Moto Guzzi California ll description

1985 Moto Guzzi California ll for sale 98% stock original, very fine condition,

I bought this bike from the original owner last winter. It was not running, He was selling this and a older Guzzi he had bought new because he had a new bike. I have not had it registered or on the road so the person who buys this bike will be the second owner. This Guzzi was the top of the line bike in 85. It came equipped with windshield, crash bars, detachable suitcase type hard bags, air shocks front and back, triple disc brembo linked brakes, floor boards, etc. This is a true survivor with only 10,000 miles on the clock, a drop in the bucket for a Moto Guzzi. Truly a RARE find. It was stored in a Garage and the bike shows it. The Chrome is in excellent shape. It has not been molested at all. It has stock mufflers, airbox, everything. It is missing the stock mirrors. The paint is in very nice condition. The tires are matching Conti with good life and no weathering.

The things I did besides overall cleaning and polishing, I had to install a new main switch, an Odyssey GMA battery, with new hold downs, rebuild the carbs and installed new float valves, replaced the rubber breather hoses all of them and cleaned the pvc valve, replaced a non stock coil with a stock one, cleaned the gas tank out. The bike now starts fine and runs strong.

The things I noticed it will need is a bulb in one tail light and a headlight bulb.

The things I see wrong or need attention possibly are, one floor board has some chrome missing, some scratches in the paint on the front fender, the lock on the left bag is missing a part, some small pings in the paint on the gas flap, the white on the seat is faded, but the seat has no rips or tears in the leather, there is a crack in the windshield.( see pictures )

With some more polishing and cleaning this bike could be entered in your local bike show. It is 31 years old and in awesome shape for a Guzzi that old. It is also a prime candidate for a easy frame up restoration because all the stock parts are there.

LOW RESERVE, Local pick up any questions just ask

Ghezzi-Brian V-Twin Motard Kit for Moto Guzzi Griso Featuring Dynamic Damping Action Suspension

Tue, 19 Jun 2012

Moto Guzzi tuner Ghezzi-Brian unveiled a new motard based on the Moto Guzzi Griso. Available either as a whole motorcycle or as a ready-to-install kit for a Moto Guzzi Griso, the Ghezzi-Brian V-Twin Motard turns the Italian eagle brand’s roadster into a supermoto. The V-Twin Motard even fooled some of the motorcycle press into thinking it was a new Moto Guzzi Stelvio production model when a prototype was caught by spy photographers.

EICMA 2013: Moto Guzzi V7 Series Updates

Tue, 05 Nov 2013

Not to be left out of the 2013 EICMA show announcements, Moto Guzzi has announced its changes for the three models that make up the V7 line. Known for their 1970s-inspired style, the V7s are built, according to Moto Guzzi press materials, “to three fundamental pillars: the 90° transverse V-twin, the timeless double cradle frame and the renowned cardan shaft final drive.” Well, one of these pillars gets a functional update for 2014. The engine now utilizes a wet flywheel instead of the previous dry alternator.
