I wanted to get a little tighter steering, for parking lot maneuvering.
The new, longer bolts are about 5 threads too long.
If you turn in the steering stop bolts, the new, longer bolts will contact the frame, preventing any gain. Trim the bolts to length before tightening it all up.

Amusingly the only annoying thing about the risers is the fact that when you go to lock the steering head by taking the key out you always have to turn it back a few inches from full lock before the pin will set. Small price to pay though. I still have the stock bars and this is on an '08.

I really don't want wider bars - mainly 'cos of commuting through London, even standard bars are at the limit for me there otherwise filtering through traffic would be too stop/start! But thanks for the tip, I will keep on looking. Hemel says that Renthal will probably do something exactly like I want.

Can't trim any more off as the switch gear and so would be to close together and make the brake and clutch lever feel funny. Might have to buy shorty levers.
These are the Fly Aero tapered low CR model. Got them for $50 NZ brand new in the box.
Needs two 5mm holes drilled for the switch gear and a trim on both sides but the rest fits no problem including the weights.

They are slightly narrower bars and I have turned down my R&G bar end weights so they are only 10mm deep. When they are fitted the bars width is about 40mm narrower than before which is about the amount I need to get through London traffic better.

PS I never drill bars for mounting the switch gear. I just grind the plastic locating tabs and put a wrap of tape on the bar.

I've just installed the Rizoma MA005B that a few of you have, they replaced Ducati Monster Magura handlebars.
Coming from the clip-on 'esque feel of the magura bars, the first 5 minutes on the rizomas I thought i'd made a huge mistake.
Now, after a day and a commute, I don't know why I persisted with the Maguras for so long.
The Magura bars look great on the bike and in the tight/fast stuff, they are great, loading up the front more and allowing you to hang off and manhandle it a bit more.
Thats also the negative though - the bars being lower and slightly raked downwards puts more weight on your wrists, and even though its good for balance, you don't have the same leverage and end up putting more effort into steering.
They also had my fingers tingling after an hour or so in traffic, I think it comes down to the odd bend, Even the torture rack Ducati SC1000 didnt cause that effect for me.
Its been so long since i've run stock bars I can't really make a fair comparison with the Rizomas, the most noticeable thing is they are more swept back, it felt wierd at first but its a really natural position now.
The first corner I came to I pushed into counter steer and the bike just dropped so fast into the turn I was surprised.
I feel like i'm sitting bolt upright again but I know these have a lower rise than stock.
I'm 6'2, the stock bars always felt just a bit off, wrong bend and a little too high.
Heres a pic of the three bars together, Magura on top, Rizoma second and KTM stock at the bottom.

But I'm confused...
The Rizomas are lower 30mm rise compared to Renthal's lowest at 50mm, and KTM at 70mm (I think) but the Rizomas pull back more, when I want to be pushed forward.
I suspect the LSL flat drag bars would work well, but they look very straight and a bit odd on the bike (at least in photos anyway, although on this thread they look more angled than the do on Klincky and Twisted Jester's LSL setups).
The Monster Magura's look great - although I'd like black, but it's mentioned here that they're a bit extreme...? Hard to imagine they'd be worse than my Duc SC1000? Really?
Mmmm. What to do.

07 bar width is 29 5/8" from outside to outside (lanesplitting width), measured between two flat surfaces, no grips. 752.5 mm for you others...
slide all the controls inboard to maximum on both sides to determine the max cut length, my buddy didnt do this.....oops!
My newly installed SF bars are awaiting their maiden voyage, they feel real nice.

I had to order a few spare sets of bars in. Part numbers are a bit all over the place but Ducati seem to think it's more to do with holes for switchgear.
2011 Ducati Monster 796 = 36011282A = £108.86
2010 Ducati Monster 1100 = 36010952A = £108.86
2007 Ducati Monster S4R = 36010451A = £147
2010 Ducati Streetfighter = 36011031A = £146
I've ordered the 1st ones- 796- as i'm sure that what i've got on already. Same as KTM666's.

Here's a quick snap to compare them to the Streetfighter bars.
They are virtually identical but a little bit less bend. Like you've got the streetfighter bars and pulled the grips away from eachother a bit and straightened the bends out.
Streetfighter bars painted black and fitted.
Monster bars silver and held up

I don't want anything drastic, just a bit as I find myself crouching all the time (perhaps something to do with the long reach of my previous TL1000S?).
In looking at this and other threads, I'm thinking that the Ducati Monster / Streetfighter bar is the way to go and I've found a bar from an 07 Monster S4RS for sale. With all the part #'s of Ducati's and all their different models of Monster (S4, S2, 796, 1100, S vs non-S), are these the same bars people are using?
EDIT: I now own the bars; the eBay auction was closing a lot sooner than I thought. I couldn't confirm the numbers as being the same measurements but decided to fall off my wallet and try it out. I'd still like to hear from anyone that can confirm that these bars will work.
If they do work, not bad for $35 (plus $25 shipping).
A little searching and I think this is the bike that the bars got parted out from;

My SD fell off the side stand over the weekend. Like slow motion, it burried itself into what i thought was a firmish ground. Plonk! Result? Bent stock 'bars. How soft and weak and crap are the stock bars! UGH.
Anyhoo, wondering has anyone put Ricky Carmicheal Protaper's on their SD?
They are 800mm w, 77mm Rise, and a 55mm sweep. I'm assuming that with a bit of a trim off the end, should be a good bend to drop you over the front a little more? Purely as they have way less sweep than the stock bars??
MADDOG53
2013-07-08 07:56:00 UTC
The only reason people replace them is coz they don't like the shape (me) or want black ones (me also).
I have magura's at the moment that are close to the ones you mention and the problem is that they are wider. You can cut them as I did but eventually the bend gets in the way of positioning the lever clamp closer to the centre and your stuck with that width. If you can live with it is's fine, it gives lots of leverage but I guess not good for filterng traffic in the city.

I've spent the last six years gradually changing my bars fro the standard "sit up" position to lower and lower in a mission to find the place that gives a balance between fast road riding, track and motorway cruising. For me, the preference has always been to go flatter and lower and more forward. I currently have LSL drag bars fitted but have just ordered a set of Woodcraft clip-ons with 50mm risers to see what they are like. There's a thread on here on that subject that I'll be updating once I get them on. Should be next week.
Bar positions and riding style are very personal things - it depends on what you like and what they feel like. No one is right, it's up to you.

These are very like the LSL bars I had fitted for the last few years. I ended up rotating the throttle housing too for the same reasons.
What's the advantage of the aftermarket ASV clamps on the clutch lever or are they just for bling?
Also, your bike is so CLEAN and NEW looking! Do you ever ride it?
