One problem is that there are only a few bikes out there, even less that would spend substantial money on a headlight upgrade. To do a proper job and make it...
I just can't leave things alone, so I had to clean up the rear end. Bobbed the license plate holder and added new signals that are smaller but brighter. A pic...
I just posted photos of my Accerbis handguard instalation. These are the basic "red" color. They also make a "CR red". Here are the basic steps. 1)Drill bar...
Based upon the info I found here, I checked my three-prong connector under the rear rack and sure enough it was burned out. I was unable to find a replacement...
Decided to go with Metzeler Laser highway tires after getting a 30 minute lecture from a good friend who did 1,000 miles/day on a U.S./Mexico crazy tour last...
Probably 75% + of the electrical problems we see on bikes are the connectors. Hard wiring (soldering) troublesome places is the hot setup. If you plan on ...
You're right, I hard wired past the rear connector (fried-see photos) to the regulator. I'm thinking of doing the same on the one located near the battery. ...
I just spent a couple of hours cutting out the one by the tank and hardwiring it. Just a bit on insurance. ... I'm thinking of doing the same on the one...
... hardwiring it. Just a bit ... Well I checked the front connector (LHS in front of the battery box) and it was begining to show signs of failure (darkened...
I put a picture of mine too. I use new steer-ends (made by EVA motor from stainless steel) and saw off the end knobs of the brake and clutch handle. With...
Hey all; What is the collective opinion of the longevity of the 2v Ducati engines. I am looking at a E900 that has over 57,000km, but looks to be very well ...
I have heard of several people with over 60K miles on their Ducati Monsters and a couple with over 80k miles. Since it is the same basic motor, I would think...
Its a difficult question to answer. One reason why is that 2V belt drive Ducati engines are easy to work on and very rebuildable, unlike most bike engines...
Something else that was discussed here some time ago, is that our GCs have lower bhp than some of the other 2v Ducati motors, and the thinking was, less stress...
Took my GC out with a group of riders this past Sunday. Pretty fast sporty stuff followed by a dirt road and creek crossing. Everybody wanted to follow me...
I just ordered a KTM fork seals/bushings kit (listed in the conversions file) for my leaky GC. Neither the dealer nor I knew whether this kit has bushings and...
Hey All, Broke my speedometer cable the other day. Does anyone know if there's a crossover part number or an identical unit on a more common motorcycle? I'd...
Well folks, I thought about doing it last fall and decided against it, but once again this spring since riding season is upon us, that bug to buy something new...
... I'm not sure if this is an official part number, but the receipt for my replacement speedo cable (regular OEM Cagiva) shows "8D0068027". Cost was only...
Good luck with selling your bike. Nice bike in Italian colours!. Do you stop moderating this Group too? You are the only one moderator. Who will moderate this...
When I bought the seals they were $25 ea. 1 seal per pkg. I inspected the bushings and were fine so I didn't replace those. Its been over a year and have not...
Thanks Josh and Javier! I'll be looking into both. I'm a bit worried about ordering the Cagiva part as it seems ALL parts for our beloved Gran Canyon are hard...
Listers, So I took the gas tank off my GC last night just to check out all of the connections, air filter etc. This is the first time I have removed it. Damn...
Has anyone got a seat for a GC that they want to sell? Cosmetics are not important as I want to experiment with making my own seat so I am most interested in...
it's italian, you kind of have to have ALOT of patience and finesse. When working on anything automotive I look at where it's from. In my experience different...
