I would like to find out before I decide anything. I got my assortment from Fastenal and I was not excited about the size of the washer.

If you get these in Europe you might be happier w/them. The ones I purchased here are narrow and I don't like the looks of as much as what comes off the bike . Get plenty . 6 , 8 and 10mm sizes . You will find them coming in handy .

What I have seen about Guzzi bikes . Everything on them AFA fasteners , cotter pins , anything is first class product. No flimsy junk like you find at parts stores.

That is a Schnorr washer , you can get it through a local fastener store if you don't want to spend the $$ on UPS or FedEx charges.... what ever you want to do . I may have some in my stuff. Finding them will be a little chore

It is probably a Schnorr or a high collar lock washer.

Wha are the part #s of the washers ?

Don't get too hairy , this stuff may have been missing when they worked on it.

Mmmmm. your auditor came in while you were looking at motorcycle porn ? Get it runnin' first !

That was a diversity of bikes .

Mmmm. this is why I do what I can do myself . I am 68 yrs old and I learn new stuff daily . I do not trust anyone else unless I am watching . BTW , what part # washers are you missing ?

Are you using the Harper's parts catalog to make sure everything is there ?

Whew , I assume these people were "as green as a gourd" that took the test? IDK why but you have it or you don't .

Washers ? on the rear axle ? You need a parts diagram to see what is missing ?

I hope you got a good deal and will enjoy going back together w/it

Any time a musician can sit on a stool w/an acoustic guitar and perform solo , he has somethin' to say. Ahem , now I know why he sounds like a young Willie Nelson when he sings "Crazy" .

It must be a hard place to live where every club you walk into has a real musician playin' real music all day long and all night long ! This boy did a good job on Before You 'Cuse Me . I really thought I was hearing a young Wille singing Crazy . I will have to listen to the rest and finish my comments .

Now , did you say , you do have all the transmission and case(s) ? Also , what all is missing and I hope you have a title ?

OOOOOK

What are you doing to this ?

I guess there are worse things than a Largemouth Bass coming off the hook just about the time you go to pull it out of the water and into the boat ! Also if you say M@*%&#%&*^$r and nobody hears you , did you make a sound ?

Did Harper's give you any idea on ETA ? You know you have a crosswind as easy as those tractor/trailers went over !

That is why I waited to advise about doing anything until now .

A small amount of wear will make a large difference . You are improving the clearance only the distance you are moving the lever on the shaft. Trust me , the only repair you can make (for now) that I would trust is to drill through the lever/shift shaft and install the double roll pin . You want to do this in a drill press to make absolutely sure you have a perfect hole the correct diameter and the hole is true. If the shift shaft is 16mm or 5/8 diameter you can use a 1/4 roll pin and you will not hurt the integrity of these parts. p.s. You will want to drill this hole parallel to the pinch bolt .
