As requested, I added links to most of the parts used, AF1 Racing is my GO TO Shop when it comes to most MotoGuzzi parts, V7, V85 or V100 alike. They are fantastic to deal with, highly recommended. I am not Sponsored from AF1 Racing.
Thank you soo much for the links to the cool items you found! BTW, I finally picked up my bike on Saturday...
Nice bike ! I've never been a Guzzi fan but this one looks good.
AF1 is awesome. They make buying buying parts so easy.
Thanks! and I have only good things to say about AF1, they are amazing to deal with and always make it right when there is a hick-up.
I have put a Powerbronze large touring screen (550mm) on my V100 which with a EBay air splitter works incredibly well for touring.
Have you tried it without the air splitter? Just curious. The Stock screen did ok for me, my current shorty has to stay down ... =)
@@ThatGermanFella . It definitely needs the splitter at motorway speeds, too much buffering otherwise
Stunning
Thx for the post
Just Wow!
=) ... it is a Start ...
I like that the v100 US bikes now get the LED turn signals. It didn't make sense that the V85 didn't come with them.
yeah funny how that works ... lol
Love the black screen; really fits this bike. Looks like you need a bigger horn 😊
Right, that screen looks almost factory and fits the character of the bike well! Yes on that bigger horn, need to do some research, do you have any recommedation?
Schöne mods!
Danke! ... =)
Ahhh. Die Bar-End-Mirrors sehen sooo geil aus. Ich suche immer noch passende hier in Deutschland… und die kurze Scheibe sieht auch granate aus!
Danke! Man bei euch in Deutschland braucht man fuer alles einen TUV Eintrag, ich habe das gerade den anderen Tag gesehen, ist ja der Wahnsinn ... lol
@@ThatGermanFella Don‘t ask… aber ich warte ab. Die Mandello verkauft sich so gut, ich denke, da wird Zubehör dafür kommen. Zur Zeit suche ich verzweifelt andere Deckel für den Bremsflüssigkeitsbehälter und den von der Kupplung. Das ist ja ein Standard-Teil von Brembo, da müsste sich ja was aus Alu finden lassen. 😎
@@TomReinerDE Das wuerde ich auch denken, wie Du gesagt hast, ist ein Brembo Teil. Lass mich wissen falls Du etwas findest, wuerde mich auch interresieren! ... =)
I'm planning to put on the heated seat. Although the standard height is manageable, I can't quite flat foot, so will go for the low version. I'm sticking with the standard screen. A couple of hundred miles last week on the motorway there was no buffeting.
I am in the same "boat" can't quite flat foot it, will try different boots to see if it makes a difference before possible switching to the low seat, but I am concerned that it will increase the bend in the knee, possible compromising long distance comfort. In the down position the stock windscreen is fine for me as well, up, it actually pushed the air right onto my helmet, so proably need something a bit taller for touring.
@@ThatGermanFella That may be an issue. I did it with my Tracer, Z900RS and F900XR and they were fine, so I'll give it a punt. It's around 15mm, which was the same on those bikes.
@@markellott5620 If you do, let me know how it works out, I will proably follow your lead on that one ... =)
"Overtorqued bolts from the factory" This must be a Piaggio specialty. My dealer had to drill out 1 of the bolts on the pillion peg of my RS660 due to being overtorqued and having way too much red loctite essentially cementing the bolt in place. Had to completely resleeve the bolt hole so the block off plate could be mounted. Dealer said it was a one-off incident that they had never seen before. I wonder about that 😂
What are you using to plug the factory mirrors after removal? Curious as it looks the same on each of the bikes I've seen you add bar-end mirrors.
Another great video and again, the V100 looks amazing!
Thank you! I am using the ones from TST industries, a bit pricey but they worked very well for me. Here is a link tstindustries.com/tst-universal-mirror-block-off-plugs-8-12mm.html Concerning the bolts, I had the same issues on my V85, so it is a "Piaggio thing" ... lol
@@ThatGermanFella Thank you! Just ordered for the Streetfighter. Been looking for a solution for this as the factory mirror bolt is reverse threaded on the right side. (Ducati thing? Monster was same way) Have had a number of washers placed on the factory bolt to take up the slack removing the mirror leaves.
@@marc.gruber You will loce these, straight bolt on, no washers required, look factory!
Like the Hepco Becker grab rail for Trident 🔱 but the Trident 🔱 one is curved.
Yeah, still looking for a asthetically correct one for the Trident ... =) But since you turned me onto the Tail tidy, that is my next project for now ... lol
@@ThatGermanFella Yes it never ends😆😁😂🤣.
@@ThatGermanFella I love the look of the tail tidy on the Trident 🔱 & getting to see the Mechellin Road 5 tyre's too.
@@ruahinesrider yeah they look amazing, will switch mine to the road6's once they are done!
@@ThatGermanFella I was thinking the same when Road 5 done upgrading to the Road 6.
Hi, just orderd one, and some evotech protection. Where did you get your passenger peg slider from?
Grats on your new bike, you are going to love it! The Peg slider was a DYI project. I used leftover pugs from my Z125 build ...lol They are way overpriced for what they are but fit in nicely. If you go on the MNNTHBX website under the 125 section you can find them there. But it is not a direct bolt-on, some modifications on the V100 are required.
@@ThatGermanFella Hi, thanks for the info, does that modifcation involve drilling the slider, or do you have to drill a hole in the passenger foot rest?
Found a service manual also: cadrecycle.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/APRILIA_MSS_3627458_EN-v100-service-2.pdf
@@robertfrench6918 no drilling but I had to shave some off on the guzzi as the pug itself was a bit too big to fit into the space where the foot peg was in. Nice find on the service manual!
Hi there, how did you loosen the bar ends in order to install the bar end mirrors? Im also looking for universal ones, but there is a screw inside the OEM bar ends that I just cannot get out. How did you do it? Or is there a adapter to get to M18? Thanks!
You have to turn the whole unit, unless MG over tightening it. I used a plug and play solution from AF1Racing
@@ThatGermanFella thanks for the advice! a good old pair of pliers did the job.... you V100 looks amazing. I have the Verde and I love it. I'm also installing the pyramid seat cowl. that would also look nice on yours if you can paint it in the nice matte grey
@@Hers-B-zr8yd i looked at the cowl but was not really sure besides the paint issue. Glad you got the bar ends removed.
Can you include the sources of your parts in the Show More section.
Let me get it together ... =)
Was the skid plate easy to install? Maybe i'llof order one in the future...
What about engine protection, thinking of something?
The skid plate was a very easy affair, MG actually has everything in place for it under the engine, proably in preperation for the Stelvio. I don't like the current solutions for the engine protection, they all seem very clunky to me. I am a huge fan of Guareschi Moto in Parma, Italy. I had their solutions on the V7 and V85 and know they worked when I crashed my V85. So, I am sort of waiting to see if they maybe come out with something similar for the V100.
@@ThatGermanFella oh you mean their head guards , it look indeed a lot more clean , really like it and I didn’t know them ! Thanks for the tip !
@@jofr4 Yeah!, a much cleaner solution!
Hello, I purchased the comfort heated seat and was wondering how do I connect the harness to the bike? It did not come with instructions. Please help.
Sorry I just saw this, super easy, remove the stock seat and there is a wire with a red cover I believe, just remove the cap and it plugs right in, hope this helps!
Is there a kit to lower the pegs. I’m in my 70s and find it cramped for the knees. Thanks.
Yes there is, browse at wwe.af1racing.com
@@ThatGermanFella Thank you for the link but at the moment it is not accessable. May be the Trudeau liberal gov't censoring the site for whatever reason. Our Canadian gov't is now censering internet sites they permit Cdns to access. We are now like China.
Does it have an exhaust flapper valve?
I don't think so.
No complete exhaust system? Euro5. That is the answer.
I am afraid so, I saw people on facebook reporting the catback is breaking off the underbelly cat after about 7000 km's and also reporting that the bike runs fine without it. I may revisit my exhaust tip solution and just give it another whirl.
1. Grab bars - big fail...
2. Seat - OEM = good buy
3. Quick shifter = good buy
4. Radiator guard = good buy
5. Skid plate = big fail. Should be same colour as the beautiful engine.
6. Mirrors = big fail. There are better ones on the market
7. Blanking screws - big fail. Should be same colour as stem
8. USB - good buy. Agree this should be standard
9. Screen - big fail. Looks terrible
10. Fork protectors- fail. They will provide a very small amount of protection, but not worth bothering with. Front paddock bobbins would have been a better, more practical option.
Opinions from a man who knows.
Well like you said, your opinion, I like what I got and I am happy with it, all that matters … ; )
