New Moto Guzzi Door Mats Available Now
If I bought that it would be with the understanding that it must be gone thru top to bottom.Having done that already to a well kept 2001 Jackal that did NOT sit around I spent over 3K to renew the bike. And I still need to do brake lines.One thing you can't check if it won't start is the charging system. I've seen several from 200-04 that needed replacement. Again, I know some will not agree, but any part of that system is on the way out I'll replace it all. Done it one time and be DONE. But I'm that way. When I'm 200 miles in the southwest desert with no cell I need to KNOW it's all good. You exceptions may differ.
In the pic of the fairing. The turn signal is sticking out a bit. Either the stalk is bent or more likely the fairing mount is bent. Check the fork slider for damage/scuffing.If you can rattle can, then some bondo and paint. Boot guard would need fiberglass at least or just take them and their mount bracket off.If you really want it I would think from $1000 to $1500. $1500 would be if it runs. If you really really want it, then $2000 and no more.Tom
Run Forest Run....far far away from that heap.Honestly there are much better deals to be had....and the worst part is you may fix it up and find that you actually don't like the riding position, or the incredible buffeting. I would humbly suggest you find a good running one and take it for a test ride to see if you even like riding it.The shifting on the Cali vs. the Norge is like going back in time about 50 years...honestly if you like your Norge, I don't think you'll like the Cali.
I would. To me, shows a lack of attention. But I'm that way, so there's that.
How tall are you? My california came with a seat that had at least 3" of foam and gel pads added. Unfortunately the shape was awful and the bike became unrideable after an hour due to pain in my tailbone. I took off all the non factory foam and gel pad and the seat was way too low. My knees were at a very uncomfortable angle where it was difficult to shift but it fixed my tailbone pain due to the factory shape. I took the seat to a professional upholstery guy that's local and told him I wanted the same shape but taller. It's much better now but I should have moved the curve in the seat back some. I am 5'11" with a 34" inseam. There is no way I would have kept this bike with the factory seat.
A nice looking, if higher mileage CalVin has popped up in the for sale forum here. It's far away, but it's the sort of thing along with later EV you can probably run across where you are at, just keep an eye out
I think the poll is missing a few more choices:1. $500 or less2. $500-$1000.:)
