GT Bar Risers

I just installed the risers on my 2015 Griso.
I’ve only taken a short ride with them, but a noticeable improvement.
Does anyone know if I can also install Mana handlebars with the stock cables?

Thanks,
Scott

Good, and the Mana bars aren't that different, so I would say yes. I've installed the LSL Tour bars on a Griso with zero cable issues; https://gtmotocycles.com/products/lsl-handlebars-tourbars - which would be taller than the stock bars with my risers.
 
I installed the Mana bars on my 1200 Sport with no cable changes. Plenty of slack still left. I do not know how tall your risers are, but if they are similar to the blocks on my 1200 Sport, then I suspect the Griso will be the same.

Hi Guys.
OK great. Thanks for the quick reply.
The stock bars hurt me so much I took to wearing bicycle padded gloves. (And this from a guy that used to hoon around on Laverda twins and 180 degree triples with those awful brevatto bars!) Ageing sucks, but beats the alternative.
I have these wee short legs of a jockey and the torso of an NBA power forward.
The extenders feel much better, but I am thinking that if I could also change the bars to something narrower I might be in the sweet spot. I see those LSL bars come in black, which I prefer. Do the stock bars ends thread into them as the Mana bars do?
Todd, I will reach out to you directly about doing some mods. I live local to you, so I'm hoping we can get together and do some suspension and fueling.

Thanks,
Scott

It worked!!!
The Corbin gunfighter seat arrived last week. It helped, but my elbows still hurt.
I then purchased the Mano bars. (I don't know where they were coming from, but shipping was an eye watering $60.)
They did arrive very quickly.
I drilled the holes for the controls and installed them on top of the GT risers. It is a little snug on the right hand brake line but it does work.
I took her out this morning and took the long way to work.
NO ELBOW PAIN!!! Now I can actually ride the bloody thing. I'm so happy because I just love the Griso, but I only have 1300 miles on it. That is going to change!

The mods to make her where I can finally ride her are:
Lowered foot pegs 1 inch.
Corbin Gunfighter seat
GT Bar risers
Mano Handlebars.

I'm ready to talk to Todd about some fueling and suspension mods now.

Thanks for the post Scott. For shipping costs, per our SHIPPING page... " If the shipping cost seems high, understand for all products we do not make in house incur costs to get them to us from the manufacturer, then to you."
We bring these in from Europe, then to you. Bar's are painfully expensive to ship cost wise.
Since I'm just over the hill from you, I can be of help with the flash at a "locals" cost without the flash tool. We can also be of help with anything service or related and installation and set up of the shock. Purchase the shock only online, and we'll get your scheduled in for the rest when it arrives unless you're a DIY guy.
 
Thanks Todd.
Yes I figured they probably came from Italy. It was a big plus that they were threaded correctly for my bar end weights, so installation was a breeze.. :)
I just sent you an email about fueling and suspension at the info@gtmotocycles.com address. Is that the best way to get in touch?
I have a number of farkles I'm interested in.
Best,
Scott
