This probably should be posted in Accessories & Mods, but I think they are standard 7/8" bars, you could get almost anything (dirt bike, flat cruiser bars) all kinds of stuff. There are these too: http://www.suburban-machinery.com/duchypmoto.html (http://www.suburban-machinery.com/duchypmoto.html)

Here's a thread I started about them: http://ducatimonsterforum.org/index.php?topic=3960.0 (http://ducatimonsterforum.org/index.php?topic=3960.0)

Do keep in mind whatever bar you buy has to line up with the air intakes if you want to maintain steering lock.

Thats why I mentioned "Compatible"...
it was due at this matter and it is wider than the 695.

when you said "dirt" it is the "old" handlebars... not the "new" larger a.k.a. "Fatbars", from Renthal or ProTaper... right?

1+ on the 22mm alluminum Rizoma handlebars, I have on my 695 and they look sharp in black and they are a little more aggressive than the stock bars too. Rizoma bar-ends are cool too.

thats the idea....
change to a Black handlebar...

I even consider to powdercoated the stock handlebar on the 696.

But alloy handlebar.. is cooler... [thumbsup]
