    Different handlebar for ‘17 Griso

    So I want to put a narrower bar on my Griso. Has anyone else done this that can tell me what has worked for them? Looking in the GTM store it is really difficult to tell what will work. I kind of like the rizoma super bike bar. MA001A or the LSL brooks bar which is 27 ½ inches wide.

    Griso GTM slip on & Remap today

    Today I rode over to GTM and had the slip on and remap done, along with open airbox mod. I also purchased the re-flash tool for any future maps and tps reset. What a great little tool that Todd has developed. I’ve had my Griso for over a year and half and 13,000 miles and thought it ran...

    Two week 4500 miles on my 2017 Griso

    I recently returned from a great trip on my 17 Griso. Before leaving I installed a shock purchased from Todd. I had purchased a GTM2 shock to replace the horrible stock shock which was a good thing because I would not have been able to do this trip on the stock shock. I left So Cal and...

    Replacement of stock shock with GTM SF Mono2

    I have 100 ~ 200 miles on the GTM M2 shock but I can tell it’s a big improvement over the Sachs shock. I’m 200 lbs suited up and the Sachs shock was maxed out on preload to get close to proper sag making the shock extremely harsh on dampening no matter what I did with the dampening adjustment...

    Griso fuel tank question

    I’ve been looking at a way to increase fuel capacity on my griso. With the small filler hole and it being down below the flip fuel cap it’s a real pain in the ass with California’s stupid vapor recovery spring loaded filler hoses. My idea is to remove the fuel intake from the tank and using a...

    Lemans 5 aftermarket carbs

    im looking for advise on using aftermarket carbs on my Lemans. What has been tried and what works. I currently went to the expense of putting on a set of mikuni flat slides that we sold to me as 40mm but it turned out that they ar 38s that have been bored out to 41.5mm. Now these carbs work...

    Transmission service question

    On my 89 Lemans you fill the transmission with 750cc and it fills up to the bottom of the transmission fill hole. On the 1400 it calls for 430cc but needs 500cc to fill to the bottom of the fill hole. I’m wondering which is the correct level. Am I overfilling if I fill to the bottom of the...

    C Bow mounts with OEM rack

    im looking for a better side bag setup rather than soft bags for my 1400 custom with the OEM rack. According to the AF1 site you cannot use the C bow mounts with the OEM rack. Has anyone got a suggestion or been able to make the C bows work with the Guzzi rear rack.

    Custom 1400 comparison

    i have been thinking about to HD lately because of the dealer network nationwide. Today I had the opportunity to ride a 2015 HD road king with 20K on the clock. I also have 22K on my 1400 with Todd’s fueling, Penske shocks, matris fork cartridges. Comparing the two bikes was like comparing a...

    i am experiencing an issue in the transmission or driveline/ final drive that I have not experienced until this last 4 day tour. The 1400 has almost 22,000 miles and in the last 1000 miles while on a trip I noticed that when I would shift down and come to a stop and then while taking off in...

    Need advise on removing plug caps

    I'm getting ready to do a valve check and having trouble getting the rubber caps off. They seem to stretch a lot but won't pop off. I'm sure someone has a trick to this I don't want to tear them.

    Bolt and Nut torque specs on 1400

    I spent about an hour looking thru the PDF for the torque specs on the 1400 for everything from the drain and fill plugs to the axel and caliper bolts and could only find the spec for the front and rear axel. Could someone post the torque specs for the commonly used nuts and bolts for...

    Traction Control Question

    Today when riding aggressively chasing other sport bikes up the hill to Idlewild, California I noticed the traction control light flashing while cornering fairly hard. It did this most of the way up the hill while cornering. No flashing while going straight. Never had this happen before while...
