Wouldn't say anything but It's happened once on each side. Takes three tools and five fasteners to correct if the plastic catch is not damaged.
Horn is awful as well.

Another Nit

Four tools the allen heads are two different sizes.
I haven’t “inspected” the turn signal stalks up close. Are they supposed to be flexible (ie, bendable). Seems a good candidate for an aftermarket option (although for price tag, they ought to be more sturdy, if it’s happening a lot
).
).
They are the same design I had on my Aprilia Caponord but much more exposed. They are a little flexible but not enough with me blundering into them left and right. They are not breaking just popping out at the plastic tab holder but that can't go on indefinitely.
I can’t tell if they mount to a separate piece of plastic to get them further apart...
You could explore if there is the same mounting arrangement underneath so they are closer together..

What’s a nit? Is that like a niggle?
A nit literally is a baby head louse. Nit picking is a saying referring to pointing out small problems or imperfections where overall everything is good.

Cool, I’m familiar with “nit picking “ never understood the meaning even though I used it.
Monkeys do it all the time 
So let me see if I get this correctly..
You bang into or hit something against your turn signal, with suffucient force to knock it out of its little catch, and this is a defect by Moto Guzzi how?
Oh, and the horn issue, there are very stringent laws in Europe about what a horn may and may not do. You cannot legally have a 130 decibles horn in Europe. There are tons of regulations. For example, horns that make a tune are illegal in the entire EU. Simple solution, swap out to a louder horn that you like. No big deal. They weren’t being cheap or trying to cut corners. They are trying to comply with the myriad of laws.
Again, I am not seeing your complaint like many others. What I see is operator error, then with frustration and anger directed at Moto Guzzi for something they didn’t do. I guess I just don’t get it around here lately…
