Hi Josh: Your rig is AWESOME! Thank you VERY much for sharing! Your generosity simplifies my process for replicating your accessories! Kind regards, David McNulty
Great bike. I just bought a v100s verde.. unfortunatly mine had a coolant leak and its getting service now. I also bought the same givi top case but i didnt know how it would look. Now i do :) alao do you know is there a color option for the comfort seat. My oem seat comes in dark brown. I would buy it if they make one with matcing color
When i put my side cases together I trimmed the latch ends of the locks allowing me to remove the key without actually locking the case. I don't always need to have them locked. I too did a license plate mod. Removed side reflectors and installed Arrow ti/carbon muffler.
The reason you must specify that you've installed a taller windscreen is to disable height adjustment at high speeds. The extra leverage of a tall screen puts excessive stress on the adjustment mechanism if you adjust at speeds over, I believe, 80 mph. So sayeth the manual. The front fender extender is a good idea to lessen the amount of crud that gets flung onto the radiator and engine, but I couldn't abide the poor fit of the one shown here. Hopefully other aftermarket solutions will be available soon. Cheers from a Verde V100S owner.
Is a top rack available for the Givi trunk. That's probably what the extra marks are for. Nice motorcycle thinking about getting one doing some research.
Now that MG has moved into the 21st Cemtury, and has cruise control technology....maybe they'll bring back the Norge. I loved the looks of that bike and would have had one but a touring bike with no cruise control was ludicrous. I LOVE this V100 but not enough wind protection for my long rides. There are add-on windscreen deflectors out there to get the wind moving higher. Also a little tid bit for riders. Laminar lip will custom make a lip if you send them your windscreen. Talk to Leo, nice guy.
I purchased Guzzi side cases. However the black plastic on the rear is scuffed. It comes that way from the factory, I compared with another. Do you see that on your cases? I will get the givi top case, looks great.
From what I remember, I think the plug is under the tank near the seat areawhich is why it takes a while for the dealer to do as they need to take the bike apart to plug it in.
I love the comfort seat. Most comfortable seat I've ever owned or sat on. I don't think I really need the heated portion but they only make it heated so no other choice.
@@rodericde876 no. I'm not racing on a track for prize money so I care more about the bike being protected, more useable, and more comfortable than a few pounds here and there.
I have only put it on. Haven't taken it off yet. Went on easy enough after a firm press down once lined up. I assume it would be just as easy to remove.

The top box look like an OEM fitment and is better than most Guzzi ones I've seen.

I did the same with my locks on the sidecases.
With this set up, you can do some serious long distance touring or grocery shopping!! ... =)

Supposedly Pyramid makes a better looking front fender but I haven't tried it yet.
Tall windscreen setting disables adjustment above 67mph
Great info. Thanks. Do you use inner bags for your side cases and if so which ones?
No. I just used the stretch clips that are inside. I preferred the v85tt side aluminum cases and the inner liners.

@@_JimS I have a v100 and got the largest screen and then a clip on added. It's finally working pretty well. For slower I have a a tiny windshield
@@StockySnail Glad it's working out for you. Be safe!

No scuffing on mine.
Do you mind posting a photo. I want to see and then show the dealer.

@@StockySnail thank you
Any chance you know where the quickshift connector is on the bike?
From what I remember, I think the plug is under the tank near the seat areawhich is why it takes a while for the dealer to do as they need to take the bike apart to plug it in.
It’s a shame that the bike doesn’t come standard with a lot of these goodies.
What about the optional seat? How do you like it?
I love the comfort seat. Most comfortable seat I've ever owned or sat on. I don't think I really need the heated portion but they only make it heated so no other choice.
Where we can get the bolt covers ?
AF1racing is where I got them. They are the Mistral footped and frame caps.
Have you weighed all that s….tuff?
@@rodericde876 no. I'm not racing on a track for prize money so I care more about the bike being protected, more useable, and more comfortable than a few pounds here and there.
how easy is it to take off the top box?
I have only put it on. Haven't taken it off yet. Went on easy enough after a firm press down once lined up. I assume it would be just as easy to remove.
