I confirmed before buying that the Zero version is custom bent to get around the front brake reservoir.  Otherwise, they are identical.  I was able to recreate the bend in my vice in about 5 minutes, ultimately saving some cash.

Zero FX Handguard Installation
« Reply #16 on: January 11, 2017, 07:47:42 AM »

My install of Cycra Ultra Handguards (the ones that really do not come in black... just black stickers). Koso heated grips and MFA generic windscreen. Last shot shows the tap done on the end of the handlebar to use the screw type connection instead of the clamps that come from Cycra.

Mounted mine today. Installed Givi HP1111, purchased from ebay for about €85. They perform very well on the first ride, no cold hands anymore!
Needed to install additional aluminium bar ends and to cut the rubber. About an hour work.

The cap screws provided by Cycra on my previous bike also rusted out. It's a real shame they don't come with stainless. Eight cost under $1.50. I replaced mine with stainless. Fortunately, at the time I had ordered 16, so I have a set for the Zero.

Here are the right ones:

With that on the tip of your front fender? Some kind of reflector?

I've updated the OEM handguard install section on the wiki, but stopped short of integrating the instructions here simply because they're organized differently, and I didn't want to try to merge them "blind". I definitely gathered as many references as seemed suitable.

Cool, thanks Brian and thanks for the unofficial manual site.
