    Quill T3 Exhaust Can

    Hi, mine fitted straight on with no other tuning needed, immediately made the bike run better, helped by the washable filter, never needs replacing, just washing and reoiling, and really helps the sound, more like a bike, not a hoover now ! Regards Bobelpfan

    Quill T3 Exhaust Can

    Hi, I have had a Quill T3 on my Breva 1200 for the past year and 13,000 miles, and love it, it is 3.5 kilos lighter than the Guzzi tailpipe, and transformed the way it goes,sounds and looks. I also fitted a BMC air filter, a washable one like a K&N, made big improvements to the sound, and...

    The Griso You all want, makes all others slow

    Hi, The millepercento Griso has no fairing, so hanging on will be a challenge I would imagine, not as bad as Allen Millyard's Dodge Viper engined bike, 10 cylinders, eight litres and 500 bhp at the wheel, I spoke to him He is an engineer in a Nuclear Power Station, so doesn't settle for zip...

    The Griso You all want, makes all others slow

    HI, I think the fact that it is bigger capacity and water cooled will help, tolerances are more consistent in water cooled bores, which is where air cooling lets the side down, also keeping mechanical noise in check. The article is worth reading,even if this bike doesn't do it for you. for the...

    The Griso You all want, makes all others slow

    Hi, The Uk magazine motorcycle sport & Leisure magazine has an exclusive test of the Millipercento ALBA Griso, basically a stock Griso chassis with a watercooled conversion for the top end, with ROUND barrels, 1420 cc and 107 ft lbs of torque and 165 BHP, the bike has already passed European...

    Pyramid Plastics Fender Extenda

    Hi, looks very neat, I fitted a skidmarx rear hugger, bolt fell out, bracket snapped, but once a decent bolt and nyloc fitted and the bracket was welded and strengthened it has done a very good job, also fitted the Guzzi rear fender extension, which keeps the rearlights clean, Regards Bobelpfan

    15,000 miles now up, what broke/worked ?

    HI, I now have 15,000 miles on my Breva 1200 since the end of May 2009. So far it has been tremendous, and a big step up from my previous Guzzi, a California Stone, that covered 46,000 in four years. The only reaal failure was a snapped tappet adjuster bolt, replaced by the dealer under...

    Fell off !!

    Hi, had a small motorcycle/road interface last week on the only remaining patch of ice in Oxfordshire, damn ! No damage at all to me apart from injured pride, snapped the offside footpeg (that's the right side to us Brits !) and ripped the lid off my Hepco pannier, really pleased with the...

    Demise of an independant thinker, Buell

    Hi, as most of you will be aware this last week Harley Davidson pulled the plug on Buell, Erik Buell's announcement on youtube made me feel for him, he put everything into it, but Harley has had an 84% drop in profits, and is also trying to flog MV Agusta, Apart from it being a shame that a...

    Heli-Bars for Moto Guzzi Norge...

    Hi, I would agree stainless would be nice, but the covers supplied help the cosmetics, I have bought a lot of similar ones from Harley and Triumph dealers, to fill in various Allen bolt heads, so keeping the edges clean and sharp, I find the risers money well spent, as I am now comfortable, the...

    New Quill pipe for a Breva 1200

    Hi, I have only just got through the first tank of gas,slightly worse on mileage than before, but I think it is the pilot nailing it to make nice noises, combined with more hard acceleration to enjoy the much beefier midrange causing that ! Yes £200 is right, excellent for the build quality...

    New Quill pipe for a Breva 1200

    Hi, Because I went for the plain stainless pipe, without carbon /titanium, on the basis that the weight wouldn't be much different, the stainless is over 2 kilos lighter than the stock pipe, as it eliminates the catalyser, and nearly all the popping on the overrun as well, the price was exactly...

    New Quill pipe for a Breva 1200

    Hi, no problems with clearance, did 150 miles, box didn't get warm, very nice sound, and no problem with fueling, as I said, it pulls harder in the midrange, and I will keep an eye on the consumption. Regards Bobelpfan
