DescriptionThe whole story▼

The Cafe takes the Z900RS, drops the bars and adds a cowl, and that lower bar position is the whole reason this version has a different ergonomic case than the standard bike. Lower bars roll the wrist and change where the fingers meet the lever.

Key Features

  • Milled Gilles face for a secure gloved grip
  • Bolts to the original master cylinder without adapters
  • Reach adjustable through 35 positions, set by hand
  • Central adjuster wheel, reachable from the riding position
  • Folding blade that swings clear instead of snapping off
  • Road legal in Germany under ABE No. KBA 91203

Machined and Treated

Solid aluminium, bored, phosphated at the pivot, anodised black. Deliberately plain, because the Cafe's appeal is a coherent look and an aftermarket lever that announces itself would undo it.

Lower Bars, Different Reach

Dropping the bar changes the angle at which the hand approaches the blade. A setting that felt right on a standard RS will be a few millimetres off on the Cafe — small, but present on every ride. Thirty-five shallow detents are the right resolution for exactly that kind of correction.

Folding Blade

Hinged, so a tip-over folds the blade instead of loading the master cylinder. The break point is inside the two-finger zone by design.

Road Approval
