Greetings everyone! I have been vacillating between a Paul Smart (yes, there are still some new ones around) and a Sport Classic. Being that I am in my 2nd half century :-( the riding position of the Paul Smart is a real concern. I know that the bar risers on the new 07 Classics will fit 06 Classics, but DNA says the fairing on the PS prevents them from being used on it. Has anyone found a solution for raising the bars on a PS?
I am torn between having some real "Garage Jewelry" and something I can also ride. All suggestions greatly appreciated.
Happy holidays,
Keih

I'm currently doing a preemptive strike and ordering parts for my yet-to-be-delivered 1000s.

I'm a short guy, so I think this mod makes sense for me.

Unfortunately, part no. 96752506B - the new clip on kit - is becoming scarce and I've had a hard time finding a vendor in the US that has a set in stock.

Are there any universal/adjustable clip ons that will do the same job as the Ducati parts?

Any sources or leads for either the Ducati part or another aftermarket system would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

We have something like this from Aella Casuno

It helps to shorten the far reach and was designed for Riders in japan on the Pauls Smart which is essntially the same as the 1000s
The feedback we got from Riders in Japan was better comfort and easier reach. and will clear the tank and fairing
Comes in Polished or Bright Dip
Cost is $515 Shipped

JC, Thanks for this. I've never come across those before. However, I think they're a little outside of my price range for this mod.

I already have some 7 degree handlebars that I was planning on adding to some aftermarket risers.

Am I correct in thinking that the clip on risers of 07 and later bikes are the same as the "comfort" risers Ducati sells for the 06 models?

Thanks

the 1000s and the Paul Smart have very little clearance.
the biggest issues you will have is clearing the tank, fairing and instrument panel.
I would recommend waiting til you have the bike and makeing the adjustments of the stock clip ons and see what iit's like.
Ride it first to get used to what it is and if thats too low you can remove the spacers.
If it is still too low you will be very limited as to what aftermarket or DP risers you can use
good luck
