Coincidentally I was looking at the same bars on the same site last night.
Why not install the rapid bike racing or evo then you can really put power where you want it in your rev range.

The bike doesn't seem to have the power to pull stock gearing to the redline as it is, and I spend very little time in 6th gear on my local roads with the stock gearing. I'm hoping this will allow me to use 6th gear more, and also smooth out low speed 2nd gear riding.
It seems counterintuitive, but frequently, lowering stock gearing slightly can increase top speed on the track if you cannot increase power, and increase fuel economy on backroads. Now, if you ride on an autobahn your results will differ. :wink2:

Factories gear their vehicles to the moon to achieve better test numbers, but the test profile may not replicate an individual's typical riding conditions. My idea of gearing choice on the street is to inexpensively match the bike's 'sweet spots' to my riding environment, optimizing acceleration, fuel economy, vibration (think mirrors) and minimizing drive-line lash at low speeds.Still itching to install...

Visit the thread ECU MappingMore power is never a bad thing, and this bike could certainly use more punch on the track, but I find that it's more than adequate on the street. I manage to coax felony speeds out of a 50HP bike without too much trouble. :laugh:
A couple of obstacles there:
I have put a $$$ constraint on what I will do to this bike, and they say it's not compatible w/my Mac systems anyway, so that may be a deal-breaker. Nor could I quite glean from their website what performance gains the RB system would yield on the Supersport in quantifiable terms.
Can you tell us exactly what measurable improvements you've experienced w/this software?
Here's a link to the part in question. Actually it does not say Rizoma for the clamp, but is 'compatible' with Rizoma bars. I believe the clamp is made in Germany:Hi,
You publish a photo of performancepart clamp with risers and talk about rizoma ?
What is exactly your future clamp ?
Personally, I'm waiting for fitting LSL clip ons for a sport position and confortable (+37mm rise and inclination bars 5°) and perhaps i change the clamp.
Performancepart.de offer a clamp for ducati st without risers for handlebar.
I order frequently from the italo shop, Artur is very helpful and reliable. If it's not on his site, he will still get it for you, he got me the front fairing at a good price , and i wouldn't have dance around my local dealer.OK. Shorty levers: done. (Rizoma triple clamp supposed to ship from Germany tomorrow...fingers crossed!)
One down, two to go.
yeah they are finished off nicely too. They look pretty neat.Here's a link to the part in question. Actually it does not say Rizoma for the clamp, but is 'compatible' with Rizoma bars. I believe the clamp is made in Germany:

I already have an LSL 'Superbike' bar on the ST2 and will use that bar on the Supersport with the clamp pictured below. Then I'll switch the ST2 back to stock bars, with risers.
Another vendor with possibly the same part:

UPS says the Triple clamp arrived in Philadelphia early this morning, and was just by scanned customs officials. Should arrive here Monday p.m. Extremely eager to have at it. Too bad we're in the middle of selling our house, and delivering the RC51 to its new home all in the same week...may be a week before I can mount it.
But suddenly there's not a big rush to complete the touring setup, since avoiding homelessness (can always live with my bikes I suppose :grin2has taken precedence over the planned Canadian trip for now. On the bright side, the change in plans means that I'll be around to do a couple of Ducati trackdays in early September...come on shift lever! :smile2:

What are the concerns??Performancepart.de send me this photo after questions about their clamp and clipons .
I asked them possibilities to have a nice clamp with clipons on.What are the concerns??
Very nice !!The Performance Part triple clamp ordered through Italo-Shop-Neuss arrived on schedule. Not charged VAT but shipping of 40 EUR to the US came to 370 EUR total w/o handlebar, as I have my own already. I stuck with traditional 7/8" (22mm) bar diameter to expand my choices. This light, nimble bike doesn't need those heavy duty motocross type bars on the ADV Touring bikes, or the 1" bars to muscle a Harley. :smile2:

The advantage to my mind of a conventional handlebar mount is to get away from non-adjustable clip-on type bars that have become so trendy on sport touring bikes that result in an expensive, and often frustrating, search for that one ideal set.
While racing clip-ons are great on the track, and high clip-ons are fine for sport riding and touring, they are optimal only for those individuals who happen to possess the physical measurements those bars were designed to meet. I find that conventional bars give a wide range of ergonomic options on the street to suit the rider and riding environment. Style does matter to me, but it is less important than comfort and control. I care more about how I feel riding the bike than how I look. :wink2:
So my Supersport will sport 'streetfighter' ergonomics on the street appropriately enough if I can find the time to actually install the parts.
The only problem I see with the new clamp is that there is not enough material to mount the stock clip-ons if I want to use them at the track. Not a big issue, as the triple clamp takes no more time to swap than the bars, and actually the controls and switches are the biggest part of the swap.
