    Cal 1400 Suspension Thread

    Apologies for stepping on any toes as that was not my intent. I do value any feedback from this site. My seat of the pants feeling of non compliance in the rear could be wrong. Might try to fit a small zip lock to a shock shaft before my next ride to see what kind of travel is being used. Um...

    Cal 1400 Suspension Thread

    I don't think bottoming is the issue. Haven't taken any measurements but sitting in the saddle with no preload, the rear is barely settling, probably less than an inch. Literally dropping my weight on the bike (while sitting still) produces little rear suspension movement. Just for the heck of...

    Cal 1400 Suspension Thread

    I'm amazed that anyone who rides a 1400, in my case a touring, would think the rear suspension is adequate. Almost as amazed as the mileage claims for tires but that's another story. Got my bike, a new 2017 last year. On sharp edged bumps or dips it will launch my 170lbs with gear 2 inches up...

    Bagster tank cover and tank bag

    Anyone have any experience with Bagster? Any outlets in the US? Their website seems vague and difficult to understand with no info on price or ordering.

    First Impressions 1400 Touring

    For what they're worth, after 120 ride home on a new 2017. Some folks have referenced sport touring with this bike. It would have to be a pretty smooth road for me to agree with that. Corner entries or mid corner bumps definitely upset the chassis. Too much compression damping and not enough...

    1400 Break In

    Stephen Did you run the OEM syn oil until your first oil change? If so, how many miles?

    1400 Break In

    I guess the title of my original post was misleading, or my post wasn't completely read. As I said I've broken in many new engines over the years without any problems. My question has more to do with Moto Man and his break in regimen. Maybe no one is familiar with him?

    1400 Break In

    First time Guzzi guy. At the risk of creating more debate probably than tires or oil, recently read a piece by a guy calling himself "Moto Man". Some of his points are well taken, tho I've had no problems with my new engines in the past. His contention of use of petro base oil for break in...

    Cal 1400 Touring Top Case color match

    Pretty close to closing the deal on a 1400 Touring. A new 2017. Like the red color. I would need the top case. I like the QR aspect of the 50 lt box vs the 65 lt. Plus the 65 looks monstrously huge in comparison. And it sounds like the price is monstrously huge also. So from what I've seen the...
