V100 Mods thread

If that's an engine guard from SW-Motech, does it need to come off for oil changes?

Got a SW_ Motech guard on my V100 , whilst you can access the drain plug , you do have to remove the guard to change the filter. I believe the same also applies to guards from Hepco Becker & Dbk. I think the Pyramid Plastics offering doesnt have to be removed to change filter

I got the same engine guard in aluminum color, and the mechanic didn’t mention it when the bike was in for service earlier this spring.
And I fastened it securely with Loctite as described in the instructions.
So I guess it is not in the way for normal maintenance.

It looks very similar to the one I was considering, in silver, but there wasn't a clear picture of the underside on the maker's web site. It does seem to offer some of the best coverage compared to some others I've looked at.

Yes I agree about the coverage.
That’s why I bought it, plus in aluminum it is very discrete.

I love it.
I have decided to go back to this one instead of the Hepco. It preserves the "V" shaped silhouette instead of hanging a huge square under the engine.
I guess I had to try everything before I realized what I preferred.

What did you do to add those mirrors? New weights? etc?? Vibration??

I had the 7/8 “ converters from another bike laying around and I just used longer bolts. So it was super easy. I’m experiencing zero issues from vibration.
