Hiya Lazarus!!  Grin

My SO finally swapped bars today (put stock Speed Triples on Monster 696)-all went smoothly, as you suggested, and feels MUCH MUCH better, even just in shop/drive.  applause  He rode it, able to do super tight turns (he thinks) better than w/stock bars.  I was going to ride today-still may no matter how brief, and will let you know what I think they "feel" like. 

BUT, in swap, having small issues with control with "Mode" button  Huh?  Seems he may have over tightened clamp, so 'Mode' button not smooth and would not return on own. He loosened clamp, better but still not quite right.  Anyone know/familiar with this-some plastic button issue or???   

TKS  waytogo and always and, if I really luv bar swap, looks like I know what I will get for XMas (Renthal highbars RED of course)  Grin

How u feeling, btw?  popcorn

Hey lazarus7  You wouldn't happen to have a part number for the handlebars?  Or are they just the standerd 22mm bars?

Thanks

Are there 1" grips available for the 696?  I miss the feeling of that full grip on my old bike.  Thanks.  Police

i BELIEVE any grips will work....
the tapered bars are larger in the middle/ clamping area for increasd stiffness....
i think the grip diameters are both the same....

red rizoma handlebars

Hi Can you send picture with handlebars in far left or right side so I can see where it touch side panels?

Did you have any problems with length of cables or any other problems

i do not have any problems with the cable lengths anywhere,
free steering from lock to lock.....
no binding....
as youll see, the control pods are TIGHT on the tank but do not make contact
even with moderate pressure on the bar ends....
and would be even less of an issue if you rotate the bars up/ forward 1/8 inch or so.....
clearance is VERY tight and certainly could rub under motion/ suspension movement
but not enough apparently to cause even slight cosmetic smudging....
ive got no issues with this setup. waytogo

Lazarus7:  So I was out in the garage this weekend attempting to put on the Rizoma bars, but I don't have enough slack in the cables.  Did you have to pull or reroute anything to make room?

If they do hit, you can always adjust the steering stops out a little bit as well.  That will give you a little bit more clearance on the tank, but you might lose a dgree or two of steering angle.

So if anyone is reading this and wondering.  The Rizoma 22 mm bars will not work with the windscreen.  You have to use the black cap, or cut the windscreen.  The bars are not long enough to clear the reservoirs.
