Hi fellow Diavellers, I am struggling to find a good replacement for my stock handlebar - I have a full carbon black 2012 model and want to change the silver painted version with a black anodised or powder coated version.

I have checked all the regulars (Renthal, Rizoma etc) but cant seem to find a good one.

Anyone bought some?

I am having to take my steering head apart to adjust the headstock bearings and thought it was a the right time to change the bars.

I am in the UK so would have to buy on web for some overseas locations.

Check Johnno's thread 'Bar Swap' under modifications. There's a few mentioned there.

if you like the std bend but want black order a set off a cromo, they're not expensive at all surprisingly

I had the same dilemma, and saw the johnno's posts as well (Very good ones) and could not help myself.
After tons of opinions, even to take the original off and paint it (worse idea, it will strip sonner or latter and you'll be without your bike while wait it), I finished buying the one CropDuster mentioned. the Cromo OEM.

Just checked, $180 from Ducati of Omaha, seems like a bargain! It's now on my shopping list.

For what it's worth, I just purchased the LSL drag bar (mainly because I didn't want as much sweep back, a straighter grip and a little more forward lean).
Check out LSL handlebars, they have a good range (but remember if not OEM, the head clamp is very wide on the Diavel and only a few will fit it).

If you have things apart already why not have the original powder coated. I did mine 3 years ago and they are still scratch free. It cost me $30 to have them powder coated.

Hey Lucky, is your bar the 'Superbike Low'?

Just fitted a set of 2015 Diavel dark black bars to my 2011 Diavel.

Cost £100 from my local Duc dealer, and very easy to fit.

Sorry Potts, I coulnt tell you. Don't get flat drag bars though as they won't clear the tank

I'll see if the model is marked on them

I paid $20.00 US to have it powder coated almost 3 years ago and still look like brand new.

As I could not find any (at reasonable price from UK) I simply painted the bars and the mirror stems.
