    V9 Suspension Thread

    I ordered the Matris fork cartridges and Matris standard (non-piggy back) shocks from Todd and had them installed. It's night and day. Still a firm ride, I don't think the V9 is supposed to be plush, but the occasionally harshness of the stock set is gone. More importantly, much more planted...

    V9 Opinions

    It's pretty obvious the V9 isn't selling well, at least not in the States. One can speculate why but certainly the fact that it's such an odd, neither-fish-nor-foul (standard nor cruiser) creature must have something to do with it. Moving pegs back and raising the seat seem to be an effort to...

    V9 Opinions

    I like how the H&B Orbit bags on C-Bow mounts work visually with the Bobber. I also like how the solo comfort seat exposes the fender. "comfort" is a relative term, it's more comfortable than stock, but not by a wide margin.

    V9 Opinions

    I dunno Lucydad, you're entitled to your own opinion but I get lots of comments and compliments from the general public while riding around. Beauty is in the eye, etc., but if it was an ugly bike that wouldn't explain all the gawkers. A guy just stopped me at the grocery to say "That's a...

    V9 Opinions

    I have the comfort seat on mine. Had to go out to the garage just now to check. The OEM comfort seat on my V9 is more elegant-looking, not very different than the stock seat in appearance (or in feel). The seat in that photo of the 2018 has a pronounced swoop that, to my eyes, is rather...

    V9 Opinions

    I haven't ridden either of the other bikes on your list, but I've always been a "road less taken" kind of guy, so for that reason alone I like Guzzi over Triumph or HD. The Triumph seems to be a modern bike in retro clothing, so to my mind it's quite a different thing. The Sportser is a closer...

    V9 Opinions

    Annoyances include: -- subpar suspension that is easily upset -- seat that defies comfort -- ergos force to you work around piston heads -- slight abrubtness to throttle -- feet easily get caught under the pipes when shuffling about -- driveline lash (a guzzi thing -- my Griso did it too) --...

    V9 Opinions

    I've ordered the Matris shocks and fork cartridges from Todd. I'll report on them when they're on. It looks like Todd is doing to the V9 what he is so experienced at. . . rounding off the rough edges of Guzzi's. Having put some more time on my V9, I certainly can't say that it's a great, or...

    V9 Opinions

    Mine is a 2017 and it does not have the revised pegs. Maybe mine is just older stock and the change is still coming sometime in 2017? I don't know why they would do it differently for the EU. As low as the Bobber's seat is, I think moving the pegs back would make me feel folded up too much...

    V9 Opinions

    I've got just 100 miles on my Bobber but so far really liking it. The engine is wonderful. Not a fast bike, but feels fast compared to the V7. The low end torque is really a pleasure. The bike handles very well. Turns easily, but the front tire of the Bobber gives it a planted...

    GT V9 Bobber Tail Tidy Kit

    My list: 1) OEM fly screen (looks great if nothing else) 2) OEM rear rack (ditto) 3) C-Bow mounts and bags (hopefully these are compatible with OEM rear rack so I don't have to choose between them) 4) Mistrals (only slightly exaggerating when I say this is the whole point of getting this bike)...

    GT V9 Bobber Tail Tidy Kit

    Still haven't bought mine yet, hopefully within the next couple months. This wouldn't be at the top of my list of mods, but I'd definitely get one in due time. A side view shot would be nice.

    V7 C-S Suspension Thread

    Thanks for the replies. My story is that I started on the V7, then had both the V7 and the Griso for awhile, then sold the V7 because the Griso was did much more for me both from a riding perspective and just pride of ownership. Then financial hard times hit and I sold the Griso. Now I really...

    V7 C-S Suspension Thread

    I've read this entire thread with great interest because I'm contemplating getting a V7 II. I had a V7C, which I upgraded to Ikon shocks, stock forks. That upgrade was necessary, in my view, just to make the bike tolerable. But I've always wondered whether the V7 could be transformed into a...

    Tough time finding TE Griso

    That'will be a great buy for someone. Price is fair considering the add ons and at 1800 miles, it's not even close to being broken in. Generally speaking, when someone sells a bike like this after 1800 miles, they probably weren't flogging it. oops, I mean 2000 miles, but same thing.

    Corbin seat for the Griso

    I'm thinking about one of these seats as well but my guess, just looking at it, was that the tradeoff would be greater comfort but somewhat restricted shifting of weight from side to side. The stock seat makes you feel like you're sitting on a whale for a reason, to help swing this heavy bike...

    stock Griso

    As someone else said, all modern bikes can benefit from a reflash. Manufacturers go to great lengths to make bikes compatible with emissions requirements, owners go to equally great lengths to undo what the manufacturer has done. But the stock Griso is not terribly cold-blooded, and fuels...
