ScuRoo Posted June 15, 2011 Posted June 15, 2011 Sorry to see your wounded goose BFG - dunno 'bout your thoughts but that line looks suspiciously like a crack. If it looks like a crack & is exactly where it took the hit, just how coincidental that it's merely a casting flaw would that be? Nah, it'll be a crack for sure I reckon! Winged but not down, hey?
Skeeve Posted July 7, 2011 Posted July 7, 2011 The big vulnerable sticky out bits are Guzzi's characteristic feature... So I have enquired about crash protection, with no solution. It's easy to get aftermarket crash bungs etc for most 'common' bikes and there are bits of protectors for many of the Guzzis, but no one (from my enquiries) seems to make provision for the Griso. Sorry to read about more of your misfortune w/ this bike, BFG! WRT protective bits, maybe the Stelvio parts would fit? I'm not certain how different the Quotard models frames are, but it may be worth looking into. Maybe you could find someone w/ a Stelvio that popped for the protective parts who can get together w/ you for a weekend of parts swapping to see if they'll fit so you can find out if they'll xfer or not? Best o' luck!

Best o' luck! There are crash bars available for the Griso. Dan has them on his SE in Florida. They don't even look too bad. I'm considering a set. Pete

gstallons Posted July 7, 2011 Posted July 7, 2011 You need to see Katy Perry's "Katy's Kisses" bra on the cover of Rolling Stone. I've eaten 3 covers already !
