    i never had an issue dude with the stem on my zip as they have been re-worked to fit

    and as for brakes again i didnt have an issue but then after i fitted them i put a different set on for the switches and im going to be fitting a quick action throttle as i believe (correct me if im wrong) but the throttle is built into the handle bar fairing so you would need a quick action throttle which also gives a good excuse to upgrade your carb :)

    Nah the standard throttle is independent to the plastics you can use either without the other...if that makes sense.

    QA throttles are a bit of a pain IMO you need quite a big carb for them to work properly and mostly you have to cut panels for them to fit

    And I don't see how the brakes couldn't work with a bar conversion tbh

    Try it before you start filing tbh. Master cylinders and bars have a standardised size you can use nearly any master off a ped on another one unless they changed the zip ones to be smaller for some reason at some point which is unlikely. I haven't and most probs won't do it on my zip because of the light and cos I quite like the standard ones.

    I can get you a pic of the controls working with everything but the panels if you like? Or even of the master cylinder on some random push bike handlebars if ur that bothered..
