Hi There,

I'm new to the site and to Moto Guzzis. I've had a 79 V50 for a few years and I've recently bought a donor Targa 750 to convert to a café racer (1994). My Targa has the standard "Snowflake" alloy wheels. I would like to change the wheels to spoked wheels. Would anyone know of another Guzzi model that has spoked wheels that would be compatible with the Targa. On the rear wheel of my Targa, the disc is on the same side as the drive. (Right hand side as you sit on the bike)The only model that I know as being similar is the Nevada but the disc is on the opposite side.

Any help, thoughts, advice would be appreciated.

Cheers

Kevin
 
Not sure that the later spoked wheel bikes have the same set up but likely.Check the parts fiches on the later V 7's- Stein Dinse have them on their parts website.Other option would be to use the Nevada swinging arm and brake set up complete but then you have a 16 " hoop to change out.If your planning on putting new ally rims then that's not a big problem

Thanks Chris - I will check out a Nevada Swinging arm and brake set up. as you say, I will be changing the size of the rear wheel anyway so that's not an issue. Thanks for your help.
