Noticed this a little while ago on my Stornello and although this is my first Guzzi, I don't believe this was intended.

It seems the right mount is installed slightly higher than the left. No particular reason for the thread other than it is a good idea to document factory mistakes.

I never looked close enough on my V7, but is the risers an offset design? I.E. does the bar cup not directly align with the center of the riser post/bolt?

If so would unbolting the caps, removing the bars temporarily, and spinning the riser on the right side correct it?
 
Per Kev's comment: I noticed this on my V7II Stone and made the change he suggested. Definite improvement.
 
The pic from above doesn't show it. Perhaps a view from the front or side would be better. Maybe a washer or two installed incorrectly?
