Moto Guzzi California Vintage

My completely overhauled California Vintage from 2006.
I was the second owner and owned this classic Guzzi from 2018-2021.
Visible upgrades:
- Steering damper from later models
- Southco E6-10-430-50 pannier hinges with constant friction
- HD wind deflectors 58121-85B
- JUTE 9716 ECE fog beam reflectors
- Taillight painted in glossy black
- Windshield from later models with an extension similar to a Laminar LIP

[@janguzzi]

Thanks a lot!

[@turiddomazzanti3134]

La vedo solo ora. Meravigliosa. Venduta?

[@janguzzi]

Not sure what you want to tell me... ;-) ... sold? Yes, not enough spare time for two motorcycles.

[@richardbarton2709]

Has this bike got hydraulic valves.

[@janguzzi]

Nope

[@joefazio4995]

Why did you have to overhaul it? It looks like it only has a couple thousand miles on it?

[@janguzzi]

A couple of ten thousands: Necessary If you want your bike look and perform like new or even better. The built quality of MGs from that period was far from perfect.

[@joefazio4995]

@@janguzzi So the odometer went around once or it was changed out at very high mileage? I put 50K+ on a '99 Bassa, 12K+ on a Breva and have owned two 25K+ Cal Vintages and never even did a clutch much less a full rebuild.

[@janguzzi]

Hallo Joe, the 1st odometer was defective after approx. 40.000 Km. Had to buy a new one. kzbin.info/www/bejne/foPJZX13hJV1adE
