New V9 Bobber on the way - couple accessory questions

I have ordered a new gray V9 Bobber and am trading in my '14 Stelvio. As I've gotten older (and weaker) the Stelvio is a handful (armload?) to wrestle around in the garage, etc. due to its high center of gravity. The V9 seems to fit my needs at this time. The V9 should arrive sometime next week.

That said, I am used to having a windscreen and some luggage capacity. My questions are about a Guzzi accessory flyscreen and the Hepco-Becker C-Bow bag racks.
1. Does anyone have a V9 flyscreen and does it make any difference re: buffeting or insect deflection?
2. Does anyone have an overall photo of a V9 with just the C-Bow racks? The close-ups on this site's store seem to show they are not very intrusive but I'd like to see an overall view.
Thanks
 
Hello there Alan
I installed the MG screen and H&B C Bow racks on my V9 Roamer
Needed the screen as was too much buffeting above 110km/hr. The screen made a big difference.
Havent got many photos but one I took late last year before I bought the screen but without bags attached.
I purchased the street bags from H&B. Only used once so far.
Hopefully a trip to the Phillip Island GP in a couple of months will happen so can try the setup out on a long journey.
At the moment use the V9 as my commuter bike to work a couple of days a week.

Cheers

1. Yes it sure does. If I had to do it again, I would opt for the taller Roamer screen.
2. I have several pics of them on my V9/7 on the GT Facebook & IG pages.

Thanks, Todd. I'm compiling the list for my order from you once I have the bike in hand.
 
The Bobber came in yesterday and they're setting it up today. Unfortunately, we're in the middle of monsoon season! There might be enough of a break in the rain tomorrow afternoon to go get it. Otherwise, probably Monday.

I went ahead and ordered a Guzzi fly screen and the H-B bags & C-Bow mounts from Todd, so I'm ready to start "making it mine."
 
Did you get it from Sloan's? Can you post some pics of the accessories when you pick it up? Mine is going there for first service in a few weeks and I am thinking about the screen....
