bar risers/ handlebar

[rietveld]

So I'm looking for bar risers and maybe another handlebar for my M1100S.

I've read somewhere that a Rizoma handlebar is a HUGE difference. but I went to my dealer and he had one. so I took the oem and the rizoma and layed them next to each other. to my surprise they look identical. the rizoma is just a millimeter swept more backwards.

I am looking to sit more comfortable and more upright.

I also took a look at the rizoma risers. the height is 42mm, and guess what. So are the stock ones.

So what else is out there that really rises the bars? Do bare in mind that it has to be pretty too

What about these buddy?

[rietveld]

does speedymoto have dealers in europe?

360.1.127.1A Single U-bolt (bottom). i've been reading about raising the bars alot on my 1100 and i think i'm gonna try the 796 lower clamp because its 20mm taller. btw i'm 6'1" and the bar position with the rizomas is the same.
Single U-bolt (bottom). CAVALLOTTO INF.(FINITO)+20 D.28.. Handlebar and controls (Quantity Required: 1) for 2011 Ducati Monster (360.1.127.1A)

The two models of Rizoma clamps are about identical in height to the old M1100 clamp and the new M1100EVO clamp respectively. If you have a M1100 with a 796 or EVO or Taller Rizoma clamp you will get an extra 3/4".

If you have an EVO, well I suppose you could still change the bars for more height. Or if you think a smaller change is sufficient you could put some 5~10mm shims on the stock bolts. Or get longer bolts and put some 20mm spacers on there.

well, cable length can be an issue at some point. just keep that in mind...

[CrimsonCloak]

That is true.

To get enough cable for 20mm Rizoma risers you may need a new cable. In my case I didn't have any issues because I had already flipped my throttle housing 180 degrees on the bar to clear my 999 style integrated reservoirs. This is easy to do, but I don't know if it will work with the stock control setup.

[rietveld]

So if I buy the stock monster 796 lower clamp it will raise the steering bar about 2 cm?

[CrimsonCloak]

Correct. I think they are about $65 new...Maybe $30~40 used.
