I’ve got to get a Corbin!! The neds seat with airhawk on top is “ ok” but the Corbin is taller too to stretch out the legs.  IMHO the seat is the worst thing about the EV with big computer

I have a Corbin on mine and like it! Also, the Swanee Aero Foil fairing/windshield combo is perfect for me at a hair under 6'.

Rat.. that’s cool!   Maq... are those 30 or 40L bags? I wonder would the 40s make my butt look big?  Sorry for off topic

One of the best bikes ever built. I had one just like yours. Put almost 90,000 miles on it. The last 20,000 miles were put on with a salvage title after I "totaled" it in 2003. I still miss the bike and would gobble up another someday if the right deal rolled around.

Patrick alerted me to the problem with the fuel filler moat drain, it can lead to a rust plugged fuel filter if the bike is left outside.

Why did I ever sell my 98, I must have been crazy.

If the shifter lever or brake lever are all sloppy, drop me a note, Brass bushings help solve that. MrLeeBruns@Gmail.com

Mine has been great. Yours looks like it has had some tender loving care through the years.
Good advice given can only add a couple ramblings.
There were a couple recalls. One is a throttle return cable added. If done you'll have two cables at the throttle.
The rear wheel was also recalled. A plate was added on the new one to catch spoke nipples if they broke from getting into the rear drive. https://www.webbikeworld.com/moto-guzzi-recalls/
Have replaced the voltage regulator as previously mentioned and an oil pressure sensor.
Every once in awhile inspect the oil delivery hoses from the cylinder heads to the front of the engine. Had one split on me. Was able to do roadside repair to get home and replaced with newer improved version.
If not mentioned every other blue moon pull the sensor by the right throttle body and wipe off. It's magnetic and runs dry catching small debris off the flywheel.
+1 on Lee's bushings. Have had them on for over 15 yrs. or so.
