KINDOY2

Enjoying them Phil!

My wild guess is inner axel bearing...

I sent them 3-4 messages last week 1 hour after it was posted.....No response at all

I'm sorry for your traumatic experience, could take years of therapy to put that behind you - especially if you find yourself shopping for dew rags online. I read this today in a local SF forum... "My dad used to own a Buell, until one day when he accidentally left his garage open overnight. Now he owns three".

I hope you have better luck than I did, I ordered one from them 4 months ago..after a lot of drama it finally arrived last week and the Carbon looked nice but the indent where the eagle logo goes was totally off center and crooked..I told them I wanted my money back and returned it..that was about 10 days ago...I have not heard anything from tthem yet. Good luck to ya though..I bought several things from MDI for my Aprilia's in years past..and it was fine...but they were located in Georgia then, not San Diego.

Glad I'm not the Lone Ranger....

Welcome to the Forum Rich..I look forward to your participation! Hope you get many miles and hours of good riding with The Mandello..it was a pleasure talking with you!

It wont break ya docc...peace of mind that they are on the way is worth a couple bucks..NO?

Second that or even the Bose Mini sound II..I have one in my shop, I listen to Spotify on it all the time..Great selection and amazing sound from such a compact unit!

cheap and easy way imo...rent a sprayer from home depot...spray it all white inside to seal the wood, , make sure you have enough outlets, get a staple gun and put up some insulation, put white pegboard over all walls.., build a solid work bench, put up some shelves and put up some good lighting..install a small refrigerator for beer...and comfortable chair. Oh yeah..get a nice Moto Guzzi sign for the wall...:-)

I think 2 tanks is the most economic. for example, the Ducati's suffer the same problem..I spent $3,600 to have an aluminum tank made in Japan for my Ducati by" Beaters" Arguably the best quality there is ,A small family owned Company for over 100 years that formally made Samurai armour, The tank is awesome, a work of Art..., but a second stock tank would have been much cheaper..it depends if you want to be "one and done", or swap every winter, I plan on keeping the bike for the duration.

Yer slippen up docc..must be the covid precautions!

My friend in Rome does motorcycle rentals and tours all over Italy..he is a Guzziesti but He has a few of those Himalayans he rides and rents ..He was just telling me yesterday what a great little bike they are and how dependable they are, He says if I ride one for a day or two I'll " have to have one"..."Not for Serious off road he says but excellent for dirt roads etc..and if you go down one tooth in front they have some spirit".

Have you watched "Long Way Up" ? Ewan McGregors latest motorcycling documentary....It came out a couple months ago..Has some great footage of riding in Peru ....Happy Riding!!

Great!..Now I understand..Thanks Phil !

Sorry for my brain fade but.. Do you mean mark "it" (the stick ?) when its all the way in and with the oil level with the bottom of the plate or mark the stick when the end of it is level with the bottom of the roper plate?

I'm Starting down the road to pulling the motor on the Scura today..Going to strip the engine paint and fix the dreaded 02 bubbly engine/trans paint, Install a Ram clutch kit, and reseal the trans and do the Lucky Phil shift mods with Chucks shift lever......I did the wheel bearings, and Swing arm bearings last week...

Those wire haired pointers are a great looking dog!
