Title: How difficult to swap stock bars with clip-ons? Post by: Paramount on September 15, 2016, 05:42:46 AM Hi, I have very little experience with working on my own bikes as I'm only 22. But I was wondering how difficult it would be to swap the stock Ducati Monster 1100 bars with clip ons. Is it something that can be easily done if I have the right tools? Or should I take it somewhere and have them swap the bars out?
Sorry if this is posted in the wrong place or just the dumbest question ever. Thanks Title: Re: How difficult to swap stock bars with clip-ons? Post by: stopintime on September 15, 2016, 06:10:38 AM Welcome - not a stupid question [thumbsup]
If you search "1100 clip ons" we have six pages of results. Some not all that relevant, but enough to keep you busy for a while ;) http://www.ducatimonsterforum.org/index.php?action=search2 (http://www.ducatimonsterforum.org/index.php?action=search2) Clip ons without any rise are going to be radically different. Maybe ok, but not for everyone. You can start with a study of where the lines and cables need to be routed when they suddenly are +/- four inches lower. It might be easy, but wise to be prepared rather than ooops/oh f*** The work involved is straight forward with standard tools. Usually the most difficult is drilling the bars for the electric control plastic boxes - some skip the drilling and simply hold them from rotating with tape around the bars before re-assembly. |
