Ummm..Something’s missing.
« on: June 15, 2026, 07:45:07 PM »
No, it’s not the engine.
Can y’all tell me what it is from last time ?
I’ll give y’all a clue, it’s 3.2 kg and probably €350

Rear rack?  BTW that bike looks nice, kinda wish I hadn't traded my V85TT.

Yep, looks like a girls bike now. 
And that’s cool, we can all ride whatever style bike we want!

Actually it's a great looking Guzzi. It's a bit naked for my riding but great none the less.

I saved 10kg replacing the exhaust system with the Mistral. You can really feel the difference

What is the verdict on the Ohlins upgrade?

I'm enthused to do similar with the front end and ditch the high guard. Currently making some brackets to fill the gap and hold my aux lights. I find the underside to be quite clean so the low guard is doing most of the muck guard duty. Photos to follow.

I love it Dave. I can’t recall how much travel the standard shock had, but this one just seems to soak up everything.
I hope my Norge one is as good.

I had an Ohlins on my Norge.  Transformed the rear in the best way.
