Middle Earth is Zurich, in the lovely Police state of Switzerland. Mind you the passes are good ...
Ok Riser update. I have been e mailing Cycle Cat in the USA. What an excellent company ... immeadiate contact , and very very helpful. I paid 160 ish for mine, and I know you can get them direct on the internet for much cheaper. But with the service i got, I am more than happy
Here is the resume.
The set I bought had tubing made by "suppliers that supply HRC" ... and were about a year old. Since then they have reverted to std Ducati fitment and clips.
The tubing is less flexible than standard and about 2mm in diameter bigger.
CC suggestion was that I used "zip ties" ( they do this on their own show bikes etc). But use pliers to make sure it is as tight as fcuk. And it looks ok to be honest. They are mailing me the new tubing asap, and new clips. But suggest staying with the zip ties, as it's what they do .....
Here is some advice in general. Take of the nose cone, I couldn't be arsed cos it is minus 13 in my garage , and the extra 1/2 meant a lot!.
****ting the yoke off is easy ... you just need courage. Three bolts undone and hit wth a rubber mallet
The risers do not sit as high on the fork legs as the Ducatii standard ones. If you move them that high, then they will foul the fairing. i reckon mine are about 1.25 higher than standard.
Getting them the same height is a bit of a fag .... but at normal temps, and a cup of coffee , you'll suss it out fine.
If you set the bar high ish, you will have to re-route the throttle so it exits BELOW the bar. Small pre holes are drilled at for both above and below fitting.
The rubber grommit on the clutch side is too small to use with the std bolt. Take the grommit from the normal clutch res holder.
Mine came with bar ends about three inches long .... too wide, too ugly. So i will look at removing or modding them.
The brake and clutch reserviours are mounted on the bar ends , inside the cockpit. They slightly obscure the clocks ... ish
Stuart at Spareshack is also a bit of a gem .....
Hope that helps,... feel free to e mail me if you have any problems
cheers PP, got mine from states coming in soooon....seems fairly straight forward and its cold, but not that cold!! so garage and a coffee should work.
