Rizoma bars and clamps on 796 - Ducati.ms

Oldrider57 · Aug 25th, 2011, 1:09 am

Anyone know whether there's any problem with cable length when changing out the OEM Ducati pieces to the taller Rizoma bars and clamps? Have these pieces on order to help my wife have a better reach to the bars and controls. Input or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. And is everyone else having problems obtaining pieces for this latest Monster???

I added them to my '09 M696, which I believe should have shorter cables since the M796 has a taller stock riser. On my bike the throttle cable is a little short, so you have to be careful with your bar rotation to make sure that you can turn lock-to-lock without revving the motor.

I put them on my 1100, very close ,but they make it. And true the throttle cables are the shortest and have to be clocked just right, but will reach.
Locating pin holes will need to be drilled in the bar, if you want to keep them.

Glad to receive this info about the bars and clamps working. Also, am extremely happy to hear other folks are putting the same pieces on their bikes. Does it mess up the steering geometry too much or are you quite happy with these pieces...

I installed the Rizoma bar and the taller riser to clear the tank on 1100 evo. Additional rotating of the bar to have closest feel to stock bar. IMO, the stock bar was optimum for steering/handling. The Rizoma set-up had better ergo, helped minimizing arm/elbow numbness.
