Just not sure how big of a difference I will see, wondering if anyone has any opinions on this. I am not heavy (165~lbs) but will be doing a lot of traveling and camping with luggage and would be good to have something that can also handle a passenger.
You didn't mention what your luggage plans were but be aware some luggage options are not compatible with aftermarket shocks.I recommend the Givi Tail Rack if you want to use the excellent Givi Monolock top cases. And if you buy the Monolock side cases, you can buy a rekey kit so they all use the same key.
I'm running the 420MM Hagon enduro rear shocks and KTech Fork springs for the last 6K miles. Very happy with the setup and cost. Suits my needs perfectly.
Here's my thread on using 1" longer Hagon Trail shocks https://wildguzzi.com/forum/index.php?topic=96739.0
did you ever come up with a solution to the side stand issue from raising it?also I have a question about buying one and rider weight. I am getting a zard 2 to 1 exhaust that weighs significantly less than the stock exhaust. Should I mention this when ordering my suspension and giving them my rider weight?and I am looking at these k-tech shocks, is there any reason I wouldnt be able to use the ones made for the v7 ii on the v7 iii? specs seem pretty much the same other then the 40mm length difference. specs on them (v7iii then v7ii): https://store.ktechsuspension.com/shock-absorber-razor-moto-guzzi-v7-iii-294b-160-350-guz.html?find=moto-guzzi-v7-iii-2019-388871 and https://store.ktechsuspension.com/shock-absorber-razor-moto-guzzi-v7-294b-160-390-guz.html?find=moto-guzzi-v7-ii-2016-390650
I tried a pair of Bitubo V7 II shocks but found them too long, creating too much of an angle on the swing arm/driveshaft joint. The Hagon's I bought are 20mm or about 3/4" longer. 40mm is too much in IMHO.
Yeah the 420mm that bulldog9 mentioned threw me off but thinking about that now I'd guess he isn't talking about a iii and has a 390 stock.
From what I understand the givi rear rack isn't compatible with any after market shocks. If that is incorrect please let me know. So I was planning on getting the oem rack, could do h&b but I'm not a fan of how it looks when it isn't loaded.
mdhen -- I say go for the Andreani kit. I consider my projects a success if I only have to do them twice.
