Hi All;

I have a 2023 mandello standard. I'm looking for a 1" up and 1" back handlebar riser. I probably would be ok with just the 1" up.. Any suggestions on vendors and availability. Will the stock cable(s) lenght still be o.k.? Thank you.
 
I have these at home; aliexpress.com/item/32886942617.html

they fit, no issue with the cables, only cons is that they are not that beauty. I used for some km, then removed and remained with the stock position, little less comfy but more pleasure to ride in the corners.
 
I got Rox ones - 1inch back/forward, 1 1/2inch up. Fit with existing cables.

Rox Speed FX 3R-B17R-15M 1-1/2in. Barback Risers for 1-1/8in. Handlebars​

Thanks for the info. I'm still looking around.
 
mv-motorrad.de has the following

I think they may be made by sw-motech but they are silver and appear to keep the nice V100 Mandello plate on top so the bike looks stock. I am thinking about ordering these but haven't pulled the trigger yet.

This was a box I wanted to check if getting risers👍. The top V100 plate looks nice - I’d hate to give that up!

[ Edit 7/30/23: The page for these risers now says, Unfortunately, this product is no longer available. ]

Concerning risers… I went the Rox route, like @fredfrency , BUT, I ended up getting a set of “blems” for $60 (half price) … model B17R Block Offset Risers. They raise the bar 1 1/2” up and 1” back. So, if price put you off (as it did me, initially), look for the blems - which includes customer returns, overstock, etc - mine were perfect). Rec’d them yesterday, and 20 mins later… here are some pics during install. They fit perfectly. Comments…

- A perfect fit
- The cap hole spacing is such that the nice original V100 Mandello top plate will not work. (In my case, I don’t see it anyway, due the QuadLock Mount that fits my phone over the center of the bar).
- The existing cable lengths work with the riser. No extension needed.
- The new position brings the bars closer to the rider, but also more centrally located over the ignition key. I moved my SW-Motech tank bag in the rearward direction by about 1 1/2” to open up some space. I still have room on the tank bag mount slider to move more, if needed, but this arrangement looks to be just fine.
- MUCH more comfortable seat to bar geometry!
- Quality fit and finish. All parts are included that are necessary for the job (includes an insert with return policy, warranty and install instructions). And, I can vouch for great customer service, as I wasn’t sure about fitment since the V100 isn’t a listed Guzzi model. I’ve since written them to let them know this Rox model works with the V100, and they will be updating their fitment chart next week👍😁.

Thanks for your information. Great photos. I just received my Rox risers for my Mandello and they went on easily and look great. No issues with cable length. Just a reminder for anyone doing this type ofupgrade. Use loctite on the bolts and periodically check the tightness at 18-20 ft/lbs.

Thanks for all of the photos. I’m looking at ROX and sw motech, both bar back risers. I saw in another post there used to be a riser that allowed you to use the factory bar cover, anyone else know of one? I would like to keep it as well, but need to note the handlebars more importantly.
 
I just got mine a few days ago. After about an hour my lower arms start to ache. I am thinking about risers as well. Since I have the Navale I also would like to keep the plate but from what I can find it doesn't appear to be possible. I am considering the Rox models that move forward and back but I am afraid they won't look so good. I might just go with the ones BDS installed on his.

I installed the bar back/forward risers on mine last week. I wish they were bead blasted to blend in a bit better, but they feel much better. I may throw my OE bar cap in the mill and slightly modify the hole, then I could reinstall it.
