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.

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.

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.
