My mistake on the first post NOT a 30mm wrench...should be 25mm...( Tell myself DO NOT post after consuming mass quantities of Irish whiskey and Guinness)

outside of the round part is 30mm..25mm spanner..the thing doesn't require much torque seemed fine :-)

Sorry I've been away nut is 23mm x 1.0 thread...same as stem...19mm on the inside cheers

My guy couldn't find the "drawing" but sent me this..:-) I couldn't find my drawing, but as I remember it, the outside diameter is 30mm, 1.180", I added 10mm to the length, the thread size is 23mm X 1.0mm, the through hole where the wrench flats are is 19mm, .750", and the wrench flats are 25mm across.

I see the Forceps..Where's the Scalpel ...?? :-)

I'll ask my friend for a drawing, I just gave him the measurement's I wanted ...He probably has a nice drawing..he's that sort!

Nice clean work docc !!

I bought a Zumo 396LMT-S for mine, the screen is a good size for me and it does everything I need it to do..and only a power cord to deal with..I attached the power to the Key operated parking light source and then cut it about 18 inches from the end installed an AMP connector just behind the gauges and top triple so I could easily remove the whole set up when not in use. I Had a friend machine a new Billet Steering Stem nut with a 19mm open top and enough space to machine to get a 30 mm wrench on it to tighten. I found this Ram mount on the UK site " The Visor shop", I don't see them even listed anywhere in the USA...it took about 10 days to receive it. All went together very solid and I like it because it doesn't get in the way of the ignition and is right in the line of sight with the gauges

3000......:-)

There're like those front mounted fender mirrors on cars from the 60's.....:-)

After reading docc's original post on this I liked the idea he had and the way he did it so I went out and looked at the 30 fuse receptacle on my Greenie , even though it was still functioning it was indeed burnt and starting to disintegrate ..so looking to head off a future issue I followed docc's link for the aircraft breaker mod and ordered one up, and then try to copy his install ....fun little project and satisfying as well!!

Your 100% right on that docc...I had read Scuds complete Build thread weeks before I even knew the bike was available..In fact the same day I was on my way to buy a Lemans in the Bay Area someone in Carlsbad who I knew from Aprilia's told me Scuds Bike was available, I cancelled the other purchase and bought a plane ticket to San Diego with in 1 hour and I flew in the next morning with the cash..then left immediately and rode it 450 miles home with-out a hitch...ALL because I had read that build thread and felt like I already knew all I needed to know about the bike and its history...and I was right!! I still use Scuds thread for reference when working on the bike!!!!

FYI....This is a great place to rent a bike in Rome..Francesco the owner also has several drop off /pick- up locations around Italy so usually I fly into Rome..get a bike and ride up north to the Alps and later drop it in the North, or from Rome ride down south to Sicily and drop the bike there. He also gives tours all over Italy if you like..usually I just get a bike with a GPS and just take off on my own plan. I have found his prices extremely reasonable and he is very helpful by cell phone if you have any problems or questions while on the road..they have seveal packages you can see on their website..I'm not connected to them in any way other than have gotten great service there so just passing it on! Riccardo runs the Rome office"His claim to fame is being a Moto Guzzi rider and having been the President of the Italian Motorcyclist Coordination movement for 20 years. Riccardo will look after you when you reach our Rome office and solve any kind of issue you may have during your rental." http://www.cimt.it/aboutus.htm ciao!

$61 on e bay today..:-)

Not to be out of line with the seller I hope, but I don't see it on this update but I know yesterday it was on flea bay for $4,750..Nice bike, nice guy.

Great looking Motorcycle!

Yes its "my" bike ...lol...and she looks just as nice today as she did when Scud took the picture, with a funny yellow shock and spring he added later...Happy to say!

I recently picked up some of the same paint Scud mentioned and refreshed the Sump pan...matched well and turned out very satisfactory imo.

I'm really looking forward to coming out from California to the S'xteenth South'n Spine Raid..and meeting some of the inmates from around the country........I booked my hotel room and inside parking space this morning!! Hopefully by then a good part of this lockdown can be lifted..I'm itchin to ride....CHEERS!

There was a video around of my bike on You Tube ( not by me) ..but it in NO way does them justice to the way they actually sound in person..it was just start up and idle...and imho thy dont really sound good until you rev the bike a little then the come to life and sound wonderful...like many exhausts though it is very hard to capture the true sound on a smart phone. . cheers!

Yes thats my baby..She's resting peacefully in my shop with that beautiful exhaust system the original owner installed years ago.....:-)
