    Cali Custom rear shock hose leaking

    Well, It is still leaking. After I took it back to the shop last summer for shock repair/recharge I didn't do a ton of riding. I just noticed a couple weeks ago, on the one ride-able day in a couple months, that it is still leaking from somewhere near the top of the hose or at the banjo bolt...

    Thanks! I emailed them. We'll see.

    Cali Custom rear shock hose leaking

    hello Guzzi folks - I just got my tires replaced at a reputable shop and on my way home I noticed intermittent puffs of smoke on the rear left side. When parked, I saw that fluid was slowly dripping from the rear shock mesh hose onto the exhaust. The leak seems to be near the top and running...

    Transform the ride quality on your Custom

    Just to close the loop - before I embarked on a 1600-mile trip last month I adjusted these screws to "12". Totally smoothed out the ride - one of them was set to about 12 already but the other side was about 2 turns from to end - not sure what the previous owner tried to do there. After...

    Additional driving lights

    Yes. I'm not sure how thick that mounting is on the light bar, but longer bolts would do the trick. :) I seem to want all these accessories but I want the bike to stay naked. I'm conflicted.

    Additional driving lights

    They mount right into the existing holes if you get the right bolt.

    Additional driving lights

    Just thought I would join in the thread... I just installed some Denali lights on my Custom. I like how hidden they are, and they are really bright. revzilla.com/motorcycle/denali-dm-micro-led-driving-light-kit

    Transform the ride quality on your Custom

    Ohhhhh....... I'll look at it tonight. I can't find this in any manuals. Which manual would it be in? Has anybody seen it described in an official manual?

    Transform the ride quality on your Custom

    I'm very confused. The 2014 1400 Custom has remote canisters that have a little valve cap over an air valve. I don't have a set screw to turn with a quarter, and the guy from the shop said that they are not adjustable. Could someone please post a pic of these shocks with adjustable rebound that...

    1400 Custom: Stock rear shocks - what can I adjust? (I'm new, please be kind)

    It only refers to pre-load on the standard shocks without the reservoir.

    What brand/model are they? I'm looking at Denali, but they are pricey. Thanks!

    1400 Custom: Stock rear shocks - what can I adjust? (I'm new, please be kind)

    Hello all - BACKGROUND: I don't know anything about shocks, especially the ones on the 1400 Custom. This is my first real modern bike. So I have a 1400 Custom, it has the stock rear shocks with the remote reservoirs. What does this mean (to have the remote reservoirs), what does this do for...

    Buffeting away again in concussionville

    I have the Lower bracket style, with no holes to mount the deflectors.

    Buffeting away again in concussionville

    Yes - I have the windshield kit you posted. As for the deflectors, I actually was trying to bolt as few things to the bike as possible, and not spend an extra $150+ to overcome a design problem. Also, the "Lower" mounting bracket is different than the one in the stock picture above - it...

    Buffeting away again in concussionville

    UPDATE: I've sent an email to the dealer where I purchased it and to Piaggio/Moto Guzzi to see if there is some sort of customer satisfaction policy I can take advantage of. The dealer's policy is that these are "special order" and can't be returned, but this seems like a more serious issue. I...

    Buffeting away again in concussionville

    Does the fly screen reduce any belly-chest air resistance, or just look really cool? Either would be good. :)

    Buffeting away again in concussionville

    Well, I have the "Lower" style brackets so the stock touring windshield would not work. Plus I think I'm looking for the shorty to put the turbulence at my shoulders.

    Buffeting away again in concussionville

    So, I didn't really want my first post to be so negative. I just installed the "low-bracket medium" windshield on my 2014 Custom. I'm surprised they are allowed to produce an OEM part that can cause such physical pain. It makes me wonder - has anyone ever gotten a concussion or actually passed...
