Nice pic. I'm also a stornello owner. Love the bike, planning on doing some upgrades this winter, suspension & seat.  I'm interested in your side luggage carrier. Any info on your thoughts and where you purchased it would be appreciated.

Looks like Mosko Moto 25L Scout pannier. One sided. Same as mine.

Nice, Green10005! It is indeed a Mosko Moto 25L one-side pannier. Great kit. I only wish I went for the larger one...25L is a little tight for a single bag.

As for location, the Land of Steady Habits, aka Connecticut US of A. And that tree is a 100+ year old silver beach tree. Even more magnificent than the bike!

Love my Stornello (#742), just upgraded to K-Tech fork Springs and 420 mm Hagon Enduro rear shocks, really like the improvement. Next up is HB side bags.

HUGE difference, 5"+ of suspension travel, the dual springs work better than a progressive spring, and give a much improved ride. No more bottoming out and backbreaking ride or getting launched on big bumps. Same with Fork. Hagon will build the shocks to your weight/specs. If you order them, be sure to tell Hagon you need 12MM bushings in the shocks, they came with 10MM and had to swap out the bushings.

Since this us a Guzzi forum, may I ask the price range of the shocks and springs?
I’m definitely interested of this upgrade on my #101.

I got the K-Tech Springs for about a hundred and $110 delivered, and if I remember correctly the shocks or $295 delivered.
