V7 Sketch Kit

[DeadEye]

2017 V7 III Stone (with 2019 Racing Stripes package)
Purchased from original owner in September 2023 with 1,203 miles.

Is that the standard Racer Rear cowl without the Number plate attached ?

No, it is an entirely different rear cowl without a "number plate" area. It is part of what MG called the "Sketchbike Kit" (stripes kit) and is shown in the 2019 Moto Guzzi accessories catalog if you can find a copy. I have a PDF of that catalog but it is almost 60 MB so I can't attach it here. Each kit has a part number (CM304102 for the silver kit) but I've yet been able to pull that part number up in any fiche system online. You can still find a few of the kits for sale on eBay through dealers.

I presume it was called a "sketch" kit because you could "sketch/create" your own bike, picking and choosing from some of the optional parts like exhaust, levers, and mirrors.

I have that catalog, and did see the three kits offered $$$$$

I don’t understand,
Do some think it will be exciting, romantic , and drop 10 - 20k ???
Do people buy these bikes as an accessories , dress them up , then decide ,
Um, I guess I don’t like motorcycling ??

I had a mini bike, rode my brothers bikes ( crashed into a fence ) then bought my own… CB360T bikini faring, Dunstall headers, repainted, dirt bikes… i love two wheels

Well, the kit didn’t benefit the original owner’s wallet when he sold it to me.

Did you buy the just the kit or the whole bike from him ?

I bought the bike as you see in the picture. I'm thinking of removing the kit pieces off the bike and selling them. I like the way the bike looks but I'm more of a behind the scenes guy and this bike attracts a lot of attention. Or maybe keep the kit pieces and put them on if I ever go on one of those dandy mustache rides or whatever they're called.

I like the minimalist seat cowl.

- I think they like to Call them Selves Distinguished Gentlemen


vs. Dandy's


The Bike will always attract some attention because it's different, No matter What it wears - there aren't that many Around


Did you also get the standard parts - what color ?

 

[DeadEye]

I like the minimalist seat cowl.

Its look sort of " Bigger" somehow - longer *Ears* maybe ??

Agreed. Looks like the sides reach down further and cover the fender a bit versus the cowl on say a Thruxton or something similar.

That’s funny

Unfortunately I did not get the standard parts so I would have to buy them. I already sourced a set of Stone side panels from eBay for $100.

PM me to discuss if anyone would like the kit for their V7. I'm not inclined to part it out at this time.

 

[Bill Meyer]

I'd be interested in the half fairing if you would part out the "kit".

 

[DeadEye]

Mine was a standard Stone - All Black.

What are you looking for ,
Black tank - trade
The Standard Moto Guzzi windscreen for the bikini ?
I also have a second standard seat ?

I’m in Ottawa 700km from Portsmouth - ( Nearest company office )
Where are you in New England ( that’s a LOT of coast line )
