    V100 Mods thread

    I took delivery on March 23rd of last year and so far have16,350 miles on my Mandello V100S. General comments, relating to many other posted comments: SEAT - Comfortable for 3 or 4 hours and then starts to get bothersome. I've contacted Corbin but they don't have anything available yet, if...

    Aftermarket Silencer Issue

    Well, sir, there we disagree... to a point. I did the exhaust wrap last night. It's mostly an aesthetic thing that I like, which many people don't. I have no illusions of it being overly effective (though not completely ineffective on single-walled headers). I just like the look of it. So, the...

    Hello, From Seattle

    ...great Indian company!), added bar end mirrors (can't stand the usual bug-antenna mirrors most standard bikes come with), and will be doing the titanium exhaust wrap tonight. The Dart screen is on the way, and that should do it for now. Anyway, looking forward to learning and picking your...

    First impressions from a new owner.

    Wow - thanks for the insights gained over many years / models. For a Guzzi newbie this is really helpful, thank you. The oil advice resonated with me - I rented a Harley Road Glide that caught fire as it had been overfilled with oil and the excess blew out from the crankcase breather onto the...

    First impressions from a new owner.

    My pleasure. Thank you for the compliments on the Eldorado. She is a true joy to ride. I only acquired her in the last 6 months. Now the weather has turned to crap so what little precious saddle time I can muster before the winter totally takes over, is a real crapshoot and I have so many...

    Stelvio Midpipe Rubber Hanger

    Searched the "Hall of Knowledge" and couldn't find anything pertaining to this: 2013 Stelvio NTX: Finally had one of the graphite exhaust gaskets blow out recently. So while I'm repairing that, I'm also replacing my OEM exhaust system with another OEM exhaust that I had "Jet-Hot" coated. I'm...

    Since I had a little slide in a gravel my warp drive intake has to wait a bit. Thanks for the name bud, it's sticking on :) I have to fix scratched valve cover and sparkplug cover first. Valve cover had only paint scratches, sparkplug cover had deeper scrapes but with some heavier sanding it was...

    New to a V7ii needing repaint

    OMG Why did the PO do that? Ugly as sin and boy do I hate exhaust wrap too... I love your color choice. I hope it works out for you! Good Luck.

    <snipped pix> That second photo with your son and wrench is PRICELESS. It will make him and his children smile decades from now. It sure made my wife, Kathi, and I do that just now. Your "deal" with your son is also evidence of your fine credentials as a father. As Scott said -- and...

    Ciao from Hokkien of China

    Thank you, Bill. You're right, I waited for Guzzi with my son for more than 4 months. During the waiting period, he often asked me, Dad, has your fast motorcycle arrived yet? I feel that he is looking forward to it more than I am. Today, I talked to him about the exhaust pipe, and we made a...

    Ciao from Hokkien of China

    😆 😆 😆 Thanks John. I see, exhaust wrap does more harm than good, I will get rid of it as soon as possible. Because I hope my son can learn how to safely peeing on the electric fence. I need to stop overprotecting him. 🍻

    ...outlet covers, guards on radiators and all, I survived. Teach your son that it is hot. If he gets burned, he won't do it again. The exhaust wrap won't make it cool enough to touch anyway. As the farm saying goes, some learn by reading, some learn by observing, and some learn by peeing on...

    Ciao from Hokkien of China

    Thank you John, The main use of the exhaust wrap for me is to avoid burning my 5 year old son. Every time I ride to the door of my house, he would run and jump in front of the motorcycle.:rofl: I guess this exhaust wrap may cause the exhaust pipes to rust, so I installed dehumidifiers in the...

    Welcome to the addiction. You will find a great deal of information here. I do recommend you get rid of that exhaust wrap. It serves no useful purpose and is detrimental to the pipes.

    Back to my exhaust... It was painted a while ago: And when I started wrapping I realized that I miscalculated the length when ordering fiberglass tape... I wasn't planning on wrapping cross member but as I don't have enough tape now then might as well wrap it. Either way exhaust wasn't gonna...

    V9 Registry & Picture thread -- ADD YOUR BIKE

    ...considered Ceramic Coating your exhausts? Then the heat will stay in the pipe and go out the end, and you can get rid of that terrible exhaust wrap. It's just so damn ugly...Detracts from an otherwise beautiful motorcycle. I used Jet Hot Coatings, and have used them on my best friends...

    V9 Registry & Picture thread -- ADD YOUR BIKE

    I Perfectly understand why you hate it. It rots the pipes, hard to clean and eventually they fall apart. My pipes on the bike were in new condition and to avoid all the tragedy....I bought another set which had scratches on them just so that I can wrap them. It's been 4 years now and they still...

    Used V7 stone value?

    And get rid of that exhaust wrap. It just ruins pipes.
