I liked his other video taking the 1000s to Mandelo, I do like hearing from these Guzzisti that have owned their bikes for many years and would never sell.. Both my Guzzi purchases have been clearly used bikes, service them and ride them.. these bikes need to be ridden.. :-)

Thanks Mick, that is a help. I have a friend with the same model so I will go and take some photos of his. The worry is what’s the reason for the changes? Guess I will be finding out..

Hi all, any electrical experts here? I was checking through my new to me Calvin and found some issues.. indicators are not working but I will look into that separately. But someone has bypassed something. Maybe start relay?fuel pump? brown wire is direct live from battery. The 2 red are cut from the fuse block. I am looking at the wiring diagram now to see what the fuse is for. also there is a black wire connector removed from a component there, see below the clear jointing block with the 2 red one brown wire.. Is the component tie wrapped to the frame normally there? what’s this for? thanks for any help cheers

Photo of the year!!! All bikes are adventure bikes

the previous owner said he got the seat and side panel from here. http://motoguzzi.fassoli.com its not easy to figure out what you would need for the website, But if anyone is interested I will give more details when I have them in my hand. Bike is being shipped just now and I am away from home..

Hi Joe, when I get the details I will post up here. I see we both have perfect taste in motorcycles

Thanks! they had 3 packs of 4 available. So bought them all . Delivery will be a while they say. Chinese new year next week...

I just found these on eBay.de made in USA. They have the extra T-R1 from the old Omron part number. Will they work? Says they are high current.. G8HE-1C7T-R1 5PIN DC12V relay

Thanks! yes I was looking at ratios and thought a new master cylinder would be required for the front brakes. I am sure I can e use something from another model in the piaggio line up. The rear brake might be more tricky to sort out. I guess I should ride the bike for a few miles to see if I like it as is..

Quick question to the Illuminati... has anyone here had experience or know anything about removing the linked brake set up on these California's? I know they are not strictly a linked system. Hand lever operates right from disk and foot brake operates rear brake and left front. I am considering changing to a traditional set up... cheers

coppa Italia is in for full service, suspension rebuild and a lot of other stuff. Hopefully I'll be set of a summer of twisty roads and smiles...

Me either, not sure if it's a one off. The previous owner is a member of the Guzzi club Genova. I will ask him where those came from.

Hey Doc, I have a black cali vintage coming. 2008. It has a single seat conversion and retro Eldorado style side panels. looks fun but I will put the standard skunk seat back on. I need to figure out how to post pictures...

Hey all, came across this thread. Looks like I am about to add a Calvin to keep the V11 company.. do we still have any fans here? My friend is the new owner of Biesels bike. Lovely machine…
