    my 2013 V7 Special experience

    1000 Mile Report June 10, 2014 Today I went on an afternoon ride. Hwy 101 to Vineyard, across Hwy 46 still on Vineyard to Willow Creek Road. Willow Creek is narrow but reasonably paved, a good curvy ride to Peachy Canyon Road which is a bit better and went into Paso Robles. Vine St. to Hwy...

    my 2013 V7 Special experience

    May 29, 2014 Received and installed my AF1 Euro Side Stand # B063086. Put the Guzzi on its center stand. Loosened left side exhaust ring, cross over pipe clamp and took the rear exhaust bracket bolt/nuts off to allow access to the side stand mounting bolt. AF1 points out that the stock...

    my 2013 V7 Special experience

    I add here that the use of the stock side stand is a personal choice made after I was discouraged by the price of the shorter "Euro" side stand. While I am comfortable with my choice, everyone should be aware that the "Euro" side stand is the recommended side stand for this kit. Here are...

    my 2013 V7 Special experience

    761 miles May 13, 2014 - Installed AF1's OEM Moto Guzzi Center Stand Kit - #983164. I had read that the center stand could be installed while the bike was on its side stand but decided to fully support the motorcycle so it was vertical, allowing easy access from both sides. Laid out all the kit...

    Spark plug covers '13 V7

    I am wondering if the stock '13 valve covers could be modified? The stock covers have a "mushroom" skirt of extra metal. Sand blast the cover to reveal the aluminum, remove the excess metal back to the gasket shape all round and reveal the spark plug wires in their stock position by taking...

    my 2013 V7 Special experience

    588 miles April 16, 2014 Filled tank with Shell 91 octane V-Power, 3.8 gallons/208 miles = 55 miles per gallon. On fill up 1.7 gallons, a long 75 miles, still in reserve. After a lot of reading on Guzzitech forum and finding locally available products, decided on Amsoil 75W140 GL-5 Synthetic...

    my 2013 V7 Special experience

    @ 391 miles and counting. Hello Zinfan - I would be delighted to talk to a near by V7 rider! Very interested in your modifications. I have a center stand on order but I will probably wait until break in is over and I have lived with the V7 long enough to know what the best changes are for...

    my 2013 V7 Special experience

    Hi Todd, you know our area. 229, also known as Webster Road to Creston was my first choice for a ride that would bring out the best or the worst in my new V7 Special .... I was not disappointed. 229 is a fun ride because it's basically all curves and swoops, no real straightaways at all, also...

    my 2013 V7 Special experience

    @ 210 miles - 2013 Black and Yellow V7 Special, new March 6, 2014. It looks great, it handles very much to my liking/riding style, I find the suspension competent and love the way the V7 transitions left and right on curvy roads. Well balanced is another way I would describe the V7. It...
