Re: Front Wheel balancing.

interested to hear your results...especially as punctures in a difficult to access solo rear tubeless tire could be a concern for some.

Re: Front Wheel balancing.

I was able to fit a car tire on the stock Guzzi Norge rear rim, but since my local auto shop didnt have a small enough mandril i had it mounted and dynamically balanced by a motorcycle shop who specializes in big touring bike’s and familiar with putting car tires on the rear of harkeys,hondas, etc. ...

Re: Looking for a Triking

I hear Crickets... surprised no one has answered. :-) I believe the factory has at least one for sale, if not it’s much more satisfying building your own anyway.

Re: Brooklands windscreen mounts

Thanks! Another benefit is that the higher outboard pedestals help level out the windscreens a bit since the cowl is so curved.

Re: single hoop rollbar

Thanks Eric...found it online.

Re: Exhaust installation and silencer mounting

This what i did (t4) ...pipes factory length, “p” clamp is rubber mounted with 2-3/8" bolts and extra wide fender washers inside body. The clamps secure 13” stainless resonators. Sound is glorious, not overwhelming aurally or visually. Everything tight...braided couplers allow movement without rattl...
