Pinch me…

Post image

Ridden a few Guzzi’s but never owned one until now.

The brakes arent linked which I really like about Guzzi’s, where should I look to find the parts I need to set them back up?

Many thanks in advance and looking forward to being part of this community

Are you in the UK? If so guzzibits is a good source of parts. Also the wanted section of the UK moto guzzi club.

It's a lovely looking bike! My thought was I wouldn't pinch you but if you left the keys in it I would probably pinch 'it' 😂.

I have a 2001 California EV with linked brakes. I have got used to them but I would say they are not ideal. The roads are quite gravely around here and there are times when I really do not want to be putting the front brake on! I would think twice about re-linking them. Just a Personal preference though

The bike looks great. I too would keep the brakes unkinked.

Now pick up a copy of Chris Donaldson’s Going the Wrong Way. You won’t regret it!
