Hello Guzzisti, we are getting real close to Rally -Thirty , and want to update all with some considerations and needs.
Weather is going to be damn near perfect , highs in the upper 70`s, slowly dropping to the low to mid 50`s overnight based on Santa Ysabel . There is a pool at the resort...
Using the 80 mm crank, alternator, and timing cover from your existing hydro motor will solve your charging issue. a crank mounted ignition will work out your timing or as Todd pointed out, contact him for injection and timing options... or run Mikuni hsr flat slides, 42 or 45mm depending on...
Alex, I made a series of offset bushings, drill press and lathe ( running two pins instead of one for added insurance against pin breakage, ( don't ask ) so I could use the standard pin diam. As mentioned, drilled out the existing pin hole in the alloy gear to accomodate the new larger...
Chris, I looked hard at a roller conversion, but backed out, both for modifying the block and making them work in the Guzzi block and then finding a company willing to build the cam to go with them. It got to be a pretty expensive looking experiment. Mike R was talking about wanting to do it...
Love the green Cafe V7 ! Good luck finding one, if you find two, call me ! The V7 Sport limeys hark from 71/72 ;) , themselves inspired by Moto Guzzi`s flat green grand prix racing dustbins of the mid 50`s.
The green oxide primers of that era were used to protect the magnesium and...
Those are nice numbers Strosek, Have you been able to dyno the engine yet ?
I have run mushrooms with cams at .450 lift ( 11.4 mm ) and have a cam that lifts to .500 (12.7 mm ) but havent run it yet as the mushrooms got too thin and were close to hitting the ceiling of the case. When the...
Meet at the Starbucks at Via Rancho Parkway exit (In the Shell gas station and MacDonalds stripmall ) west side of the I-15 in Escondido on Sunday, July 22nd. Kickstands up at 9am, Highland Valley, Old Julian Hwy etc to Julian for coffee etc then Mesa Grande and about and on to Bill and Mani...
Lemans 1 Al and I are starting up some local rides in San Diego County, quarterly to start, maybe monthly if the interest is there. Hope to see some old and new friends there!
All Moto Guzzi Ride Sunday May 20th.
Every Guzzi model and year welcome!
We will split into groups if needed.
Meet...
Thanks Pete,
I use a 20 spline rear drive now (Convert ) with a long shaft ( EV11 swingarm ) that is a 10 by 20. Is it the same 20 spline pattern ? I may make this a hard tail which is common on the salt. I was hoping to run the 18" non cush wheel that came on the early Daytonas and Sports...
If anybody out there can help, I dont know if this is possible, but can a V11 Sports series rear drive be adapted to a early 1100 sport rear swingarm ? okay with making mods, cutting welding etc, seriously exploring that gearing option for the next generation LSR bike that i`m working on. I...
Charlie Rice had a nasty get off on his 1000cc Guzzi at Bub, he`s home healing.
I talked with Tom Liberatore ( Pep Bros ) yesterday, His motor blew up pretty hard at the World of Speed event that is running right now. He was volunteering his time at the Bub event and didn`t run there. He`s...
Wrapping up some final details and mods to the Mandello Meteor, we leave next week for Bonneville. Going to run in the Fuel classes this year in the 1000cc pushrod class and maybe install a big bore kit and hunt some big hawgs in the 1350 class. Hopefully george and friends will be there too B)
The pipe stays hotter which helps maintain the speed and velocity of the exhaust gases improvint the scavenging effect. The JetHot treatment inside and out will do the same thing and the headers will last damn near forever. The performance gains are not that big, but if you are racing in a...
The Daytona pump is larger than the V11 series and probably overkill for your 750 motor, especially if you dont match port the case. The late model jackal sump is an improvement, or at the very least, there is a adapter availble that will let you use the later model oil filter, which itself...
Christian,
You will most likely talk with one of the sisters at WebCam, they have always been patient and polite with me. I did look at those 3m pushrods about 3 years ago a little, way out of my budget then, same with Mike Rich`s titaniums and other folks aluminum composite. The Crowers...
Christian,
i`m using Ford mushroom tappets that have been modified a bit. They are from a ford V8 and the original diameter has been cut down to .960 thou/inches. much larger and they may/will bang into a neighboring cam lobe. there`s not much consistancy in the average lobe thickness and...
