Handlebar option?

Sfregiato Posts : 467 Join date : 2014-06-13 Age : 74

I want to move my hand position back 1" and perhaps 1/2" higher. There seems to be no risers that are available to fit the hole spacing of the '12 GRiSO. I have looked and talked to a couple providers.
So, perhaps a handlebar swap is in order. Anyone done this. I don't want to have to re-cable, so just a small difference from stock would be the ticket.

you don't have to change bars. Some people have machined a spacer that mounts under you current mount to give about 1" rise, and others have added things like the Roxs Risers [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] this isn't the model I don't think Rboe on here has them on his GRiSO.

You guys rock! Why didn't I think of a spacer underneath? Doh!

Uzidzit was working on some nice machined spacers. I don't how far he has gone with that though.

I emailed him about it. Thanks. I need to look how the risers are bolted on and how much lift I can get there.

A local GRiSO owner machined these perfect spacers for his GRiSO
So you can see you can get a lot of lift without changing cables and lines.

Can you put me in contact with him. I want those!

I sent him an email and will let you know, I've seen another GRiSO with some just like it so I guess it's something that can be machined up easily

Much appreciated as a short armed rider with neck issues, I need to be more upright for longer rides.

Got some on order! Thanks!

So that photo on the "Moto Guzzi wheel sticker" thread was really you and the wife?

Oh please, I need one of these. Would someone let me know how to place an order ?

contact this guy- [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] his name is Jon Armitage

Carlotto Posts : 26 Join date : 2014-05-18 Age : 46

Thank you, I have emailed him.

Carlotto Posts : 26 Join date : 2014-05-18 Age : 46

Haven't heard back from Jon Armitage, would anyone please nudge him for my attention. Embarassed

Those raisers in combination with the ROX should help my neck tremendously.

Jon had mentioned he would be gone for a couple weeks and would deal with the risers at that time. They were being anodised and would be ready later.

I have had about three requests for raisers they should be avail in mid july the anodizer has them right now I will have cost then but it will be not too bad I have .5 and 1" about 10-12 sets of each I made them out of 7075 so they are only going to be clear no colors

Carlotto Posts : 26 Join date : 2014-05-18 Age : 46

While I don't need a set *Yet* I've got to the point in my life where my body is constantly surprising me! and not in a good way. I'll put my mitts up for a set of half-inchers please.

Ill happily purchase a set of half inch risers too.

» What if a GRiSO is not an option anymore?
» Stelvio NTX rear shock remains a great option
