Baby Breva gets a fat(ter) ass.

February 21, 2010

By Flay:

New HB racks finally arrived for baby Breva. The units straight from Hepko Becker mount higher and further forward than the “stock” Breva 750 ones from Guzzi. Necessitated by the addition of Mistrals as the clearance just isn’t there (not that there was much with the stock pipes).

They’re also a inch or so further out and obscure one’s signals from being seen at side angles Undecided. I’ll go with reflective tape for now but am considering mounting signals and/or running lights further out. Likely on the bags at the outer edge. Anybody ever gone there? I’d hazard it would have to be something quickly detachable so removing the bags wouldn’t be a royal PITA. Velcro?

Fit was “OK”. The mount above the tail light has a bit of clearance (bolt too long?) and the usual variation between manufacturer’s made for some tight joins.
