    Just managed to score a pair of lower clip-ons for the Intregra. Tis funny how things work out. Paul how wide is your Guzzi top triple clamp? I have the handlebar risers/clamps off the CB250T I stripped a while back, which may be able to be adapted if interested. Were held on by four bolts, not rubber mounted. I'll post a pick tomorrow.

    Paul here's pics of the adapter. Between mounting hole centres is around 1 & 1/2 inches. In line with the handle bar clamp holes. Still have the protrusions for instruments but are easily removed if needed.

    D'oh!

    Sorry guys.. Missed the replies.. (too much stuff to wade through these days)

    The GREAT thing about Guzzis is that most of the bits are interchangeable with other Guzzis. The Mk2 actually has the std handle bar lugs on the top clamp alread AND I have genuine Guzzi tops for em too... I also have a complete spare top fairing and instrument mounts all of which (with a little poking and proding) should allow me to run normal bars with minimum fuss.

    The restricting thing will be the length of the cabling to the switchgear but thats no biggie 'cos it all uses molex connectors (can get off the net)...

    I'm finding the clip ons a little harder for a full days riding and the rear sets cramp Vickis feet up on longer trips, hence the desire to change... I can get the std controls for about $30 a side (ya gotta love Guzzis)

    So whats stopping me...

    I actually LIKE clip ons...

    I'm worried it will look odd (yes I KNOW it already looks ODD)

    I don't want to fuck up a nice original bike

    I like clip ons

    I'm terribly lazy (getting the old clip ons off is a drama - lifting the top yoke etc...

    I'll think on it a little more....

    Fair enough too. I was a bar man myself till I got the FC2 {wanted to convert but never ever found one of those round-to-its}. The GB's seem to be spot on, but has the standard dings in the tank, something bars would have avoided. Seems Guzzi bits are quite reasonable in price Paul.
