Hi All - There seems to be a few guzzi owners on this site also. I 've bought a Guzzi wire spoked front wheel to use in my Ceriani 38mm forks - I can machine back the original disc carrier mounting to accept discs with no more than 17mm offset - that is offset to inside of disc. The laverda off set is about 21mm (27mm inc disc).
  My question is - are there any Guzzi dics that are 280mm diameter and have an offset no more than 17mm - or does the 300mm disc have this lesser offset? I would rather make a couple of caliper mounts than a pair of disc mounting centres. - Thanks - Phil

Phil,

I'm not aware of any 280mm discs. I am really only familiar with Tonti models from late 70's to early 90's though.

All the big block fronts I know were 300mm and rears 240ish. Small blocks had 260mm fronts. They all had significant offset too. Some were one piece and some were 2. The Lemans being the 2.

I have an 88 Cali III that uses 300mm semi floaters that are flat on the front. No offset at all but they are a 5 bolt pattern not 6 onto an Akront spoked wheel. The rear is a no offset semi floater, 270mm but again a 5 bolt pattern.

Sorry I can't be more help. Maybe something like the Nevadas or the new V7Clones. I don't know what they have but they are spoked.

Hi, Phil.

Like Rod already said, no 280s on Guzzis.
Try Ducati Bevels, there have been 4-hole and 6-hole 280s.
Too much offset, see https://store.bevelheaven.com/rotors/
But as they are 2-piece discs, maybe you can get disc brake
holders that fit from somewhere else?

Phil,

The heavy one-piece 300mm items from a California 850 are a straight swap for the Laverda discs.  Used them for quite some time when I was very low on cash and couldn't afford new stuff, were left-overs from a friends' custom build... was very happy to finally replace them with something lighter!
