    V100 saddlebags note and warning!

    Wrap the tape around the front of the outer tab on the sidecase that engages the bracket with the square hole in it (hole visible once the rubber block is removed...) Also, if you look at the photo of the hole in the bag tab, you'll see clearly what part of the tab needs to be covered. Make...

    So apparently Moto Guzzi sucks with getting parts to dealers

    I will say that, though I fully recognize that many manufacturers are having supply issues, motorsports and otherwise, it has been a mantra of Guzzi dealers for 25 years or better that "I Love the bikes, I HATE the company." There are legitimate reasons why that has been a cliche. And I'm a guy...

    Questions about the V100

    Mine shows miles to empty in the upper right hand corner of the display. When you hit reserve, then the trip odometer pops up and shows how many miles you've driven since reserve started, counting up from zero.

    Fitting Moto Guzzi Accessory LED Fog/Auxillary Lights - 2S002059

    PIAA driving lights installation I figured this might be a good place to put a link to my very viable solution. I installed PIAA LED driving lights , complete with harness, relay, lighted switch for dash, and a couple hours of my time for half of the dost of the OEM setup. I'm happy. Note...

    Factory recalls or Software updates?

    I just had first service done, and can confirm that other than checking fastener tightness all around, the most significant thing they did was multiple firmware updates. Did my own oil change after I got home as the dealer had no oil filters from Guzzi yet (!) OH, and valves do NOT get...

    V100 saddlebags note and warning!

    I finally got around to addressing the desire for a redundant safety lock for the side cases on the V100. Two 3/16" marine-stainless steel safety coupler pins here (cost around $11), masking tape, a Sharpie, a sharp 3/16" drill, and 20 minutes time, and there's a fail-safe method for securing...

    rear lift stand

    What model BMW stand should I look for? And is it an OEM product, or aftermarket?

    Clank when shifting into 3rd or 4th gear

    Regarding magnetic detritus, those of us who are long-standing guzzisti are used to examining oil that has exclusively bathed the internals of the engine. But the oil in this machine is also swirling through the transmission, with substantially more surface area of a brand new multitude of...

    Fitting PIAA Driving Lights to the V100

    Thanks, good observation. I'm leaving them alone till I have a chance to fine-tune the aim point of the lights after dark. Then, it would make a neater cleaner look for certain. I might even have a couple trim caps laying around the shop! 13mm trim caps ;)

    V100 Front and Rear wheel nut info

    All things considered, id prefer 3/4”. drive provided the web of the socket is strong enough to handle that beastly torque!! 🤔😁

    windscreen

    If I were shopping I would first check the offerings from Cal-Sci (California Scientific) Also options are available from Biondi and PowerBronze. The Guzzi screen (which I have) is very well made, but is overpriced and is barely larger than the stocker, IMO.

    Garmin zumo xt mount

    I believe the referenced Evotech mount is for a previous version of the Garmin GPS, not the current offering. The instructions are showing a Garmin mount for the Zumo 395/396 or the Zumo 550, I believe. The XT is the magnetic mount with latch, and I'm not certain the Garmin holes match the...

    V100 mandello windscreens

    I just swapped out the OEM touring screen, only nominally larger than the stock screen, for the Biondi Maxi Touring screen. Definitely taller and wider at the top. Offers more wind control. Fit is good (it is thinner than the OEM spacers allow for, but does NOT rattle at all. California...

    V100 Mods thread

    I just mounted a pair of PIAA 85114 Slim Line 112Db 400Hz and 500Hz Twin Tone Sports Horn Each horn draws 2.7A, so total is well within the 10A fuse on that circuit. Just had to fab a 1:2 pigtail harness with 14G wire and some insulated spade lugs, easy-peasy. Now the bike sounds just like a...

    V100 saddlebags note and warning!

    I do think the technique used on the Norge bags with a small hinged safety clip ahead of the bags was a simple and great failsafe for potential bag latch failure. I believe the best place to fabricate a similar arrangement is to possibly drill the rubber-covered frame tab that engages a slot on...

    V100 Mods thread

    I installed a "hugger" for the front tire to reduce the crap that's likely to be thrown on the radiator. Also a set of handguards. Both manufactured by Powerbronze. Both easy installs and seem to be well-designed and suitable to fulfill their intended purpose. Installation was easy for both...
