V100S handlebar width

I am investigating a way to reduce the handlebar width of my soon-to-be-purchased V100 Mandello S. This is because I will have to ride it regularly for about 30 yards along a narrow passageway to get to my workshop. There is abrasive brickwork on either side of the passage (it’s in an ancient part of England and the brickwork can’t be altered). At present I ride/ manoeuvre a BMW R1100S along this passageway (having first retracted the mirrors) but the clearance on either side of the handlebars is still minimal; over the years I have scuffed the bar-ends on several occasions. I reckon the tip-to-tip width of the Guzzi bars (mirrors retracted) to be approx 82cm which is 5cm or so more than the BMW so a problem awaits. A first thought is to remove the anti-vibration bar-ends to give more clearance. Does anyone have any experience of removing the bar-ends and what, if any, the impact is on vibration? Or, are there narrower bars? All suggestions most welcome! Thanks.
 
Try taking off the bar ends and install a bar snake. I guess you will also need some fold up after market adjustable levers.
I hope this helps you.👍🤔
 
You have both narrower bar options, and flush bar ends like linked below. Vibration will be sorted by fueling corrections and exhaust flow, though I know it's hard for you there in the UK. You may be surprised at some of our pricing on the STORE tab at the top of the page, or you can contact us there for any parts you don't see. Sales there help support this private no-ad site.
