 Installed some new black Renthal High Street bars this evening. Ever since I put the Sargeant seat on i've felt just a bit funny, since it raised me about an inch. These are about inch higher and have more sweep back, but narrower by 1 1/2 inches. Double wall construction which they claim will cut some buzziness from the bar too. The CRG's don't need the half barrel adaptors, only the wedges. With the Pazzos I might be getting close to too much black around this part of the bike...what do you think?

looks good bud.. I will stop by and see it in person nest time I am around your way.  The blue adjustors look good with your tank

More pix please???!!!  :P   [thumbsup] What bike is urs??  Have 09 696 and considering options for bar swap....Renthals, Rizomas or hubbie's Speed Triple Stock bars...ANYthing bit higher rise and more swept back would be perfect-Oh and CHEAPEST is best at moment too  [roll]   

Thanks man, what hours are you working now?

Funny the other day I was walking up the "Lift" to get a cup o joe and spied a red M750 sitting in a parking lot at Grace and Adams, any idea whose it is?

I'll take a few more in the morning, sunset caught me just as I was finishing up.

I did a bit of shopping around and found these for about $70 to my door.

Most happi with price.  ARE they higher, even slightest, than stock and swept back more perhaps?  If so, I am sold too lol  Look forward to pix when u can and what you feel is difference between these and stock.  THANK YOU!!!

What J said!  :)  I sat on a Sport Classic, and the sitting position was PERFECT for me.  However the dated *dad* era wasn't.  [roll]

What you installed sounds PERFECT for what I'm looking for.  Where can one purchase them, and do I need to get risers, and or a new triple clamp?  Does the linkage have enough room to bolt on, or do you have to lengthen anything? (clutch/brake levers)

Thank you again!!!

You've just perfectly enunciated the reason I'll never buy a retro. [thumbsup]

OP, yep more pics please. Your bike looks interesting.

here you go. My lines and cable might have a bit more, but then you're looking at routing some stuff to go any higher.

Decided I need to paint the top clamp and risers.

the tank art looks AWESOME!!! [beer] nice work

Thanks, back in the day you could buy it out of the DP catalog

makes me wish I'd gone with the blue adjusters on my Pazzos.   [thumbsup]

Thanks, they're not quite as dark as I'd like, but they work.

My next purchase is going to be a set of black Spiegler SS brake & clutch lines w/blue fittings ;D

Really like the way the rockers were painted on the tank...very artistic indeed.

Hubbi wants to put his Speed Triple stock bars on my 09 696-thinks it'll give me lil more rise and sweep back I "need" for comfort...wondering if this will work with cables etc. But he REALLY prefers to do dirtbike bars or Renthals, like urs maybe.....
Oh n tank paint is nice on urs too! U said you bought it that way???

yeah back in 1999-2002 Ducati Performance offered about 6 different airbrush "suites" ie tanks, side panels, front fenders. Mostly for carbed bikes, but I think they still offer a Ducati Corse edition. Mine was already on it when I bought it used...had every bit of 212 miles on it then.

This is it...I SWEAR, no more tinkering with this part [laugh]. I took it to work this morning and engraved a logo into it, then hit it with a coat of clear satin.
