I want to try and rotate the brake and clutch controls "down" a tadge. But how does one do this , as there seem to be pins locating every item to every other item on the ducati!!!
Do you have to rotates the front brake and the throttle, or is it easier just to rotate the bar itself?
Remove the clip-on's & either file flat/pull out the pins , you need to file the pins locating the clip-ons on the fork tubes Well thats what i did the first day i got the bike home !!! You can't rotate the bar as one off the screws goes though a slot on the bar !
Swiss,you can't do that,as pointed out previously,as the screws go through a recessed part of the clip on.If you take out the screws and rotate the clip ons,you can't get the screws back in.As totto said,out with the pins is the only way.Unless your clip ons are different?
i did mine a couple of weeks ago, really not difficult, - the hardest bit is getting an allen key into the bottom allen bolt, - i used a round ended allen key thing. Once I got the clip on I had a go with a Dremel to file the pin away but too many sparks too close to the petrol tank, - so an ordinary file did the job in not much time. I think it may be the earlier model Ducs that have the pin on each clip on, -or it could be that later models have their levers at a better (more down ward) position.
It is well worth doing, - I ride with 2 fingers on my levers and before with the levers too high (flat) it would leave my arms really tense as the tendons are too extended.
