[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]Hi Guys, I’m a happy new owner of 07 GRiSO 1100, which I bought for a song. It’s already outfitted with everything I need. DQ exhaust, Risoma bars, ASV levers, throttle lock etc. I have to say that, this bike is impressive and I own California v11ev.

Welcome to the Ghetto, Chef! Looks just like my first GRiSO except for the pipe wrap. Of course it's your bike, but IMNSHO, that's gotta go. [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

Hi Pete, that will be the first thing to do. I never understood why people are wrapping their pipes

Black looks good on red, coat them. What a deal on the G. How many miles?

Swing arm bearings and shock linkage bearings. A must to address on any CARC bike.

The GRiSO is doing great. It’s an amazing motorcycle. Sadly, it has a sport handlebars installed, which seems to be lower than the original, and I think I’ll have a hard time finding handlebar risers. Riding position is a little bit cramped for me, but I didn’t feel any pain after 1 hour ride. The sound of the DQ exhaust is pure bliss. This bike just ask you to ride more aggressively. One thing I have to get used to is the clutch. It feels so different than my 98 California V11EV. I put back the top box luggage rack and I’m looking at some saddle bags options. I’m trying to make it a sport tourer. Does anyone has an experience with the SW Motech LC2 bag

Handlebar risers are available from Onur in Turkey. Quite a few of us have them on our bikes. I also have a set of Rox risers knocking about if you're interested but they're ugly compared to Onur's ones.
You can contact Onur via PM or he advertises on the web I believe.

I already talked to Onur and he said that his risers won’t work. This is what I have installed

Cheaper than I could do. Go for it. You could amortise some of the cost by on-selling the ugly bits of munt that are on it at the moment.

Hi Chris, that’s awesome. I’m going to need a set of handlebars as well. The current “Risoma “ bars are different diameter in the middle. Can you guys recommend ? Also what is the length of the OEM handlebar risers? Thank you

Glad to see it's working out for you. The clutch is the same double plate, just activated by a master & slave cylinder.
