    Replacement for dead Veglia speedometer

    I found this on ebay: ebay.com/itm/85mm-White-GPS-120MPH-Speedometer-Light-Odometer-Gauge-For-Car-Truck-Boat-12-24V/184333718415 Then, I fired up my trusty 3D CAD freeware program and designed a new cover for it, because the chrome Veglia cover did not fit. Sent my design to ATX 3D Printing...

    2000 Jackal Master Cylinder question

    Thanks very much, Todd. Like I said, it's only the brakes. >8]

    2000 Jackal Master Cylinder question

    I have managed to trash the banjo bolt threads on my original 16mm m/c (long story involving far too many handlebar swaps). I thought I could just swap the housing, so I bought one on eBay with a broken lever that looks like the correct one, black solid rectangular like mine. When I took it...

    Convert charging problems

    Thanks for the input, Steve. Yes, the stator and rotor are stock Bosch. Do you have any idea what the blue wire from the alternator should go to? They have is disconnected on both ends. The Convert wiring diagram shows that it comes from the center of the alternator and goes to a terminal on...

    Convert charging problems

    The PO had a lithium ion battery installed, along with an aftermarket rectifier/regulator device, and what looks like a new stator assembly. I'm not sure if they replaced the rotor. The installers did not bother to connect the charging indicator light for some reason known only to them. Now, I...

    SP1000 Broken shifter return spring

    I should have said the bike will only shift between 2nd and 3rd. It is not stuck in one gear, which is why it's likely that the only issue is the return spring. When does the little steel ball fall out? is it when you remove the output shaft nut or when you actually remove the cover? The ball...

    SP1000 Broken shifter return spring

    I have an '83 SP1000 on my lift with the frame crabbed. It is stuck in 2nd or 3rd gear, I am told by the owner (a buddy of mine) and we are guessing that this is caused by a broken shifter return spring. This bike rode and shifted really well last I was able to test ride it a few months back...

    Bon voyage and all that...

    Thanks you so very much for your efforts on behalf of all of us with the Guzzi disorder. So many of us (even me) have been exposed to MGD (Multiple Guzzi Disorder). Fare well, Signore Allison. We will miss you.

    G5 mufflers

    I had a pair of Emgo Dunstall Replica mufflers on the Convert I recently sold. They sounded great, not too loud, no packing to replace. Naturally, YMMV. >8] -Jack (in Bastrop, Tx)...

    Newbie with 2001 California jackal

    With 18k miles, your bike is not totally broken in yet. My 2000 Jackal gets better and better with every 10k miles I put on it. I'm at 43k now and it runs better than ever. Obviously, I think you should keep it. You could also look into MPH Cycles (16510 Park Row, Houston, 77084), as they are...

    I thought for sure that the oil would be black as coal, but it is still very clear. Strange.

    The horror...

    I'm working on an SP1000 that belongs to a friend of mine who tells me of a few odd symptoms as well as loss of power at freeway speed. He also tells me that he got stuck in traffic on a 100-degree day and left it idling while stopped for a couple of extended periods, like 20 or 30 minutes...

    Quick question for the Illuminati

    Thanks for the update, JZ. I finally got it off. The front of the timing cover (I think) was interfering with the pan removal. After the oil was drained, there was still at least 1/4" of dirty oil in the bottom of the pan. I guess you're supposed to drain it while on the side stand, rather...

    Quick question for the Illuminati

    Or maybe someone could post a picture of the installation instructions? Everybody's gotta have a dream, right?

    Quick question for the Illuminati

    There were two really trashed screw heads holding the pan on that I finally got out. Now that all of the bolts are out, how do I get the pan off? It moves around a little bit, but not nearly enough to see the hoses or fittings. ADVthanksANCE -Jack-

    Thanks very much, gents. I believe it is definitely the Bub model. I'll update this thread as soon as I get pictures of the inside. -Jack (in Bastrop, Tx)

    Quick question for the Illuminati

    I'm working on an '83 SP 1000 that belongs to buddy of mine. Todd, you remember when we were having lunch in Austin and the guy at the next table said he had a Guzzi on his used car lot? Well, this is it. The picture attached is the sump that was on it when purchased. Anybody what sump is...

    V50 Road speed in top gear?

    I haven't owned the '83 V50 II that I had since early 2011, but I'm pretty sure that 5000rpm at 50mph does not sound right, unless you were not in top gear. I think your calculations are about right, as I seem to remember seeing freeway speeds around 70mph at about 5000rpm. I really miss my...
