Will a 00 top Clamp fit an 02?
I tried the search and got 80 pages with ZX14 and everything else.
I remember it was discussed her before. A friend my be getting a ZX12R 2003. I have the Billet Top clamp that is 1.5 inches higher. ALso is there any difference in the seat mounts?

actually it WILL FIT, as long as you change the bottom clamp with it. (they both have to be the same generation)

Now I have the entire Picture! The Rake was changed and to get the slower handling put the 00 on the 02! To speed up the handling on an 00 put the 02 clamps on the 00
Perfect!

Vincent, wouldn't the rake be dependent on the frame and not the clamps. Would the trail be dependent on the clamps then.... Depending on how far forward or back the steering stem is in the middle of the clamp. The steering head angle isn't adjustable because its a design feature of the frame...

Trail on how close or far away from the steering stem. Rake "EIther the Steering Head or the Offset of the clamps?

I understand what you were saying Tony but I was not sure that Kawasaki changed the frame and did it with the clamps! A lot easier to change the clamps as opposed to the frame!

VH, I **HAVE** 2002 clamps on my 2000. I swapped them out when I was rebuilding my 2001 which was damaged, I bought a set of 2002 and put them on my 2000, and put the original set that was on my 2000 on the 2001 model.
