Ducati Monster Forum

I have to admit, these look fantastic. If only I had the loot to pick up a set. And even though I never carry passengers, the optional foot peg carrier really does complete the package.

So who is jumping into the deep end of the pool first? Whomever does, please be sure to review and post images.

They look sharp but I'm waiting on the ones from Speedymoto.

love my rizomas on my S2R800.
top notch quality just like all their other products.
the price wasn't bad for me either, around $525 bucks.

I was expecting these to run at something of a premium, but $810... :o.... They are  a thing of beauty and Rizoma quality is always top-notch.... but I think I'll also hold off to have a close look at the SpeedyMoto ones......  maybe after the early adopters have snapped up the initial batch the price might moderate a little.....

i am considering it, but as i said before i need the passenger pegs. and having the passenger pegs defeats the whole purpose of having the rear sets, as it looks to close to the stock ones. with the stock ones powder coated black, the rizomas don't look anywhere near $1200 better...

They look great...just the price is a bit ridiculous. I know rizoma makes quality things but...damn.

Yeah, thats a lot of cash but they are growing on me...  I'll wait for something cheaper

aren't the purpose of rearsets to place everything further back, so for me would be less likely to drag hardparts next time at Jennings? oooops  [laugh]

There seems to be a lot of interest in these, but a lot of people aren't impressed with the price... maybe I could put together a group buy for you guys and get the price around $700-$730?

They would have to be set further back, as I mentioned. Also, either come colored or work with my red Oberon pegs??

Oh yeah and then I would have to find the money also  [bang]

what i don't understand is why these are so much? i was looking at other rearsets for ducati monsters and they are around $515-$600. where are these so much more? because they are new?

I'm not really sure... we just price them off of what we buy them at. I really have no idea how Rizoma decides on their pricing.

At $700 you can have my order right now, so count me in on a group buy at that price. 

Seriously, that's more like it.

I'd be in the group buy if it was closer to $600 then $700.

no no, what i meant was other rizoma rearsets are $515-$600. why are these particular rizomas so much more than their other ones?

desmo: on a side note, i was looking on your site at the rizoma Sport Universal Handlebar 22mm. are these a direct fit on the 696? i mean will these basically have the same position as the stock bars? and will it fit within the air vents on the tank when fully turned? also what is the length compared to the stock bars?

Do these Rizoma rear sets come with folding foot-pegs as shown in the first pic or is that an option at additional expense?

If there's a group buy...I may be down for it depending on the final price.

Not sure about the 696, but my S2R rearsets came with standard, NON-folding footpegs.
Folding pegs are an additional expense.

The bars are 730mm wide and 73mm tall. I was assured today by my distributor that they will bolt on no problem to the 696 and not have clearance issues if installed within a certain range. They are slightly taller and slightly more drawn back than stock. I'm not sure if the width is different - I don't have a 696 here while I type this so I can't check. I can look tomorrow at the shop though.

I can't say for certain until they arrive... sorry!

Anyone have experience installing these rearsets? Easy install? $800 is a lot, but they look beautiful  [thumbsup]

Also, anyone know what mirrors are those mounted in the pics from the first post?

As far as I know none of them have been released yet, so I doubt anyone has any experience on the 696. Rizoma's other rear sets are very easy to install. They really take the time to develop a proper product!

I'm thinking the mirror is the Elisse, but am not 100% on that: http://www.rizoma.com/Prodotti/ProdottiUniversal.cfm?ID_categoria=1&IDSez=1 (http://www.rizoma.com/Prodotti/ProdottiUniversal.cfm?ID_categoria=1&IDSez=1)

I guess when they offer the only alternative, the price can be whatever they want it to be.
Still, the product is visually and operationally beautiful. If I'm good, Santa may leave these for me this year to add next spring.

do you have pics of your rear sets? I have a S2R as well~
