Sometime between 2011 and 2012 Ducati fitted the 796 riser to the EVO. You might already have it but you'll need to compare if you can't see from the snap I posted.

Thought you were still working? You can't be THAT old!  Roll Eyes Bear in mind, I'm very high-mileage...

I will compare risers down at the shop and get the tallest one.

And I am still working, but I'm getting to the point of just playing the game. So yes, I am that old.  Shocked

Thanks Jeff. Yes, it's the MA005 that I'm looking at because it has a 20 mm lower bend than the MA008, and 2 degrees more sweep-back (if I'm understanding this correctly).
Pity Rizoma doesn't give you a comparison with stock "New Monster" too but I suppose they don't merely sell to us. The stock bar is pretty straight though. Not sure whether you can feel those extra 2 degrees of sweep but I KNOW you can feel the difference in rise.

BTW, the wrist angle is quite natural on mine and I didn't hear any complaints from my son who's 6' 3" and has bad wrists when he rode it 80+ miles one afternoon. If there had been the "slightest" issue..., I'd have heard...  Grin Shy he ain't...

This is why the pictures that you and others post up are so helpful. And the stock bar is definitely quite straight. Feels good at first but after a while, not so much. At least for those of us higher up on the antique scale.  Smiley
