Installed a set of Tomaselli adjustable clip-ons recently and man, what a difference in handling. Took a couple of weeks to get them adjusted properly, but now that we've found the right height and angle (thanks Speeddog!), I couldn't imagine going back. It takes far less effort to achieve proper body position, the bike just falls into the corners now and generally feels much more planted. Big improvement.
Yes, there's some sacrifice in terms of ride comfort, but not that much (at least with the Tomasellis, IMO), so if you're considering this mod for performance reasons, I say go for it. I don't commute, however, might change my view if I had to do many miles a day in a straight line...but probably not!
Please put up a good pic showing angle of rise. I am currently thinking of new triple and clip-ons, but not sure about comfort and style.

Oh man. That means I have to finally figure out how to post pics here. Uh oh... Will do.
There is a nifty how-to here (http://ducatimonsterforum.org/index.php?topic=109.0) [thumbsup]

In my top 3 performance mod i've done. The Tomaselli's are terrific.
Does this mean that you're changing the angle of your MFW Vario rearsets? To match the new forward riding position.
If you get around to the picture posting - maybe a shot of those too?
i really dug my tommaselli's. here's a couple pics of how i had mine set up, for scduc.

(ah, i miss my 900...)
wow thats super aggressive!
Thank, they look great. Your set up is way too agressive for me, but with the endless adjustments, I am sure I could find a happy spot
Here's my setup. I have a pair of ST4 forks so the install is above the triple as such I don't use the supplied risers.

Aaah, the good old days :) ??? MonsterParts isn't a sponsor yet, is he?
Nice catch.
I wonder if Jeff is precluded from doing so for a given amount of time (seeing as its a competing site to the DML) as a part of the terms of sale or if ....
Not precluded....
I just like being a regular guy and not being here to sell stuff.
stopintime does all the monsterparts selling [laugh]
