The mufflers on my V9 has slid off and on with ease every time. Now, if you all buy V9s, problem solved

I think this thread makes a great case for why there are so many different motorcycles being made - taste and desire cannot really be debated.

You're trying to hard.

I'm not trying anything. I'm just explaining.
I'm not sure what you're problem is but I'm sure it's stemming from a misunderstanding on your part

Interesting, again.  This is fun for me, "unwrapping" this info, and I appreciate your patient answers. 
Attached (I think) is a poor lighting pic from the front.  Making sense now.

picking away at things…slowly.
Ignition reinstalled.
Have a battery coming, and was thinking I’d order a mosfet VR, or use an extra one i have, but then remembered I have this alternator mod.  Do I bother with a mosfet, and if so I assume it’ll be a different version than what i’ve used on other bikes that don’t have the alternator…. 
Advice/thoughts?

I guess it depends on the dealer but I have bought two bikes (Guzzis) and a truck out of state. All transactions were pretty painless and actually less hassle than dealing locally. I am in the northeast though.

Are you interested in used, private seller, or only in new from a dealer?  Dealers typically are set up for out of state buyers.  I'm sorry, but I am not familiar with NW dealers very well.  There are some outstanding folks in the midwest, though. 

Guzzi's are rare enough that if you buy from a known person (who has a Guzzi-internet history), you are very likely going to get exactly what is offered, and often better.  In 40 years, I haven't had a deal go bad from fellow Guzzisti.  Can't say it never happens, but it is rare...

I had one on my V85.  Ugly but effective.

Those of you that have bought from a distance…any real issues involved? I really am desiring a red Sport, but I dunno. Where I live, the nearest dealer is about 4 hours away, but when I called them, the phone was answered as an Indian dealer. Uh, oh!!

Anyway, I’m trying to figure out how to get a bike here in Idaho.

Anywho, any advice for long distance purchase? Thanks!

As mentioned, do not use GD to set the TPS. Use a multi meter. The Casper cable is great!

This link should still work for the tuning guide if you need it:
