    Oil Filter Cap Same question as Florida Lime

    Yes, it's very easy to see the correct orientation, and the bolt pattern only allows it to go in the correct position. One poster mentioned replacing the bolts with studs and then using nuts to bring the plate into position so it doesn't stress the threads in the case.

    Worthless V100 tire thread

    I would have gone with the Road Smart IVs for my 1st (or 2nd) tire change, but not when I saw the prices. Almost as much as the Michelins. :( They used to be much cheaper, and often had a rebate deal going on as well.

    Griso REGISTRY & Picture Thread - ADD YOUR BIKE

    Decided the Griso needed some love today, as it seems the V100S has been hogging all my MG time. :) All the pictures are alongside US129 in NC, including the last one taken at the Overlook at Deal's Gap.

    Acceptance Advice

    The only time I pull off the panniers is when I change the rear tire. They both get a thorough cleaning at that point also.

    V100 Mods thread

    Love the color matching as well. I was able to remove the handlebar end weights no problem, but I also replaced them with blue Loctite.

    Ago V100 Header System

    Those headers are oversize, so combine that fact with the deletion of the cat, would mandate some ECU changes IMO.

    how to trailer a V100

    I did add an edit to my original post about using Baxley wheel chocks, and how then less tension is needed on the straps. The route to my dealer is through Deal's Gap ("318 corners in 11 miles"), and everything was very secure. Here's another shot of a different bike showing the Baxley a little...

    how to trailer a V100

    They do need to be positioned properly. I've used them on sport bikes that have bodywork making access to the lower triple clamp difficult since the early 80s with no failures.

    V100S Pricing

    Take a look on Cycle Trader and see what similar bikes are selling for in your approximate area. I see new 2023 S models listed from between $1500 to $500 off, with many dealers showing MSRP. The one you are looking at sounds like it was a demo, so of course, that might factor in the price as...

    how to trailer a V100

    I've only had my V100S loaded in the van the day I picked it up, but I did take a couple pictures. Soft ties at the rear, and a Canyon Dancer on the handlebars. ETA: I always use a Baxley wheel chock as well. This helps to stabilize the bike for easier loading and tying the bike down. It...

    V100 Mods thread

    I'm well aware that Guzzi doesn't make a brown Comfort seat, as I've emailed their customer service twice about that oversight. The first reply gave a glimmer of hope, the second did not. :( I'm tempted to get the Guzzi Tall Comfort seat, and have it recovered but there's really no one near...

    Worthless V100 tire thread

    It  is a borderline case, with no definitive weight callout. My weight of 210 pounds, and the fact that my wife is a frequent passenger led me to my choice. (The V100S is my wife's favorite for longer rides.) Hard to say at this point if my choice is the right one, but the ride yesterday says it...

    Late yesterday afternoon. Near the Fontana dam.

    Worthless V100 tire thread

    I took the V100S out for my regular short loop to scrub in the new Continental Road Attack 4 GTs. I LOVE new tires ! The bike feels so much more predictable and stable at the limit. Fresh scrapes on those limiting factors. :) Only takes a few miles around here to get them broken in.

    V100 Mods thread

    You said you have the Comfort heated seat, then say you have a custom heated seat ? Does this mean you had the Guzzi accessory seat recovered in brown?

    35 years there, but only for work. I've had a place here in Graham County WNC for almost 20 years.

    Southeast V100 Riding

    Every bike has its strong points and weaknesses. I think it balances the sport and touring aspect pretty well. Not as sporty as a few of my other bikes, but that's to be expected. My wife prefers it as a passenger even more than my BMW R1200RT, so that says something.

    Southeast V100 Riding

    Deal's Gap is 15 minutes from the house although I don't go on it as often as I could. The Cherohala Skyway is 20 minutes away and is less technical than the gap, with more sweepers than tight turns, but it has a few that frequently catch people off guard. The Blue Ridge Parkway and Foothills...

    Worthless V100 tire thread

    Replaced the Metzeler Roadtec 01 HWM tires at 7099 miles, so almost the same exact mileage as the OEM Pirelli Angel IIs at approximately 3500 miles. Off with the front. Continental Road Attack 4 GT on. The Metzeler rear wasn't as worn as the front, but at some of the wear bars. Replaced it...
