V9 Bobber Accessory Questions
« on: June 29, 2017, 08:42:56 PM »
Now that I have ordered a new V9 Bobber, I have a couple of accessory questions.

I am used to having a windscreen and some luggage capacity (per my Stelvio).

My questions are about a Guzzi accessory flyscreen and the Hepco-Becker C-Bow bag racks.
1. Does anyone have a V9 flyscreen and does it make any difference re: buffeting or insect deflection?
2. Does anyone have an overall photo of a V9 with just the C-Bow racks? The close-ups on the online stores seem to show they are not very intrusive but I'd like to see an overall view.
ThanksĂ‚

I have the flyscreen and the C-Bow racks along with the hard cases.

The flyscreen is effective and makes long stretches at 60+ mph quite doable.  60 mph without the screen was too much work for me.  The screen takes most of the pressure off the torso, accomplishing what a flyscreen is supposed to do.  With the clamshell ergonomics of the Bobber, it's a big improvement because you don't have a lean angle to counter the wind.  Plus the aesthetics are very elegantly matched to the bike.  I would attach it for the aesthetic alone.  You will have more noise but not offensively so.

I don't have a picture of unadorned racks but I'll tell you it is very unobtrusive, believe me! (doing best Trump impersonation)  C-Bow is the way to go on this bike, IMO, if you want to avoid the pregnant guppy look.

Thanks, Adan. That is what I was looking for.
