I think you could probably get away with just raising the tank, but removing it is pretty straight forward.
The only problem I had was that I pinched the vent line from the tank when I re-installed it.
Nice looking updates. If you want a good idea of what is possible with a V7ii check this out, .
I really enjoy my 1" over GTM 2WS rear shocks and the Mupo front kit.
@Scott Pisczek Thanks for the compliments!
The handguards that are currently on the Stornello are Zeta Adventure Armor that I picked up from Langston Cycles. The fit is really good, no fab needed, I had to adjust the bend of the hand guard just a bit to get it to line up with the interior...
On the Stornello, if you got REALLY aggressive and wanted to fabricate some parts, you could probably drop some weight by replacing the rear suspension/sub-frame. But just by swapping parts, there isn't much to be gained. Maybe some lighter spoked wheels. You could swap forks, but not sure...
@tris Admittedly, my Stornello is running 1" over rear shocks and a front fork with the MUPO kit offered by Todd, it is still a "short" motorcycle when compared to the Enduro/Dual Sports I ride with. (As you can seen in the pictures). I have only come across a couple of places I didn't take it...
Thanks everyone. It was a great time. The Stornello did really well, just had to pick your lines.
@GerryAZ I've not ridden a V85TT, but I suspect it would do pretty good.
For waterproof bags, I really love my Nelson-Rigg "Rigg Gear" bags. Durable, great warranty. As for racks, the H-B equipment Todd carries is top notch.
Hey Everyone,
Thought I'd share some of the photos from my recent 3 day adventure ride on the Stornello to raise money for Veterans and high school student scholarships.
This all takes place in Missouri and is an annual ride that I have been participating in for the last 4 years. It's a trail...
Just got a spare set of left and right lower frame rails along with a cross member. Now, I can build a good jig. No more climbing under the motorcycle for these guards.
Hey Everyone,
I've been searching and researching information on a tank bag solution for my Stornello. Since I use my Stornello as a daily rider and as an ADV motorcycle, I want to make sure my decision isn't a detriment to the paint.
There are a couple of solutions I am considering.
One...
I do have some pictures of the process. I am also getting ready to make a new version that takes into account those models with low exhausts. I have to modify the sides a bit to clear the O2 sensor. I also have a request for one that clears the sump extender. If all goes to plan, I'll have...
Thanks a ton for the compliments. The plate is made from 1/8" aluminum. I fabricated it by hand using the tools I had in my shop (drill press, jig saw, hand tools for metal working). The welding on the aluminum was by a local fabricator. I've since added a press brake to my shop for future...
