[Ducati] Re: Advice for a new (old) rider?

[Jim Calandro]

I got my bike from an older person and he had installed Heli bars which I 
did not like at all.  I gave them away and got some LSL bars that have 
worked very well for me.  They moved the bars forward a little which allowed 
for the pull back I like plus the allowed me to rotate the levers down which 
helped with my wrists.  I think they are about 1" higher than stock and 
really make a difference.

Here is a picture.
