Just a long shot??
Does anyone have, or know where I can source, red cylinder head covers for a 2014 California 1400 Custom, please?
New, ...or used in good condition would be fine.
I believe that I have tried all the usual Guzzi approved servicing and sales places?

1400 RedGlossy VC
 
The Audace Carbon has then as standard I believe so they must be orderable from Guzzi. The covers are the same for all 1400 models.

Yes, they should be available from any dealer. I can get them for you if you want. Send a direct email if so; Info @ GuzziTech.com
Powder-coat (of yours) would likely be equally as much because of the processes needed to get that result... but might be worth an inquiry.
 
The old "accessory" ones were darker and more shiny. New ones (mgx and audace carbon) look better imo.

Sorry I realise it's a matter of taste, but I have to respectfully disagree - I have the "older accessory" ones and they are anodised (I believe) not painted. To my mind the bright red pained ones on the audace carbon seem not very subtle - just my 2 cents

Are their pictures out there of both Red’s ?
The same could be said for adding Chrome bits :rolleyes:

Like these ? ( or is it just the lighting ?

If anyone can find a set of the ano-look (they’re powder-coated BTW), please let me know. I’d love to have another set (though I can duplicate the finish/color as shown below). Above is gloss red (still available and I can get) and below that is the fine textured bright red on the new bikes. I sell them on the site here; https://gtmotocycles.com/products/oem-c14a-red-valve-covers

Ano-look:

Ok - Way different.

Beautiful match with the forks.

Choosing one over the other would depend on what is being done with the rest of the bike.
I could see how a mix of Red paint and Anodized parts would be ummmm, not as pleasing to some eyes.

Actually, I have a Cal touring (black) and was thinking about the same.... not sure if it would match the tank and the rest of the bike... Its $168 at AF1. I would love to see a picture if anybody has done this to their black Cal touring :)
 
I wasn't sure at first, but the red grew on me. I thought the stock polished ones were too bland. But i am very happy with the red. Sets off the bike.
 
69096E8A E5DD 4ABA 944D 101A6F3857B7 I have a set for the V7 III in the garage.
I’ll be installing them when I get a rig to jack up the back of the bike... for the valve job.

I was thinking of going whole Hog like this , but maybe that’s too much.
Now I’m thinking some pin striping on the tank.. don’t want to Tart it up Too much.
But all Black make Jack a dull boy
