HI There, has anyone any experience /opinion in terms or rolling the OE bars forward. I've done so a little and seemingly gained 1/2 " in height, measured from ground to bar. I've not ridden the bike since, however, it feels better sat stationery. I was considering the Rizoma bars- maybe this bit of adjustment will make a difference? Many thanks
I don't think I want my bars any further foreword as this would lead to me riding with my b*lls against the tank all the time!! Really I am looking at getting mine further swept up but towards the rear or the bike, also would lead to having more weight on your wrists which could be uncomfortable after an hours riding.
I ditched the oem bars and fitted Rizoma MA008 IMHO a much nicer riding position, no more cracking the family jewels on the tank and no more aching wrists
at least I put something half useful in my reply :wink: just buy some Rizoma bars do I get a drum roll,,
Hey, if it's adjustable, adjust it. That's why it's adjustable. I have a mate who complained for years about a pain in his right calf, and blamed it on the height of his brake pedal pushing his foot up. I'm talking years here. 5 minutes with the pliers, pedal lowered, and he was chuffed to bits. I asked him why he hadn't adjusted it. 'Didn't think to look', was his reply
"Roll" on the weekend I can try the adjusted bars then make a decision re Rizomas- are they easy to fit , bear in mind I'm mechanically inept! Well almost. I've just completed taking the rear pegs off and added an Evotech hanger so not quite that bad- what a ball ache that was!! Thanks for all replies they just keep "rolling" in......
Quick question about the rizoma bars, I have the ducati screen fitted and the reservoirs are fairly close to it if I fit a rizoma bar will they foul?
I have rolled my bars ever so slightly forward and rotated my levers south slightly and it feels a much more natural riding position. I too have some rizoma bars in the garage ready to fit I just have not had the time to fit them yet. I am also a bit concerned about drilling the bars for the controls so want to take my time with it.
Do the Rizoma bars require any changes to the cable lengths? I'd like to put on some slightly higher bars and would prefer the swap is easier. Anyone seen any Renthal as an alternative or are the Rizomas the preferred option? For aesthetics I also want the bars black as the ally finish doesn't fit the rest of the bike.
just googling, I'm not finding these easy to buy online - must be google playing up as it can't be my fault! any ideas on best place to click to buy ?
