A couple of points to watch out for before you spend too much trying to get the bars as low as you seem to want them. You will be tipped a long way over in a saddle that is just not designed for that posture, it will not be comfortable. The saddle of a ZX9R was long, front to back, and quite narrow at the front, so you could adjust your posture for different styles with ease. Forward meant more upright which suited slower riding (commuting etc.) and back for head down charging. Over 60mph on the ZX9 (with standard screen) and the wind on my chest carried my weight, taking it off my wrists, but a long day spent under 60 (touring with a group), and my back, arse, wrists and neck all began to suffer.
This might seem too obvious to mention, (never stopped me before :lol ) but the Fazer is not a ZX9R. It is a different bike with different strenghts and weaknesses. I would recommend trying to get to know the bike you have, and if it just doesn't work out, then you can get another ZX9R instead.
