Rizoma rearset vs Sato rearset

[DarkMonster620]

sorry, little side note.

Anyone know if the Rizomas do or will come without black ano?  clear or polished or something?
thanks

sorry, they only come in black...

thanks.
i sent an email to Rizoma to see if they can be gotten un-ano'd.  no answer yet.  I don't expect the answer to be 'yes' but at least if they do say yes, I'll be pleasantly surprised.

this whole swingarm shaft rotation business has to be nonsense.
if the swing arm shaft was supposed to rotate, it wouldn't be threaded.if the swing arm shaft was rotating, those bolts on my Rizoma rearsets would be rotating, and i assure you they are not. the swingarm itself is all that moves. the shaft is in a static position, as are the rearselts, and the bolts. it's just like a front wheel axle really. the rotation is in the wheel, not the axle.

We went through this last year and it does rotate, swingarm with the shaft, shaft rotating on bearings in the cases.
Yes, there is is very little rotation, but it's enough for the rearsets needing to allow for this minor movement. Stock does it, CycleCat does it, GillesTooling does it and other brands should too.

yeah i know.  I sighed and shook my head as I clicked "send" but I can hope, right?

[Privateer]

exceeded my expectations with a prompt reply:

Dear Andy,
thanks a lot for your interest in our brand.
Unfortunately we supply the rear control kit only in the version you can see in our catalogue.

For any other question please do not hesitate and contact us.

Best regards

I diddn't know anything about this.  But your post got my interest  so I went to the Ducati web site and downloaded the parts book in pdf.  You should take a look.

Removing annodization isn't all together difficult, doing it right can be however.

If you choose to get these and need a small parts annodizer, here's some options from my former hobby:

Those are paintball annodizers, they're used to small batch stuff, and funky colors/spashes/whatnot you may want.

Edit: I will add something on topic.  I love my rizoma's If i wanted to get them in silver I would find some place local and have them stripped and anod clear.

yeah, i considered that option but 1) i've never seen something stripped to bare aluminum that looked good.  Not saying it can't happen, just not in my experience, 2) I don't want to pay that much for them and then spend a bunch of money "fixing" them.

It seems silly to me that they don't offer a naked version like all their other parts.  /shrug.

Stripping the ano, and leaving it that way is a bad idea.  Ano isn't only for looks, it has protective properties.  Having it stripped and anno'd clear =
