Local store had bags, touring windscreens and engine guards, in stock. The windscreen is perfect. It’s low setting is at the high setting of the stock one. It’s good for keeping bugs out of the two slots up front when down. The engine guards seem fine. The bags lock in tight. The seat seems stuck. Push it down harder and try the key again. Once seat pops gently pull up front.

That’s a beaut!! What is your local shop, and what kind of screen did you go with? I zoomed in to see the guards, and I swear the forks look bowed forward at the bottom! I know it has to be some sort of photo aberration, but it surprised me, hehe😂🧐. Bike looks great - thx for sharing - enjoy!!

And the front wheel has a massive flat spot in it! Ha.
I recognize the top of Palomar/Mother's Kitchen and the Post Office beyond. Haven't been up there in forever, but good to see it still looks the same.
 
MG case guards and radiator shield. Easy install, make sure you remove the allen head inserts from the lower front mount before you fit the guards, they are in tight. As usual it takes three different tools for three fasteners in Guzzi land.

Nice! Lots of nice… and, functional, goodies! Is that an Evotech radiator guard? - that’s the one I’m interested in😁. I have a list going, but no bike yet!
 
It is, it fits fine but is overpriced like all of them. Only a single attachment, the bottom fold pushes over the rubber pads on the bottom of the radiator but it appears to be pretty secure. I just used black mesh and push fasteners on my California for the oil cooler but this does look a little more refined.
 
Evotech is pricier, certainly well made, but Mistral is airflow tested to not impede cooling at all. I guess it depends on what size rocks you want protection from, which is a legitimate question. Esthetically and mechanically (re: mounting), I like the Mistral. Evotech certainly makes a fine product.
 
Cooling is a concern I put the Evotech on my Caponord and noticed a rise in riding temperatures on the gauge. This was in city driving in Mississippi in the summer. It was definitely hotter than without the guard in those conditions.
 
I installed and Evotech and noticed no difference in engine temp driving even in stop and go traffic at 90f here in SoCal last week.
