    V100 Mods thread

    Nice. Risers do help IMO… did for me, anyway😁.

    First ride of the season...

    Ugh, well, I’m sorry to hear that, Todd. Yeah, probably best to let it lie. I wish you well moving forward👍😁.

    First ride of the season...

    Thanks Scott😁🙌… I’m usually riding KY, eastern OH or IN roads. But, if I ever head up your way, I’ll msg you, and maybe meet up for a ride/lunch. Imagine, …two Verdes😁. Oh, full disclosure, I did have the one problem on day one upon delivery - faulty rpm sensor. A $25 part, but getting it took...

    First ride of the season...

    @scottmastrocinque - No, I haven’t had the clutch seal done, but will inquire when I’m in the shop next. Almost 6k miles though, with no issues. I don’t know if that’s an “across the board” recall, or only applies to certain serial numbers? I’ve had good dealings with Cadre, as a customer, for...

    Two Silly Questions - Brand new Mandello

    I am a guitar player, and have played with many drummers, but haven’t heard a cowbell sound out of my V100S yet😂… But, it might be exhaust note related. Mine does pop on deceleration - but, in a good way😉. My TPM does take a few miles sometimes. Seems to take longer when I’ve been riding, and...

    Italia V100 Accessories

    Good update, I may go ahead and order the Isotta tall screen. I was emailing with the store about a GIVI, and was told on 4/8 there were 3 to “hit port” that Friday, and they would head from Charlotte to you. On the 14th I said if he opened online ordering I’d place an order. A couple queries...

    V100 - Southeastern Indiana Ride

    😂😂! Yes, @scottmastrocinque , it sure seems that way. In this pic, we range in age from 65 to (gulp) 80. There’s an 85 yr old too (not this day), who has a Guzzi California, but he’s phasing out … although he still plays senior baseball when his knees allow it. Seriously tho, the boys do a good...

    V100 - Southeastern Indiana Ride

    Thursday’s southeast Indiana ride was great (~200 miles). I prefer groups of 2-5, but we had a group of nine, local lunch buddies and several of the Cincinnati BMW Club riders again, hitting real back road (but, paved) routes. Little roads like Culbertson Rd, Nell Lee Rd… and I remember a...

    The importance of engine bars

    Ouch, @Ranishdogs ! Glad no serious injury to you. But, exactly why I went with these bars as well! I had a tip over, and was able to sandpaper the scuff, and hit with some black gloss spray paint… can’t tell it now. Won’t work for yours though😕… but, just tell folks you were doing your Marc...

    V100 - Southeastern Indiana Ride

    @indyrider - You should have a good day for it (Wed)… we’re heading out on Thursday - backroads Indiana again. Side note… my buddy with the BMW GS sold it, and just picked up a new V85TT Traveler. This will be his first outing to put it through the paces. So, now I’ll have a fellow Guzzisti...

    The tweaking has begun!

    I have the Guzzi touring screen, which is a little taller than the OEM screen, but several inches lower than the GIVI. I have to have it at max height WITH an xcreen extender to get reasonable wind blockage (for me). Problem is, as you noted, with the screen fully “up,” it’s pretty wiggly...

    First Guzzi

    Glad you brought it back from the edge! It looks great - and, I know it’ll run well, (and handle like a champ, belying its size!)… have a fun summer on it!

    V100S Pricing

    Good to hear T2. I currently have a MG touring screen with a x-creen clamped at the top. It seems to be just a little short. I’ve been waffling between CalSci and GIVI. Pros and cons exist for each… I agree, the CalSci “looks” best, and, I appreciate Steve’s knowledge and dedication. I worry a...

    Thoughts about the V100 after one year

    Good to see your post, Tennesee. I live riding in KY - did about 175 miles there last Monday😁. Let us know what you think of the new tires. I can’t wait to dump the stock Angels.

    V100 Mandello S

    Haha😂😂… I did the same thing! Traded my ‘15 Norge, and a pristine Ducati ST3S - the Mandello is a nice blend of the two👍😁! Wife was happy to get a net reduction of 1 in the garage😉.

    V100 Mandello S

    Sorry you got a double dose of trouble. I have an S, …just turned 5k miles this week, no problems with the Ohlins. In fact mine has opened up nicely, and was running great on a 175 mi ride down into Kentucky on Monday😁. Hopefully, you can nail down a diagnosis, and if nothing else, replace the...

    V100 for shorter rider? might be interested...

    Yup, try a Mandello… you’ll know what the right thing to do will be😉
