I'd use the small Knipex plier wrench. Or perhaps the Knipex Cobra pliers.

Both are very high quality tools. The wrench pliers will work great for unscrewing anything. Very secure and strong... The cobra pliers will be more versatile for other things too, but they will harm the nuts more.

See if this is something that would work for ya

One of these, I spit the pair with a buddy that needed one for one of his projects. Took a little fab work inside the bucket for it to mount but not too bad and super cheap. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07FMQMMN6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_fabt1_KKRUFbVAQ9W0D?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

Dart Marlin on '21 850 Special.
Definitely an improvement over no screen. Height 5'9"

Dart Marlin Flyscreen (Crystal Clear) Motorcycle Windshield compatible with Moto Guzzi V7 Mk III (2017-2020)

I got a 30$ one on Amazon that looks exactly like the dart, it’s just a piece plastic and a bracket, St far no issues. https://www.amazon.com/Motorcycle-Windscreen%EF%BC%8CBlack-Universal-Deflector-Windshield/dp/B097DCZ5KX/ref=mp_s_a_1_1_sspa?crid=QML4LNT1DIK6&keywords=v7+windscreen+motorcycle&qid=1664008686&sprefix=v7+windscreen+motorcycle%2Caps%2C321...

Were my last two orders. I only did the back though. Back wore out way before the front, then again, I bought the bike used, so I don't know if the front had already been replaced once, but in 2000 miles it seemed unlikely.

Phone in pocket. TomTom Vio on the handlebars... It looks great and doesn't fook with the aesthetic... And phone stays safe.

Had to go to Home Depot and get my own spacers and bolts to make it work, but it made a huge difference.

I take it off when it’s city riding, I hate the way it looks 🤣

I have a 2020 Stone. These work great https://www.amazon.com/dp/B008LT6XLM/ref=cm_sw_r_em_api_i_7Z0JTNM0GK5Q1PFDN0B0?_encoding=UTF8&th=1 I've taken them on a few 200 mile journeys.

I did this two years ago.. So I can't find the exact one. But.. It was just like this one..

I was going to get the ones the OP linked to but also couldn’t stomach the price/shipping. Found these on Amazon and they work quite well. I only mounted one though they come as a pair. Keeps the bag off the wheel and looks ok.side bag guards

Yeah those are some pretty stringent rules. Does this mean that the tripometer has to be functioning when it's inspected? I don't know if this will make a difference but I was just referring to something like this small USb rechargable unit. It only takes about 5 seconds to put on it take off and your bike will look all stock. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08762L4QG/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_fabc_AG0DB8M7N5PE43AZZ3DJ?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

If you haven't read her book, "The Perfect Vehicle: What It Is About Motorcycles", I highly recommend it. It may also be a good read for non-riding friends, to perhaps help them understand.

Had to take the small bracket holding the h4 bulb off, but the LED fit right in

https://www.amazon.com/LisylineAuto-Motorcycle-Headlight-KAWASAKI-Universal/dp/B089QCFR1K. Is the one I got. Note... I also change brackets which required removing top of the triple tree and sliding them on forks. Brackets came with many spacers. I have heard if you invert the stock guzzi brackets they will work on most 7 inch housings. Also note the headlight in that housing is a super tight fit if you are trying to fit all your wires/connectors in the housing with it. Not easy or relaxing but it does work. If your wires are less bulky you may also want to get foam to pad it out, but it's more likely a tight fit than loose.

I added additional wiring, yes. In total I've probably spent about 6 hours doing wiring. Note, I also can't say how that light will fit in original housing (unless the one you got comes with one).

Basically, I ran new lines from the directional wires (they run along gas tank down to main harness -- you will need to remove tank). That's not "necessary", if you're going to splice directly, but I wanted to keep original stuff generally.

At the main harness I put on some bullet connectors and just ran 2 wires that I didn't care about cutting splicing back up to the front main housing.

Inside the housing is more complex, but this thing: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07FCLGF3T -- has been a lifesaver. It comes with various clips, one of which will fit what is currently the actual main feed into the headlight. From there I created a custom harness that spliced directional wires and running light it's tough to explain, but if you imagine it, you only have a single running light wire, and one for each directional. You're going to need 2 for each directional and three for the running lights (still one going into main light + 1 each for directionals if you want those running functions).

I basically made the custom harness with crossovers/splices for directionals/running in my kitches and then just put connectors on all the other lines and plugged it all in.

Really not sure how to describe it, but I do recall one of the most important things... for whatever reason green (coming in for the main light wires) is ground... not black. From there I was able to roughly play around and just figure out what was what.

I found a cable that works and have successfully written the ECU map. Though there's a few caveats.

Firstly, I could only get it to work on windows.

Here's the cable: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07VDK11FX

There are two settings with a switch on the cable. I used the 2007 - 2018 mode (I think this might change the can bus type). Secondly, I did have one failed write, though I think it was due to low voltage on the battery, so you must be absolutely sure you have a charger attached and keeping your battery topped off. Lastly, I had to install the older drivers, specifically the 2.12.28.0 drivers available from the chipset maker here: https://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/CDM/CDM21228_Setup.zip

The ones that were on my Win10 system are not listed there, but had a more recent version.

I've tried many different covers over the past 35 years and am pretty impressed with this one:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0142IHKX0/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_NjFKFbWCBRFZ0?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

It's only $20 and has lasted 3 years and still waterproof. I live in Miami so i can't say how it'll do with snow but for hot rainy climates has been great.

P.s. I have 6 of these covers for the bikes i keep in daily rotation, all of them have held up equally well.

bike alarms

I also like that ppl think they are security alarms since a lot of my bikes don't have ignition keys.

Update: the fix from Guzziology took care of it. Replace the inner spring on the side stand with a Moose Racing exhaust spring no. M7712. I thought for sure I got the wrong spring cause it looked too small, but just stretch it out and it works.

If interested, this is where the fix comes from: https://www.amazon.com/Guzziology-Version-9-Dave-Richardson-ebook/dp/B07L39NDC6

I literally just did this exact same thing. Buy this and hook it up to the battery after taking off the side panel. Let it charge overnight and you'll be good to go the next morning.

Those are some cheap bags from Amazon. Probably going to get something a little nicer in the future, but they provide enough room to store a tool roll, OBD2 reader, baseball hat, and room for a small bag of whatever from the store.

They just wrap over the top of the frame and are held in place by the pressure from the seat. The bottom and sides of the bags sit against the passenger foot guard, which keeps them from interfering with the suspension.

It's not perfect, but pretty good for $35.
