I've just ordered a set as well. Thanks for sharing the advice team

Just got back the covers after a vinyl wrap, they turned out great. NOTE: be careful on removing. The "locking" tabs are terribly designed for robustness and either I partially snapped one or it happened at the factory. I went ahead and applied epoxy to all four tabs for any future needs.
They look really nice.
I'd hoped to wrap mine but nothing came close to matching the Navale grey, two shades of grey looked worse than the silver....

....@indyrider, Do you have a full side picture of the bike with the color on the covers?
I like what I see in your photo above. I've got to believe it makes the overall package look much better.

Looks real nice, @indyrider ! I’m with @TennesseeSmith - a full view side shot would be great to see. The red matches well from the pic

! (“NOTE” noted)@BDS @TennesseeSmith I will grab a picture tonight and see if I can get it posted.
Full side picture, as requested.
NOTE: wrap is Avery Carmine Red Gloss, really close base color match, just no metallic fleck.

I like that. I may do that to mine as well. Thank you!

After a big fail on wrapping with 'Navale' grey I went a different route...at least for now. The F35-B may have been the inspiration for the Navale graphics, and the Italian Navy has 90 of them on order. However, the promo pictures were taken alongside AV-8B Harrier jets that the Marina are still flying. So, there you have it ......an AV-8B in vertical take-off configuration. 
Nice. Did you make the graphics yourself?

Thanks.
The lettering was custom made and sourced from carstickers.com
I found the Italian AV-8B Harrier as a catalog item (amazingly) at KLO Graphics (Colorado Springs) and the roundels were one of several sizes available on Amazon.

Thanks for the response. I also have a Aviazione Navale something like this would look good on my side cases when I finally get them. Supposed to be another couple of weeks before they even get to Piaggio America. I got my bike on Oct 4th. Been quite the wait.

I placed an order for inner bags with GBG on 24 November 2023 and had them delivered today, 5 December, in Adelaide, South Australia. I'm still waiting for the panniers I ordered from my dealer back in May 2023greatbikersgear.com
Bought inner bags from here . Very happy
Dave … on the red one
. I'm very pleased with the design and construction of the liners, although I can't yet check them in the panniers. Thanks for the recommendation

I just bough my used V100 S with 900 miles on her. I pick her up Saturday.
I went to the Moto Guzzi website and it stated “Delivered within 15 days”.
I ordered all three cases, a rear rack, a centerstand, a heated seat, and a few other things.
I received everything in 1 week.

Sounds like "right place ... right time" Scott. I called the dealer today and they arrived in Australia 30 November and so maybe I'll get something soon
What? I bought my bike on the 4th of October. I ordered and paid for the side cases at the same time. I am still waiting for them. Piaggio Customer Care says the next shipment is due in mid-December. Another somewhat nearby dealership who I checked with said they could get bags for me that they would be available December 18th. I wish I knew when I bought the bike what I know now I wouldn't have ordered the bags. Another dealership has had three sets in stock. I don't know if I can post who. It has been frustrating as I use my bikes to do errands and most of my grocery shopping. Without the bags I am very limited as to what I can carry, attachment places for Bungie cords are virtually non-existent. So I have have had to use my V7lll most of the time while my new V100 sits and pouts. Life is rough. Lol.

I really don’t understand these long lead times that some people are experiencing.
As living in Europe I can go to MG online store (which seems to be a German partner in some way).
Besides from the spring when V100 was still expected to come with quite some wait for the customer before delivery, accessories and parts seems to have been in stock whenever I checked for any possible added stuff.
Panniers have certainly been available since the early summer.

I wouldn't bet against the parts/service guy dropping the ball. I haven't gotten my tags either which they were supposed to do. I hate doing business with them but they are all that is available within a reasonable distance. I can see them not doing warranty work if needed if I got it elsewhere.
