Don't assume green is ground, on my Breva blue is ground. Use a meter to test and confirm. On the V100 I think Yellow is the tail light and yellow/green is the brake light

Please!
You should consult the wiring diagram in the DOWNLOADS section before messing with the wiring. It is a hybrid CANbus and there are points of measured resistance along certain pathways.
It IS NOT like a motorcycle from the 70’s and 80’s where you cannot cause much of an issue.
You can seriously screw up your electrical system and damage your wiring without realizing it.
FYI the DOWNLOADS section is available to contributing members only.
You can permanently UPGRADE your account and gain immediate access while supporting the site with a small donation.
I believe the minimum is $25 nowadays. Well worth the available resources to you.
Good luck!

Hanguards colour-matched and fitted, now the Australian summer is over.
... took a vice and some heat to separate the bar end weights (red Loktite?) - refitted with blue Loktite.

Love the color matching as well.
I was able to remove the handlebar end weights no problem, but I also replaced them with blue Loctite.

Another verde bagger! Looks great (to my eye).
Small thing: check the little black bumpers on the bag handles, they can pop out easy. Glued mine in after searching the garage floor.

How much taller than stock do you think this screen is? And where did you get it? (I'm also in the Bay Area)
I have the Biondi medium screen and wish I'd gone bigger. I'm used to more wind protection.

I used Knight Design. They also do have bits to lower the lever pegs.
Dimensions are about 24.2” x 17” … considerably taller.

I took delivery on March 23rd of last year and so far have16,350 miles on my Mandello V100S. General comments, relating to many other posted comments:
SEAT - Comfortable for 3 or 4 hours and then starts to get bothersome. I've contacted Corbin but they don't have anything available yet, if someone has found a good looking LD replacement, I'm all ears.
WINDSHIELD - I immediately went to the Touring Windshield and for me it's a marked, and satisfactory step up from the stock windshield.
HEATED GRIPS - No problems whatsoever
EXHAUST SYSTEM - One area where I had a warranty issue. After 10,500 miles the exhaust pipe broke immediately aft of the CAT. My dealer fixed it under warranty, within a few weeks and until then I was able to wire and wrap it so that I could still ride. I happened to be in Mandello del Lario last September and stopped at Agostini, the Moto Guzzi dealer in Mandello and they showed me a new exhaust system that they had built for the Mandello, but they hadn't tested it yet so didn't have performance or noise data on it. But it sure looked nice. If it fails again, I'll look into an aftermarket pipe.
TIRES - The Pirelli's that it came with tracked rain grooves terribly, I had them replaced at 2500 miles and went to Michelin Road 6's which is what I run on a couple of other bikes, and it cured the groove tracking issue and I rode over 12000 miles on them before the rear tire started to get close to the point where I wouldn't be comfortable leaving on a decent length ride.
Other than that I haven't had any that has been notable or bothered me.

CalSci windscreen review:
The largest size windscreen allows for a much increased amount of adjustment which allows me to find a very nice comfort spot. There’s no buffeting at all regardless of the speed because of the venting.
I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for improved wind protection!

No buffeting at all on my CalSci either (medium screen) - but still getting more noise, than I would have hoped for. Still fidgeting with the set-up. Having the high OEM seat option and ROX risers has put me in a much more upright position (needed for touring comfort following injuries in a moto accident 2 years ago).

I can totally relate because I was in a dump truck accident 10 years ago and I just started riding again, and I wanted a more upright riding position and I wanted the handlebars a little higher and closer to me so that I’m not riding with my arms completely stretched out.
I just had SW Mototech 20 mm risers installed and they’re an improvement. My excellent dealership (Moto Richmond) also ordered the 30 mm risers just in case I want to try them. That’s what I consider excellent customer service!

gtmotocycles.comHi Fluff, have you made any progress with a UK supplier of PPF for the Mandello? I've noticed a patch on the tank where my left knee rubs, almost exactly at the tip of your protectors at the rear edge of the head.Here you go, full side pic with the tank protectors fitted
The more I look at them the more I actually like them.

Good afternoon, I bought tank protection and a universal kit fro R&G Racing . Tank kit protects the sides and universal can be cut to protect any other areas .
