Hello I am a newbie to forum my Ducati and motorcycles. I started riding late last summer and fell in love with my lil duc. I installed bar risers but i would still like to bring the bars up and back I found a Ducati performance comfort set but it's for the 696 I also searched the forums and it seems everyone wants to go lower with thier bars. Thanks for any advice
The rookie
The Rizoma bars will probably be a little higher, but more importantly they point backwards more, sweep back.
Check if you think you have enough cables and hoses first.

Will they work with the handlebar risers? How tough is it to drill the location holes
They bolt on to the risers just like the ones you have.
Drilling holes on a round bar can be a challenge, but not too hard. Put some tape on, so the drill bit doesn't slip off at once.
If you miss a few times - doesn't matter - the scars will be hidden under the electric switch controls.
depending on what kind of ergonomics you need, you can potentially find something from Pro-Taper in both rise and sweep, but you'll more than likely need new hydraulic lines from Spiegler to accompany the change...
