Cold Desert Rat

left came on the bike, stainless steel right came off 1100 sport as advertised, (hard chrome over) cast iron I don't have Kevin Cameron to ask, you guys will have to do. Maybe some of the racers or more technical among us will have an opinion. Will one keep the exhaust valve cooler by a significant degree? (degree, get it) I doubt the difference is significant but it's interesting. Thanks to the brain trust!

activpop, please put me on the list for a future group buy. thank you! cdr

docc, I knew someone would get it!

decide to go with the RAM single plate Ed machined these last year. it's a california flywheel fyi. it is still bolted together as I received it. the close up of the teeth looks way worse than in person but there you go I would call the condition good, it certainly isn't new. Ed considered it worthy. $275 US shipped to lower 48 let me know if you want more pics, etc thank you

decided to go with later Ballabio style fairing/instrument mount. this won't work. and I could not paint over the cf there is one small crack on the windscreen, there are no other major scuffs or scratches I bought it from Guzzi Tech, included is the mounting hardware. I haven't opened it, what's there is there. $400 US plus shipping. let me know if you want more pics, whatever thank you!

Argh! too late?

"I got a moto guzzi gt with keihins and the six speed I got a tab at jc whitney but I ain't got you." goes something like that anyway

The Grateful Dead aren't the best at what they do. They're the only ones who do what they do. Kinda how I feel about Moto Guzzi. Boomer musing of the day Carry on.

Spine frames are two piece and welded just aft of the front airbox mount. No big deal. Just something I was unaware of. Carry on.

The 20mm diameter by 20mm long rubber isolation mounts on the coils separated and the coils were bouncing around a lot. I assume everyone has already discussed this at some point. Replacements are on ebay, anazon, ec.

For Al who is waiting on gears. I spent my adult life in machine shops and around toolmakers. Mr. Caruso's gears are something to behold. The intersection of any two surfaces is properly and perfectly dressed. The workmanship is old school and what costs. I feel like all of us who have those gears have a little piece of Giuseppe in our bikes.

someone will ask: adjuster assy The numbers are insufficient to explain the appeal

Moto Guzzi chain assy

Caruso gears

That's my dopamine hit for the week They are on and (basically) adjusted. Should be fine. They are long on purpose. I will shorten as necessary when I fit them. Venhill USA has everything for the cablemaker in the shed. Buy extras of everything because trial and error is going to happen I hope everyone has a peaceful and blessed holiday. cdr

Eggzactly.

Yes it's a Ballabio triple tree. But the engraving is nicer than the foil sticker that was on the Scura triple tree. I mean, come on Guzzi. This bike is taking forever. Even a small victory, like getting this insignificant detail done, really cheers me up. My old boss had a saying for when everything was going smoothly. "Like a well-oiled symphony." I hope it is so for you. cdr

drool as old iron Jake used to say, that's sex on the prowl

Found this on ebay. In NZ of all places. Bought it, 12x18, $30 shipped. I wish they sold a larger size I have a big wall Who else thinks these were prettier than the V11? Minus the colostomy bag.

Thanks 80csx. Macrae does wonderful work. He's out of my league. A 24x36 print is in the $400 range. I would if I could And I saw no Guzzis in his catalog. If money were no object tho, the Lost Singapore Black Lightning would be on the way.

I'm looking for vintage (60s-70s) racing posters and V11 fine art photo pinups to decorate with. Like the low-res example. Sites like etsy are out. I refuse to join Ebay is also unsatisfactory. I would greatly appreciate any suggestions on where to look. Thanks in advance.
