Are there any bar backs available for the MGX-21?

I don't mean to sound dumb, but I'm not sure what bar backs are?  Are you talking about rear set risers? 

My guess is that is what you are speaking of, and I don't know for sure, but I suspect there are such rear sets on the market that will work, but are not necessarily marketed as MGX 21 bar backs.

bar backs is another term for handlebar risers.  here, the query was directed to a Moto Guzzi MGX-21 motorcycle

I think the MGX uses the same handlebar setup as the Audace. Simple answer, no. What year MGX? 2017 and later bars have a little more rearward position because those curve a little more to the rear and are more comfortable. Another way would be to heat them, bend them to desired position and repaint or powder coat.



Best picture I have, no longer have the bike or I could take more detailed pictures. Kinda shows the setup of the bars. They bolt to the triple clamp with bolts from underneath. A very unique way of doing things. I don't know if the California or Eldorado uses the same setup or not but I doubt it. I know of one guy who bent his and another guy who put spacers under his to get the bars up higher. I could be all wet but I believe the MGX is an Audace with  21" front wheel, bags and  fairing added.

Kind of like a busboy, they keep the beer chests, kegs  and liquor shelves full.

The MGX bars don't look like the Audace.
