I was asked to write a how to about installing fz1 bars. So here goes.
If you have new grips you can just cut your old ones off, if not you need to pry them off very carefully, I had new grips to put on mine.
To make the removal of the parts on the bar, I first removed the bars from the bar mounts.
To removed the clutch side control unit, by removing the 2 screws that are on the bottom of the unit. Then you can separate the unit on the seam, I just let it hang loose from the wires.
Then remove the clutch, and let it hang loose as well.
I removed the throttle side control unit like I did the clutch side, there are 3 screws that need to be removed from the bottom of the unit.
Then remove the brake handle, but be careful to not get air into your brake lines, if you do you'll have to bleed your brakes.
All you have to do now is put it back together in the reverse order, I removed the pin the is on the throttle side, the pin is located on the inside of the control unit on the bottom. I left the pin on the clutch side control unit as it fit in the hole that was already on the bottom of my new bars.
Also as you can see in the pictures, I have 2" bar adjustable bar risers that put the bar at about the same as 1" up and 1" back as some other members have. At full lock my bars do not hit the tank.
Here are before pics
