There is a whole thread on the 1400 suspension setup and improvements over at Guzzi Tech , com in the forum section , Some have installed Matris adjustable front sprinds/dampers with noticeable improvement, I have found a huge difference in front end feel on the 1400 depending on the front tire type and pressure. I find it tolerable when two up and loaded but on the harsh side when solo, make sure your rear preload it set up for you and how you load it, it makes a big difference. Good luck getting it sorted out . A fantastic bike .
