I wanted to fit a small pouch for docs/tools etc during short rides but wasn’t willing to pay for solutions that didn’t match the bike. I found this well-used Japanese leather shoulder bag. It fit the side panel and had the right patina to match the tank strap. The hardest part was punching holes through the full grain leather.
Very happy with the result!
Hi everyone,
I'm thinking about replacing the tires on my Moto Guzzi V7 and I'd like to hear some real-world experiences from other owners.
Since the V7 uses a shaft drive, I'm particularly interested in knowing whether tire changes (especially the rear) are more complicated than on chain-driven bikes, and if there are any tips or common pitfalls to be aware of.
I'd also appreciate your recommendations on:
Best tire brands/models for mixed riding (city, country roads, occasional touring)
Tire longevity
Handling improvements compared to the OEM tires
Whether you've stayed with the stock tire sizes or switched to a different size
What are you currently running, and would you buy the same tires again?
Thanks!
Hello there,
Today on starting my 2018 V7 III Rough I noticed the LCD was on the MGCT setting and on level 1. Which was weird since I never touch it and I'm sure it was on 2.
I tried to change it back but there's no way, it's stuck there.
It's not really a problem since I'm not often on problematic traction conditions (today and yesterday I kinda was in occasions, but it's not my usual) but the fact that a setting disappeared worries me a bit.
I tried to look it up but found nothing related to that issue. Do some of you have any idea what could cause that ? I won't be able to bring it to a mechanic until at least next Monday, so if I can check some basic stuff before that... Any help is welcome.
Thanks !
Good evening guys! I'm looking to buy a Mistral exhaust for my new V7 Sport. What would you recommend the Avion S or the Exclusive? If I had to decide based solely on YouTube videos, the Avion S has the best sound, hands down. But I'm curious to hear your opinions.
