I am not into the bike many miles yet, but it is quite good. This is my 7th Moto Guzzi. I still have two older ones. We all had been waiting for a water-cooled motor and now we have one. The bike reminds me most of my Yamaha FZ1 first generation which was a fantastic bike that I rode for many miles. The great features of the bike are that finally they have a wet plate clutch, fantastic Brembo brakes, excellent suspension (I have the Mandello S with Ohlins), great looks, plenty of power (although I just have it in touring mode right now) and just an overall great bike. My question is: is anyone doing a seat cowl to replace the rear seat as I don't have a significant other riding with me? Corbin doesn't have a seat yet, are there any other manufacturers out there that have alternatives? Also, the stock exhaust sounds quite good but has anyone put an alternate exhaust on? That one opens up some can of worms for fueling and the bike has very good fueling right now. I have changed numerous bikes with exhausts/air filters, and some worked out and others needed a lot of work. I did buy a washable air filter for the bike when the original needs to be replaced. But, when you start changing things you know...Thanks for your advice.

Seat cowl would be a tough one, and Corbin MIGHT do one if they can get someone to ride one to them and leave it. There's other options. We can do one with custom foam and coverings here @ GTM in Orange, CA.
I have a Ago muffler in stock and available linked below, and they also offer a full header system HERE. I hope to work on the fueling over the next few months.

Well, actually Pyramid Plastics does a seat cowl for V100 in variety of colors. So no problem.....
Nice, I couldn't find them though.
