Sorry guzziart, never picked up on your question.  Looks like a whopping 4.5", but oh my back appreciates it. Not sure who makes them but they are very comfortable on occasional 350-450 mile rides. (I'm about 5'-7" 5'-8" on a good day as well ).

Tom,

How much rise did you get from your bar risers?  I have DAS Mototec risers on mine.  If I could get a little more rise it would definitely be more comfortable for me.  Replacing the OE hoses & cables wouldn't be a problem.

Also, the bike had lowered pegs on it when I got it.  I swapped back to the OE pegs because I'm barely 5'8" anymore and while I'm far from being a hot rodder, it was very easy to grind the aftermarket pegs on pavement.

Very nice.  I have 2, a low mile mostly all stock '02 w/ is not so comfortable, and  then my '03 more heavily modified with GutsiBits foot controls and bar risers w/  req'd new control cables/brake lines.  That and the bar end ThrottleMeisters make all the difference in comfort.  Gonna have to go research those  HB bags/mounts

Very nice, like this setup.  Always thought I could tour my '03 but have never sought out the side bags.  IMHO it's just as comfortable cruising as my '16 Norge, and has "Throttle Meister's" bar ends/ throttle assist to help with right hand fatigue.  Are those bags/racks off an Aprilia?

The first thing I think of here is "crash bars" for the cylinders?  ... still liking that side exhaust look though.  (But it will never replace my love of the V11!)

me too, on my '02 LM.  03 good so far

looks like you might have had "grabby clutch" syndrome here (or it wouldn't disengage).  Been there myself on my '73 Eldo.

What fork tubes are in use here?

Bigger than that magnificent Eldorado! 

Here's the trophy!

Proud to have won "Best in Show" at 2021 National MG Rally held in Swanzey, NH with my 1973 MG 850 Eldorado. This was my first street motorbike, bought it in July 1978, restored in 2020. Thus began my love of all things Moto Guzzi.
