Just an aside, what is the windshield? Does it help much with buffeting etc. It also, looks great.
I find the Dart pushed just a touch of turbulence into my helmet so I may lower it just a bit. Otherwise the V7 it's pretty much a perfect ride for me. Met Kev for Sunday breakfast and his set up looks good. Here's my "Roughed up" Stone (tires, taller suspension, and cosmetics):
So I've been back and forth with the V7 and some form of shield since I bought it.Because I generally prefer an open face helmet I have struggled to find the right solution.Used a Dart flyscreen at first.Moved to the pinelands and realized I was riding everywhere at highway speeds and tried a Dart Marlin.Both were good, but not really ideal for constant highway speeds and an open face helmet.Tried this fairing (inexpensive take-off from a board member here, used to be a on Jackal I believe), and it was more of the same.THAT IS, until yesterday, when I broke down and wore my Nolan N44 with the large (removable) face shield. And BAMN.It was damn near perfect. Like the Dart and Marlin before it the fairing keeps most of the air off my chest, but leaves my face largely in clean air. Add the Nolan face shield and I can ride at highway speeds with it positioned to allow some venting or basically blocking everything. PERFECT.So yes, I'm happy with this (and I like the looks better than the Dart or Marlin), but I probably would have been happy with the Dart or Marlin too if I wore a FF or had tried this damn Nolan sooner.That's my story, and I'm sticking to it.I think it looks ok without bags too:
Make the blue glossy, on all bodywork, with silver drivetrain and wheels please! :)
Um, Isn't that the Special in Blue?
There's a blue Stone.If it were me I'd want the blue Stone, with gloss paint, and fenders/covers painted to match.
+1I would prefer cast over wire wheels. The Special does have the tach which is nice, but the Stone is the better value, and I'd prefer the back pipes over chrome.
Personally I think the Stones would look so much better if they bothered to do this from the factory. Like night and day better. And I LIKE the blacked out look of the Stones. I just can't forgive them cutting corners by making the fenders and sidecovers nothing but black.
I prefer the side covers done up like the special.
Nice job Kev. Love that color! And with all the fenders and side covers painted, it looks awesome!!!
Now if Guzzi or some aftermarket will produce the 'Giallo Energico' paint. Can't find it online and the dealer says they can't get it.Local body shop wants nearly $200 to 'try' and mix up a matching color and won't consider doing the painting.Suggestions?
Paint the fuel tank too, then it will match.
