After looking at some of the tailchops at Mallory, methinks that will be next on the list.............

Ducati do a kit which is the S4R set-up for the S4. It consists of handlebars, top yoke, clamps and all bolts - roughly about £250 but you would need to check on that. Part no: 96827601B. I don't know if that is a higher riding position than the existing S4 clipons as I thought that the S4R is a sportier ride than the S4??
Another thing is that if you are set on taking the weight off the front end, you should invest in a steering damper. If you do any kind of 'spirited' riding, the Monster prefers your weight over the front to calm it down a bit. Although they are not everyones cup of tea, lower clip-ons are often recommended to make the front end more stable. Great for fast stuff but not so good for commuting.
but then again, personally speaking, comfort isn't a number one issue for me - I'm commuting into London on a 996 at the moment.
- my neck and me are not on good talking terms at the moment.
Something to think about anyway,
hope this helps,
