Hi everyone, I’m looking to get a little bit of a more aggressive feeling out of my Duke for track/canyon use. I've already ordered some Tyga rearsets, and I'm very excited to get those on soon. But I searched the forum and I didn't find any definitive answer on a good replacement handlebar. My biggest priorities would be for it to be narrower, and flatter with less rise so I can get a bit more forward lean. If anyone knows of any that would fit in the stock bar mounts and be compatible with the stock controls, or any replacement mounts, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks!!

i believe these are wider which makes you have to lean forward more

Possible, I have seen here a RC390 with duke top plate and handle bars. The interesting thing is to make the lock work though, that will need some fabbing.

I thought they were virtually same bike but with different body kits. You can't just get pair clips ons and be good.

Problem with clip-ons is the way the Duke's top triple tree pinches at the front of the fork, instead of the back or side, this interferes with clip-ons.... They would have to be made specific to the bike to work around this..... easier to use a top plate like the ComposiMo linked above that bolts to the stock risers & puts the bars lower & forward. Bonus with that unit is it relocates the gauge down to the plate rather than way up in the air, much better look IMO.

Woodcraft also make the same type, but only listed for the 790/890. Doesnt relocate the gauge either but does look sweet....

Here's a thought, get a different bike. or live with it. I've been down this road before. it usually better to just get right tool for job.

Reviving a dead thread here, does anyone know if the Woodcraft plate for the 790 fits the 390?
