That is a very very nice bike. Takes a lot for me to comment on a reworked Griso, but this has it.

I think it looks great 
Those clip ons look pretty low..reminds me of the Ducati retro sports bikes they made a few years ago. They looked great but I wouldnt want to ride them more than an hour.

Unless you cut the steering head and re-weld it back on at a more reasonable angle (24 or so degrees) along with changing the offset to maintain trail at around 100mm then it is just a cosmetic dress up on a bike that does not need cosmetic help. It needs less weight and more rake.

... and less rake.
There, fixed it for ya!
My understanding tho' is that the Griso isn't all raked out like the H-D V-Rod, it just has a long wheelbase that slows things down. I could be wrong tho', I haven't paid all that much attention to the Griso other than looking at it. For those who've never seen one up close, they look MUCH better in 3d than in pics: I positively loathed the looks of the concept bike that got so much press until Guzzi finally displayed one at the CWIMS show in Long Beach about 5 years ago now; then I became a convert. [Unlike the V-Rod, which looks just stupid in photos AND in the flesh, & feels even dumber when you take one for a test ride. H-D realllly needs to do a rethink on that one!]
