No, you shouldn’t have to bend those tabs. I would mount the brackets to the headlight bolts then slide the fairing over the headlight with the top of the brackets against the flange of the top part of the fairing and somehow mark those two holes or maybe use some small clamps to keep them temporarily anchored to the fairing. I assume you have the bottom bracket, I’d mount that and somehow mark that hole and drill a hole in the fairing and with those three anchors, and some adjustment I would then mark and drill the holes for the tabs. Oh, you have wider fork placement on that bike than the LeMans so you will need to open those cut outs on the fairing in order for it to be mounted. I’d purchase some rubber washers like the ones for the original LeMans which I’ve found at Home though they aren’t exactly the same. I’m sure that Maryland Metric has some of those washers too.
This will probably be a nail biter in terms of getting the correct locations but if it isn’t painted they can always be filled if there is a problem.

Just thought of something, check the sidestand. If real loose there is a switch to shut off motor. Maybe the shop oiled it & now it's bouncing or rattling.

You got your warning, I'd get one. That's just me though, if you pull it have a new one in case there's no issue.

Likely swarf on the end of the sensor. Pull it out and clean it off see what happens. My $.02 Paul B

Neil, it wasn't me, but it could easily be a member of the RI BMW group that I pal with. Half of them have Guzzis, some don't even have BMWs!

My 2007 Norge has the red triangle warning come on intermittently, but getting more mittent. Guzzi Diag says P0335 Camshaft sensor: no signal.
The bike still runs like a well-oiled top.
Any ideas?
thanks

The Mandello really isn't all that heavy, 515 lbs wet. It became too tall for me as I am old and getting older. It got away from me three times this past year. When it started to fall I couldn't keep it from going all the way down. My new V7 850 is working just fine.

I hear you. Arthritis impair mobility, reaction time increase, coordination suffer - the older we get, the better we were. I am 61, and today I did one deadlift set of 10 rep with 160 kg / 353 lbs with ease, which is not THAT far from what I did 35 years ago. However, in real life situations, I am much weaker due to aches and pains and reduced mobility. Hence I very much prefer lighter bikes. My 475 lbs (wet) Roamer is heavier than I would prefer, and moving my son's 395 lbs MT07 is a joy in comparison. Ideally, I would like my next bike to be less than 300 lbs wet. More fun to ride, and utterly easy to control in just about every condition.

I bought a new Guzzi last week. The gal doing the paperwork, financing and up-sells was good looking. I didn't finance or take any of the extras but I bet she sells a lot of them. She didn't try to talk me into anything as I told her I did all my own work. She was very nice and knew what she was doing. I got the title in the mail yesterday, fastest ever.
