Hello all.  As stated in the tile, I am a newbie.  Longtime Duc fan (love the 851) but only recently got my license.  Bought a Pearl White 696 in mid-November and have put close to 400 miles on it so far. 

Unfortunately, I had a little accident.  Fortunately, though, it was slow speed and only minor damage.  Bruised my ego (and ankle) more than anything.  Replaced the shifter with an MW reverse shifter.  I'm looking for a replacement handlebar, so if anyone has a line on one, please let me know. 

Welcome to the DMF!  Congrats on your 696, but sorry to hear about your accident.

You'll probably get better results on the bars if you post up in the Parts Wanted section.

Best of luck getting back on the road, have fun, ride safe. [moto]
