April. If you're around, then I'd really appreciate popping by and comparing screens! I am also 6ft, and find the buffeting to be quite bad on the GTR with the screen at it's highest (coming from a VFR 800).

If anybody else reading could post their screen height, that'd be much appreciated. I'll update my first post with a list of screens and their dimensions.

Hi all,

I've recently purchased a 2008 GTR1400 ( ) and find the wind buffering quite bad with the screen at the max height. After doing some research I thought about purchasing a Laminar Lip, however it appears that for pre-2010 models, there's a different lip depending on whether you have the standard screen or (presumably) a Kawasaki after-market taller screen.

The issue I'm having is finding dimensions for the two screens to find out which mine is! After looking on countless parts websites and Google Images, I still cannot determine which mine is. It contains no company logos, and is around 600mm from the top straight down to where the screen ends (so above the "fangs" either side). I don't want to buy a Laminar Lip only to find it's for the wrong screen 

Does anybody know which screen this is (if it's even a stock screen!)? I'm hoping we can build this thread in to a resource containing maybe images and dimensions of different screens to help others in the same position in future.

Cheers!

Kawasaki also do a direct replacement for the original rack plate.  This one comes wth Givi Monolock points already cast into it.  I fitted one earlier this year and it made the topbox completely solid

part number 999940620 I paid about £65 in March

Does anybody know if this will fit all Givi Monokey boxes? I've got a Kappa K53N (53L) that uses the Monokey fitting. Just wondering if this rack would be the right fit, and if my box is going to sit flush with the rack?

Got my GTR1400 being delivered soon, and can't wait to get riding!
