Ducati Monster Forum

I just had Eastern Cycle Ducati install a set of their handlebar risers on my S2R800. What a difference in comfort, especially for around town / slower speed riding! I have trouble with back pain and carpal tunnel syndrome in my wrists-- the stock setup was ok at highway speeds, but sometimes my hands would go numb riding at slower speeds or in traffic. My back would start hurting after a couple of hours of riding. The risers lift the bar about 1.5 inches and give me a much more upright and comfortable riding position. Great Mod for short money!!

get 'em here (no online ordering- you'll have to call them- they've got risers for all Monster models) : http://www.easterncycleducati.com/ and click on ECD Parts.

PS- I have no affiliation with Eastern Cycle - just a happy customer.

i've been looking for these raisers for my S4RS for quite some time. i tried calling that No. with no luck ( calling int'l from Qatar ). is there any way i can order them online ??

thanks mate  [thumbsup]

khalid,

   i insatlled a set of these on my '05 s2r immediately when i bought it new. some say you have to fumble with the brake lines & throttle cable to allow the installation, as it eats up any slack that is in the lines/cables. all i ended up doing is rolling the brake line banjos down a bit & it was on in about 15 min. there is a link below to them. hope this was of some help.

+ 1 on the SpeedyMoto. 20 mm rise makes a huge difference in comfort.

On my bike

this should be in accessories & mods, but  all good info for the riser rider [popcorn]

I realized that immediately after clicking 'post'! Apologies

Those SpeedyMotos look really classy. But at a price-- almost triple the price of the ECD's and not as much rise.

thanks Capt baz

i'll give them a try ....   [thumbsup] [thumbsup]

Will adding something like this take the weight of my wrists when riding my 696?  I am short, 5'8, but after a while I realize that my wrists get a little sore.  I am pretty top heavy (stalky) and am curious how my wrists would feel without some thickness. 

I have noticed all sorts of different sizes.  How do you decide height wise?

Also, does it affect performance at all? 

khalid, this is a different manufacturer, and you can order online, try http://www.zianet.com/GenMar/
they also make ones for pre 02 Monsters which non of the other do any more :(

+1 again on the SpeedyMoto item.  I had the Eastern Cycle blocks inserted for a week, then went for the one-piece SpeedyMoto riser/mounts -- much better and well worth the money.  Genmar looks a little better made than the Eastern, but still, like stacking up blocks IMHO  ;D

can you tell me what kind of mirrors those are? I hate my stockers.
THanks

Welcome Muskrat!

If that question was for me - you can read about it here:   http://ducatimonsterforum.org/index.php?topic=7427.0

They are Rizoma Impulsive. Mounted on wideners for better REAR view around my 3XL body. They look much better without the wideners, but I needed the upgraded functionality. Most people, and I, prefer to get their Rizoma stuff from PJsParts.  http://www.pjsparts.com/catalog/index.php?cPath=265&osCsid=e789916b8adc2befe3b3b7e90dbae1ce

Do a search on Rizoma in here - loads of information to find [thumbsup]

+2 for the SpeedyMoto risers, they're expensive but very well made

Yes those are Rizoma Impulsives.  You will not regret buying them when you see the carbon fiber inserts!

In terms of comfort I am still contemplating whether I should get the Speedymoto risers w/ OEM handlebar or a Brutale handle bar to replace the OEM one, which is damaged from a crash.  Leaning towards the Brutale bar.

I switched to Rizoma bars on my S4R, similar contour to the Brutale -- more pullback/sweep which makes a huge difference over the OEM.  Search this forum for Brutale, I think you'll find another thread with a lot of discussion about bars.
