Yes RMS made 2-1 pipes for 500s. My 478 came with one, and a 350 one DEFINITELY wont fit as the engine's taller

Re: Shop full of Spares. Stock from closed dealer in Barcelona

Hi Chris,
Ive got several Morini 260mm Grimeca discs here in the UK. They will weigh a ton to post though.

Pantah/Guzzi Brembo discs have a deeper dish.

I can send photos/get you a quote if you are stuck. I post books to OZ all the time

Re: Front fork leg’s alternatives?

Ive got Pantah fork legs etc amongst my spares.

Be advised though, that the Ducati/Guzzi Brembo P5 caliper mounting bolt spacing is not quite the same as the Morini Grimeca

Re: Tarozzi brake arm repair/replace
