2023 V7 850 Stone Special VIN ZGUKZUE05PM000025 Purchased March 7, 2023, registered for the road March 15, 2023
Upgraded the suspension with GTM components, nice, recommended. The usual GIVI rear rack and engine guards, DART screen, HVMP SS bar end weights, and some other bits.
Picture...
I like the bold new graphics of my 2023 V7 Stone Special 👍 and the bike runs great, so much better than the 2020 V85TT that I sold last year. The weather has been on and off, just 417 miles so far, one more ride and I'll change the oil and filter, then valve check by 900. The Arrow exhaust...
"You can snip and plug the line partially hidden (arrowed) line to resolve the intake leak."
My question: plug both ends of this line after snipping?
(I have plugged the line to the intake manifold, and I have eliminated the tip-over valve.)
Anyone using the Pyramid front mudguard?
"Designed specifically for the V85 TT to provide a caliper mounted mudguard for the front wheel without the need to remove your colour coded fork guards. A very subtle and effective way to protect your engine casings exhaust headers and lower bodywork."...
Hello, again. I'm looking at a 2008 Griso 1100 that's for sale -- I owned a 2007 Griso 1100 for a few years, and seller's remorse has finally motivated me to look for another.
The bike I'm considering has about 15K miles, looks clean in the pics, stock but for a Termi pipe.
I've been away...
I'll add a little about an extended warranty I bought for another bike, not my Guzzi. I bought a warranty from Zurich North America. The advantages are that they will pay ANY licensed vehicle repair facility to fix your bike -- not just the authorized dealers -- in US and Canada. Of course, I...
PS -- you get an added benefit using the aluminum tapered bars -- they transmit a *lot less* vibration than the steel bars do, IME. Then I filled the bars with lead shot, and fitted the ProGrip gel grips from mgcycle.
HTH
Hi -- I bought those exact same ROX risers, but the Griso bolt spacing is too wide for them. To get more height and pull back (sweep), I looked at the various threads here about different bars, and I went with the ProTaper Contour Raptor bar. With the stock bars, by elbows were locked straight...
Yeah, the brown splotches look sickening. A couple of times a year I go at the pipes with Mothers Mag & Aluminum Polish applied with 0000 (ultra-fine) steel wool and elbow grease, then wiped down with a soft cloth.
Thanks, Mark, I appreciate the encouragement. I could see making up the spacers, hours of enjoyment with hacksaw and files! I think the solution for me would be more along the line of set-backs or offsets rather than risers. I did try the Roz off-set block risers, but the Griso bolt spacing...
Ugly, for sure! :-)
I did see your risers, that looks like a great solution. Are you going into production, as others asked?
In the meantime, I'm looking at the dimensions on other bars, ProTaper, renthal, Fly racing, LSL, ...
