Guzzirider Posted October 18, 2005 Posted October 18, 2005 Is this PC? How to tell if you beer is cold enough. Obviously the drink on the left is the correct temperature for those who like it cold...
bigbikerrick Posted October 18, 2005 Posted October 18, 2005 Check out www.mgcycle.com They have a tail rack (Stucci) that is removeable. Tell Gordon I sent you and he'll give you the same discount he gave me. I bought a Hepco Becker bracket that allowed me to transfer the bags from my California to the LeMans. 63564[/snapback] Do you know how much the stucchi tail rack costs? Ive heard its the best one...

(Well OK, I'm kinda sure)
John in Leeds Posted October 18, 2005 Posted October 18, 2005 Helen has a Guzzi one on her V11 in silver- a lot lighter than mine but still seems to do the job: Its on the 3rd line down on this link: http://www.corsaitaliana.com/index.php?f=data_moto_guzzi&a=2 We have carried shedloads on these racks taking our camping gear etc. Guy The alloy Guzzi rack looks great and feels strong but rated at 3kgs (nowhere near enough). I have converted my Hepco and Becker 45 litre top box to fit the rack directly as the H&B steel adaptor is both heavy and ugly. I'm hoping to carry about 7k, will I have to add some additional support, some formed foam between rack and tailpiece? Any ideas please?
Zoom Zoom Posted October 18, 2005 Posted October 18, 2005 John, I would be cautious about depending on the tail piece supporting anything, even with formed foam on it. I have heard that piece is very expensive. Zoom Zoom, John Henry
Zoom Zoom Posted October 18, 2005 Posted October 18, 2005 Terry, I'm shocked. You didn't take me anywhere that they tested the temp of the beer like that before serving it when I was there earlier this month. All I got was a flying squirrel and a moose named Bullwinkle. Zoom Zoom, John Henry
gallo_se Posted October 19, 2005 Posted October 19, 2005 I'd say no problem to carry 7kg in a top case mounted on the original carrier. I did 1500km with 15kg in my top case, riding 140-150km/h in motorways, and the carrier is perfect. I carry 7kg (huge laptop plus backpack) in the topcase every day to go to work since one month and no problem at all. I have a givi V46 top case. Here is a picture.

If it does give problems please be kind enough to post a warning. BTW your pic shows a pannier set up, what is it and how does it look with the bags off? The Le mans looks pretty poor (to me) with pannier racks but I would like the option to use narrow panniers occasionally. Point taken Zoom Zoom but appears that the addition will not be needed regards John

gallo_se Posted October 20, 2005 Posted October 20, 2005 Panniers are the Moto Guzzi version of the tekno ones, the racks are pretty similar, and since the back of the bike is black you don't notice them really. I'll shoot a picture of the bike without panniers, anyway.
