Wow Cam, that looks great, you would not happen to have video of how those pipes sound? my wife wants new pipes for her 13 stone this winter, but does not want to be piss off the world loud,
Also the luggage, that looks great as well, where did it and the attachment for them come from?
Looking good, and I can coat any of my exhaust offerings black for you too... and a set of custom blacked-out shocks would round out the look (and hugely improve the ride!).

Thanks. No video, but search You Tube for Agostini stainless pipes on a V7 and you should get several. I kept the DB killers in mine, and the sound is awesome - deep and throaty. Definitely louder with the DB killers removed. Gotta be half the weight of stockers.
Good question... for anyone who has one, the pan spacer is 1.25" tall, so as long as the gap around the pan would accommodate. I haven't seen one in person, but if I ever do, I'll post again.
Congrats and welcome to the GT Famiglia, and congrats on the V7 purchase. Love to get your info for the first post of this thread. Also, check in on the Southwest section here, and perhaps join us for a ride.
A couple of updated pics. I want to eventually get black Mistral slip-ons and put black header wrap on to complete Operation Blackout.
You might also checkout AF1 for their 'black' turn signal lenses. I put a set on the back of my bike to help the signals blend in with the panniers. An inexpensive way to move your project forward.
I picked up my 2013 Stone back in August and have put about 1,000 miles on so far. I love it.
Mods so far:
Brembo RCS15 Master Cylinder
Matching Brembo Clutch lever and perch from Harris
Sato Racing Rearsets
Baak Fender eliminator
LCL Bars
Joker Machine mirrors
I plan to get the 2:1 Exhaust at some point and upgrade the suspension.
I got my 2010 V7 cafe in 2012. Reason I bought it was I had a Harris half fairing and needed a bike. The V7 showed up and they just seemed right for each other. Had ridden the bike before and loved it, price was right too.
Rode it 2012 and releaved bike from unneccesary parts, grab rails, big indicators etc. I had the fairing fit and made many other monds 2013 and then ran of the road. Both me and the bike got out with roadrash, kept riding it throughout the season.
Then decided to go all in.
Mods.
From front to rear:
Custom paint job
Short front fender from V7 Racer
Harris half fairing
Brembo round PS 12 brake cylinder and leaver & clutch lever from older bike. Works just as good as the mordern PS 13 but looks good.
Dellorto choke leaver
Moto Guzzi pill box light&horn switch, works over an extra relay. Big plastic ugly controls in bin as they had rash.
Moto Guzzi tank badges from V50
Finned exhaust collars from V50
Side cover decals from V7 loop frame
Valve covers from V50, glass blasted
Rear sets from V7 Racer
Seat from Corsa Italiana
Belly pan from Breva
Rear shocks from Öhlins
Rear fender exchanged for original front fender
CVV taillight and plate holder from older Guzzi, blasted and painted
Rear tire down to 120 width but slightly higher profile
Magni silencers
Probably forgot one or two things....
Have had loads of fun on this bike. Love how it corners. Sound from Magnis is terriffic. Stuck with a charging problem at the moment, sucks but will be fixed.
Got me a V50 with four valve heads by accident as the next project (used as donor for some parts on this bike), heaven knows when that will be on the road.
Hello All, I'm new to the forum here and am the proud owner of a new Moto Guzzi V7 Stone! Inspired by the other postings on this forum, look forward to customizing it to "make it mine" : )

Congrats and welcome to the Forum and Famiglia. Love to get your VIN# and info for he first post of this thread when you have a moment. Post again often.
Updated the original post with some pictures snapped with my phone today.
Thanks, I'm glad you like it. I'm really happy, I put in a lot of work to find all the right look and parts to match that.
A lot of credit goes to Adam Nestor who lay down the paint job and did most of the assembly job after the crash. He is definately a world class bike builder/mechanic. I felt really safe turning over the bike to him. I've built 4 café racers before this and having his help on this saved me months of buildtime and made it possible to set the standards higher.
Magni pipes are from Magni in Italy. I can only recomend them. The roar of this bike goes from a base thump at 800 revs idle (know this is supposedly bad for bike but it changes the character to the better) and to a noice that big block Guzzis envy.
2014 V7 Stone with Agostini Pipes. Technically bought on 9/20/14, delivered on 9/22/14.
