A Moto Guzzi will give me clout w/my friends: NO H/Ds do that. c. A Moto Guzzi will make me a better mechanic , DC electrician , wiring diagram reader , understand mechanical theory and troubleshooter: It had better. , or you have wasted your time. d. YOU will become a part of a group of people you can contact 7-24 with a problem and get an ANSWER . e. Can I ever get my money back on these money pits ? NO

The seller knows what they have or they don't know what they have .... 9k is a pretty big #.

i don't know where all the members live concerning this Hurricane Helene / Tropical Storm / one helluva rain storm / bad weather. i hope / pray everyone w/ family & close friends in the pathway of this are safe and doing well. Please post about their conditions, etc. so we can be aware and hopefully relieved for them

I wouldn't exactly put it in the category "grocery getter" .

Do you have access to a parts manual to tell you what will or will not fit ?

It looks like they were trying to correct something . And it wasn't working.

Let me expand on this story. The previous owner had handlebars installed on the bike w/all the mods necessary to go from clip-ons to M-X bars . I must inform you , this guy was an "artist" and not a mechanic . It took s lot to remove his personalized ideas back to a normal bike. He must've had a hose shop do the extended brake hose because it looked neat . To go back to normal length , I had a buddy of mine make a proper length hose that would go back in place of the longer one from the brake m/cyl. to the tee at the front fender. If Walterg wants a longer hose , you will be better off having a shop make you a hose assy. where you can do this w/o any messy mods. There is a reason in a tee type hose assy. I just can't remember why? It has to do w/the hydraulic aspect of things. Plus it would look "not good" to have two hoses running to both wheels. REMEMBER to use D.O.T.4 fluid . If you use 3 you will experience brake fade when you try to keep up w/your Tn friends !

My red frame had the lengthened hose and it was an assembled hose with a tee at the front fender. I just went to the radiator shop that makes SS hose assys. and he made me a shortened hose . I went from bars to clip-ons .

You're welcome

If you can't stand the price of the LED filled fuses . Purchase Littlefuse , Bussman or a good known brand . There is an ATC and ATO style . ATC is Closed and ATO is Open to where you can probe w/a test light.

IDK what years the seat split but I don't think they all interchange ?

I didn't see the fuse . It was fractured , not blown . I saw this about 30 yrs ago on a F-150 w/no horn or turn signals or something ? Pulling it out of the holder and it looked good. Holding it up to the sunlight and you could see it broken off to one side . Good lessons are ones you NEVER forget !

What condition is the rear tire ? You might want to inspect them REAL good and install both .

I never knew about Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac until about 10 yrs ago. Whew , what they were vs what they became . I will never understand . Homogenized , pasteurized, sanitized and commercialized .

Everything I post is from memory. I merely said IDK enough to explain them . I know what DIN stands for . It is German and it is similar to our JIC ( Joint Industry Council) and SAE (Society of American Engineers ) . I am not familiar enough to recognize & explain the fittings. Also , Loctite "purple" would have told me all I needed to know.

If the fittings were loose , this should TCB . Where did you apply this Loctite "stuff" ?

At least 3 gears ? You did have 6 before ? Remove the sensor/switch and look down into the bore to see if the switch contact is in the center of the bore . If so the problem is the switch . Take and clean it with contact cleaner and I mean clean and reinstall. If not , you know what you have to do !

Musicians at that time migrated from one group to the next as a part of life . There was no future only today and maybe , tomorrow. Musicians got together and jammed until they were done and played with someone else !

You "probably" did . AN (Army Navy) was developed during WWII for the military and stayed with them. JIC (Joint Industry Council) uses the same stuff for civilian use . IT is interchangeable. O-ring face seal or flat face o-ring is on a LOT of hydraulic fittings now because of assembly speed. I don't care for this too much. DIN is a European hose connection . IDK enough about DIN fittings to explain them.

I can tell you now . They aren't AN / JIC fittings . AN and JIC are the same. I think this is a DIN 24 or DIN 60 . I THINK some of these have o-rings and some don't . You can remove this assy and see if it has an o-ring in the hose or not. Very important ! When you break this loose , hold the fitting tight that goes into the head . 14mm or 9/16 wrenches . When you break this loose , hold the hose with a pair of channel/lock pliers or needle nose vise grip pliers to keep the hose from unwinding with the nut. W/that being said , IDK if a hydraulics shop can match you up w/the correct o-ring or not. If so , get new crush washers , o-rings and go back together . If not , get the hose assy. mentioned earlier.

Definitely speaking for myself : AFA the driveshaft integration , everything looks the same until you lay things down next to each other. Reverse trike . 2 wheels in front & ! in the rear ? Doing a trike / you need to discuss this with someone has done this before . I don't know anyone on this forum that has done this before , they will have to come forward and offer help or advice . There is a place nearby in Murray ,Ky...www.hannigantrikes.com and they started out w/BMW trike conversions and now will do (most) all conversions. You can see what they are up to.

That is BAD . You should be able to pick up those parts from eBay in Europe very reasonable in price . AFA the hard starting , keep non-ethanol fuel in your bike and ride it as much as possible .

looks pretty good !

Not to be a smart a$$ but what's under the tank ? There is a wiring harness connector.
