    V100 Diag Tool Info

    < shaking my head > You are right in dumping them, Todd👍. Sad.

    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...

    V100 Mods thread

    Dimensions are about 24.2” x 17” … considerably taller.

    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😉

    V100 saddlebags note and warning!

    I can attest John’s safety mod is cheap, quick and easy to incorporate 👍😁. The peace of mind is worth it😉.

    What a great family adventure! Good pics and memories👍😁. Makes me miss my ‘15 White Norge😕.

    Going SOLO

    Wonderful, wonderful adventure! I’m glad you didn’t pass that little car when that flatbed semi carrying hay was coming! And, I learned a new term … “water snot!” Hehehehe😂. Always great music choices🙌😁.

    Italia V100 Accessories

    Things currently on my radar… Bar end weights, fork sliders, I kinda like the venting slots on the belly guards😉.

    Head protectors vs crash bars - how effective?

    Well, posts #2 and #4 on page 1 (the previous page in this thread) have photos of the Aluminum bars. They “look” sleeker, more integrated. But, I wanted max protection. Hopefully, none of us will encounter a situation that requires it😉.

    rear lift stand

    Cooool!

    Head protectors vs crash bars - how effective?

    @Gutsy … Yes, I had the dealer install them when I picked up the bike. I like that any “impact” force is transferred to the frame, not the engine itself. And, although they don’t look as elegant, they are substantial (and, cheaper). I lightly sanded the scrape with 200 grit sandpaper, and...

    V100 saddlebags note and warning!

    Well, winter is almost done, figured I’d better get busy with the @John in PA side bag safety mod! Works like a charm…

    V100 Mods thread

    @Kevin.NZ - Did you remove your horn, or is it behind the shield? @South Westerly - I seem to recall another post here on the forum with a shield template that someone provided, based on one the poster made. @scottmastrocinque - I had the same concern when I purchased a radiator guard...

    Cafe Racer V100 by Jake Apiata

    What? No aero wings!? Hehe😁 I certainly appreciate the lineage nod, and time and effort put into this. And, I like certain aspects of the build. A no -switchback shorty exhaust would be interesting. Replacing the three “vents” with three circles is novel too. But, personally, I feel the long...

    Moto Guzzi V100 OEM Tinted Windscreen

    I think the OEM dark screens were Non-US. As you noted, easy enough to get an after market option😁.

    Not what you want to see when you head out to the garage to get some tools...

    Has it had an oil change? Obvious question… new crush washer - and, drain plug snug? Just went out and checked mine - dry. Yeah, let us know - good luck!
