Does anyone know the measurements for the front wheel bearings for a 2012 V7C? Mine seem to be making a clicking sound as the wheel turns. So I want to replace them. Started after replacing front brake pads. Brakes do work normally.

The front wheel bearings are the same bearings used on many Guzzis, including all of the recent and current small block V7 models.
Part number is GU92204221.
Dimensions are 20 ID, 42 OD, 12 W, same as generic bearing size 6004 2RS.

Wheel bearings don't usually start making noises suddenly.
If the noise started after changing brake pads I'd check to see if the pads or the rotor are making the noise.

+1 on the other changes to the front end rather than the bearings. Take the caliper off and spin the wheel. If the clicking is still there than maybe bearings.

Does the bike in question have floating brake discs?

I'm a bike mechanic. We rarely replace wheel bearings on road bikes. Something else going on. Brakes give more problems than wheel bearings. Take the caliper off and spin the wheel (as stated above). Is the noise still there?

It will be the disc moving on the bobbins as it centralises in the pads.
It’s supposed to do it. If you remove the caliper and jam some rag in a couple of the holes in the disc to stop it rattling on the carrier, you’ll likely as not, find the noise stops.
Also as the disc turns, it falls down and makes a “clack” and then as it rotates a bit more, it does it again.
There’ll be a “click/clack” sound as it turns. You’ll also notice that the noise stops as the rotation increases and the centrifugal (sic) force throws the disc radially and takes up the play.
My V85 does it noticeably.
