Had a little wander out yesterday after fitting a pair of Mistrals. I love it, and also blame those Drizzlers of the lemon (partially) for influencing me 
I have the breaking strain of a Kit Kat in the desert

A cracking looking bike there Al. Health to enjoy! Guzzis ... mmmmmmmmm ...
Nice one Tony. When did you get it? Was it from A+D motorcycles? What brand is the luggage rack? So many questions

A&D Again
Sally and Stew worked some magic Put a Hepco and Becker rear rack on it as I liked the design better than the Guzzi, and got a deal on the leather rack bag thing. It's also got a dart flyscreen, factory heated grips (Which are shite
) It's just a lovely thing to ride, just grab a lid and head out for a bimble, no bluetooth to this, connect to that. I love it, with the twin front Brembo's it stops on a sixpence, and there are some quirks, like the dash may look the same as the Stone, but the Sport has a fuel gauge, the stone doesn't. Sport mode is nice, you get a bit of a burble on the overrun and the throttle does sharpen up enough to notice it. The cruise control is handy to, even though basic, it does the job to let your hand take a break for a while if needed.very nice they are so good, you should have a look at bugmoto on youtube he's going across the US on one one.
I've been a subscriber to his channel for a while. I like his presentation.
Tony, I'm surprised at you having replaced the original silencers. The OE ones sound quite fruity to me, certainly better than the OE silencer on my V85tt. I trust the Mistrals are even better.
They are, but I've had a brain injury
and truth be told they are not really needed the stock are fine. These were a cancelled order so a little bit of a saving and so I thought why not. They are about 3" shorter than the stocks and just over 1KG lighter which is not really important in the grand scheme of things.
generally too hard ... until you put a lot of weight on it.
My Cali is the same , load it up for holiday , and it become compliant.
I’ve got Motech risers on mine, picked them up used on eBay for a decent price.

Tony, did the bar risers fit easily, did you have to re route any cables etc? According to Gutdibits they reckon they should fit without altering anything.
Went on fine Al, no cable rerouting or alterations and was able to get what for me, is the perfect bar position. Bars go lock to lock fine and no pinch points or stretched cables / hoses
It finally arrived yesterday morning, two months after ordering it. It wasn't A+Ds fault, it seems Piaggio have had some issues with the logistics company they use for distributing bikes. I've had the following fitted by the dealer; a centre stand, heated grips, fuel tank pads, engine protection bars and the under seat USB port. I've only done 60 miles which I did with Stu, Brut33 of this parish. I've now got to fit a front 'Fenda Extenda', a rear hugger and a Givi luggage rack.

Congratulations on the new Sport! I can see it will benefit from a front fender extension, almost every motorcycle nowadays needs one. That would make quite a versatile motorcycle with a luggage rack along with removable shield and panniers.
Thanks for wearing the face covering…you wouldn’t want to out shine your new awesome steed now!It finally arrived yesterday morning, two months after ordering it.

brakes are a bit of overkill !
Out with the old, in with the new.
I must admit, when I rode up to your house yesterday I was a bit worried because I thought you'd bought a horse.
It was certainly a nice sunny day to have a new bike delivered. The photos don't do it justice, much nicer in the flesh. A ride with a stop at a pub for fish and chips and Guinness 0.0 ensued.
My turn to get the lunch in on Friday, Knott End beckons.

Interesting to see how you get on Al. I had to give up last year after having to dive off my V85TT due to dodgy hips locking up every 30 mins. Despite the V85 being the most comfortable bike I've owned (out of 27
) considered a ADV350 just so I could still have a 2 wheel fix, but the seat is wide, maybe a V7 is an option.......and I love a Guzzi
