Simply horrid! You could drape a scantily clad supermodel over that thing it would still not attract the eye.

Nice pics, the Griso is THE naked bike!

You're right about the Tenni attracting attention. I put mine in our club display at a big bike show here. It sure drew people in, most had never seen one, and many thought it was a custom paint job. It was a great way to get folk talking Guzzi and promoting our club. I hope I never have to part with this bike.

I finally got to see a Stelvio on the weekend. The distributors had one on their display at a bike show. No ride but I climbed aboard and liked the seating position, reminded me of my old R1150GS. I'll be interested to get a test ride and look forward to reading your thoughts on the bike.

I cannot imagine these items simply worked loose over time. Did you by any chance have the bike serviced prior to the storage period? If so, perhaps that is the source of the gremlins.

Welcome to the Tenni group Dave. Sounds like you really wanted one if you were looking for two years. Great to hear it has all come together for you.

Well done David, great to hear you are loving it already. As the guys have said, it just keeps getting better. I for one am looking forwards to the pictures.

I've been thinking of doing this, any chance of some pictures/part numbers of the various options?

Whoops, I guess this is the result of my having too many browser tabs opened after having opened too many beers Edited the post and fixed the link.

Gotta give the mouse wheel a workout and scroll about two thirds the way down the page. In the "Maintenance" section under the sub heading "-Spine-" or just CLICK HERE

Heaps of stuff including parts lists HERE

According to the parts list (available for download HERE) they are Part No. 01 51 77 00 You'll find it shows the badge on the footpeg brackets on page D7, the part numbers are on the next page. I cannot find it shown for the triple clamp but they are the same size so should be the same part number. Don't know where you'd find them in stock, but someone somewhere will have them. At least they will be cheap to have posted to you being so small.

OMG could it be that I'm actually starting to feel my age? At least I'm still not acting my age No, I did not buy the risers here. As far as I know nobody in Australia stock them. Got them direct from MPH in the states.

I too have the MPH risers and replacement hydraulic lines on my Le Mans. I know you said you don't want to replace the original lines but these are a really good piece of kit. I cannot believe the difference it has made to my comfort on the bike (I'm 6'3"). The new lines look just like the stock stuff and most people don't even notice the risers unless I point them out. It all looks like factory fitment which I really like. I ran the tape over mine and here are some measurements, I hope they help. The risers bring the bars up approx 2 1/4 inches. Brings them back around 1 1/8 inches. As Dan mentioned the bars also get spread wider, I agree with his comments that this is a a good thing. The measurement from bar end to bar end is now 30 inches (stock bar ends). The risers are installed angled towards the rear, they are designed this way. There is no problem with clearing the fairing if they are installed this way. If you want I can take some detail pictures and post here, just let me know.

Great looking bikes for sure, they have now started arriving here in black, very tasty indeed
