New Grips New Bar Ends
These are the original grips the monster came with which makes them 5 years old. Weathered and faded, they must go.
Nice texture on the Magura bars.
Rizoma billeted aluminum bar ends and OEM Ducati grips and throttle tube. Everyone and their momma upgrades to Rizoma grips and I even considered it myself, in fact, I still may one day, but I have always been fond of black rubber grips.
Removing original throttle tube.
Now that is black.
I was surprised by how light the Rizoma bar ends were, too light in fact. The whole point of bar ends,, besides the cosmetic advantages, are to decrease bar vibration. I think these may not be heavy enough. I’ll now after tomorrow morning after I take the monster to work. If there is any noticeable increase in vibration I’ll return them and get OEM Ducati bar ends.

New Brembo Master Cylinder Bracket
Previous owner had to drill out the original mirror stem on the right hand side. Half of the upper allen bolt was still attached to the master cylinder. I had to drill that out to get the bracket off.
