...ring a mate...need a loaner (well he has 7 Guzzi's)...

I didn't know that there is 7 Guzzis in NZ, let alone with one guy in the South Island.

damn. sorry to hear that. when ya get a moment, elaborate some on the spring, if you don't mind. How long did that one last? Did you replace the arm with the new size boss? I've replaced both on my two bikes. Am I riding around with a false sense of security? I do carry a spare new spring, but that's only so it won't happen.

While you have the side plate off, why not look at Lucky Phil's improvements http://www.v11lemans.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=19547

 

This spring seems to have a short life. I see that you posted a question about this in 2014.

Can I have your old broken spring?

I'm going to try to make a different spring arrangement that will last longer. Maybe a pair of lighter springs, or an extra turn on a spring made of similar wire, or use better material.
