Hi there,
It's my first time so please, don't be too hard on me :)
I'm french but live in Canada for 10 years. I usually drive dual motorcycle but I decided to take a break and buy something more appealing last year (my old BMW F800 GS would certainly try to kill me for what I just said !). I like the bike but not very fan of the riding position which is too aggressive for me. I would like to know if it could be possible to switch my handlebar for a V7 Stone style.
From what I've seen so far, it looks definitely doable but I would need some feedback. I do not want to screw up :)

Thx for your help guys
 
Welcome to the GT Forum and Famiglia. Yes the handle bar conversion can be done. I have it in place on my RentAGuzzi.com V7R. You just need the bar clamps and bars. I would be happy to get them to you at a discounted price. You'll also need the V7 Stone clutch cable. Everything else fits and works. Contact me direct if you want to order; Info at GuzziTech.com
 
Like I said, I'm curious to see how it will fit a cafe racer style. I saw your picture but it was not easy to see the overall look. If you have time to spare, feel free to do some :)
Meanwhile, check your email
 
It would look just like a stone bar configuration. Just look at a picture of a stone or go look at one on a showroom floor.

I am looking at one of the new series iii V7 racers
Is it easy enough to fit handle bars and forward controls in lieu of clip ons and rear sets ?

Yes, buy the Stone parts, (or find someone who wants to trade perhaps) and bolt on. You'd also need the front & rear brake lines and clutch cable.

I'm necroposting, but this is just the thread I was looking for.

Could you please advise if I need the parts in for the change from clip-ons to Stone handlebar in Racer V7III?
Maybe you can sell them to me?

We don't have local Guzzi dealer in Eastern Europe, so I'll have to order from EU or from USA (better, because no VAT), so it would be nice to place an order just for parts that would be needed. If I miss something, I'll have to wait another few weeks for the next delivery.

You only need the clutch cable, and I can add it to the online Store for purchase, yes. I keep some in stock. Do you already have the bars and risers(?); https://gtmotocycles.com/products/oem-v7-bar-riser-kit

I didn’t buy anything for the conversion yet. That’s why I’m asking. To place one order for anything I’d need.

I can’t navigate in heavy traffic with clipons, and back hurts after an hour of riding. I hope that the bike would be more maneuverable with the bar.

Yes, please, add anything I’d need. I’ll order tomorrow :)

Do you happen to also have a v7 iii racer clutch cable in stock? I am currently in need of a replacement.

Yes, it looks like I should.
Please send a direct email to; Info @ GuzziTech.com -- I cannot reply on this here.
 
@air0ne @ArtemD Did you do the conversion? What was it like as a novice taking off the triple plate for a novice? Is the riding position now more for all day riding compared to the riser clip ons?
