[Ducati] 748 / superbike bar risers

[Rich Roberts]

ditto that. You have lots of constraints, but within those constraints you will get as much improvement with CycleCat as any others or more, and simply they are some of the nicest products out there

i have a 916 and i really like the cycle cat dbr1s but don't expect a
lot of adjustability in real life.  it was pretty tricky getting them to
clear lock to lock and there's not much leeway left after finding the
right spot.

they made a tremendous difference allowing me to enjoy riding longer
distances.  i also feel that they make the bike more maneuverable on the
track (more leverage)
