Good to hear lots of folks don't have issues with the stock rear shocks, or with the rear vent drives overheating...
I just want that bikini fairing for my Centenario. Not buying the sketch kit though just for it.
Have you contacted AF1 or Cadre?I got the official Guzzi bikini fairing for my V7III from Cadre.
Might just do that although it might be an expensive option for me as I'm in Ireland,
Check with Italy. I have bought from Italy shipped to the states for what it would cost to buy in the states.
Here it is, 20 Feb, and still no Corsa. I talked with the dealer about a week ago, and they're just as frustrated. The latest info they were given is it should be on a slow boat from Italy next month, which means they should have it in April. They already have the Ago reverse cone mufflers, airbox lid elimination kit, and the UPMAP tuner (basically a Stage 1 kit). Now they just need a bike to install them on! I'm having some engine issues with this (1981 Lancia Zagato), so it'll keep me busy until the bike gets here... upload png image
EDIT - I JUST READ in the NJMGNOC Forum (one of the members is trying to buy one from Jim Hamlin) that they are all in the Piaggio NA US warehouse in TX, but they can't be released because they are still pending EPA Cert (on the Euro 5 Plus bikes).
When my V7-850 was set-up by the dealer, I asked for the rear shocks to be set at softest setting.Works well for me solo (180#) or two-up (+150#).Bike came with shock adjust tool, but have not used it.
How do they go about making the rear shocks “softer”.
I assume he's talking about reducing preload.But I assume you know that and are waiting to make some point about physics and shock travel, maybe progressive rate springs vs straight rate springs etc. Either that or it's a simple language barrier.
Eagerly awaiting the delivery of my '24 Corsa, hope to have it sometime this month (Jan). Couple of quick questions about these 850cc V7s. Would they benefit from a better vented rear drive? I've read that the OEM one is subject to clogging, so I'm going back to my loop-frame Eldo days and thinking about installing a vented plug of some kind (i.e. banjo bolt, hose barb, inverted plug with a 2mm hole drilled thru it, etc)? Also, if the OEM rear shocks are anything like the OEM shocks I had on my 2018 Triumph Street Twin, they're garbage, so newer rear shocks will be at the top of my short list of mods. I've seen that the older V7 Racers had OEM Ohlins shocks, and was wondering if they'd work on a '24 V7? I compared pics of a 2019 V7 Racer with Ohlins to a '24 V7 Corsa, and my initial guess is they "could" work, but the longer shock length of the Ohlins will raise the rear end of the Corsa?
Are the mechanical specs for this red/silver Corsa, the same as other, 2024 V7 850’s, or is there more to the Corsa, than just the fairing and paint scheme?
A matching red seat would make it look even better.
Well, I've decided to get the 2023 V7 Special Edition that the dealer actually has in stock, with an $1800 discount. This whole drama on the Corsa has just wore me out. They already have the Agostini mufflers, airbox lid elimination kit, and the UPMAP gizmo for the tune, all we needed was the bike. I'll be picking it up on the 19th.
