Scud Posted March 3, 2017 Author Share Posted March 3, 2017 Well Chuck, to each their own. I think I would have put black gaiters on the Aero Lario. But if you want some audacious... I put the side-stand on and wheeled this one out into the sun. ...and now that cylinder head paint doesn't look so good... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

docc Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 at least you are a domestic(ated?) hero having evacuated your daughter's room of Guzzi parts. I have boys, so they would be perfectly content to co-habitate with motorcycle parts! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 Well Chuck, to each their own. I think I would have put black gaiters on the Aero Lario. But..but..they were ON SALE, with FREE SHIPPING.. (Guzzi Content) and a better than expected color match. Grumble grumble.. great artists are never understood. ...and now that cylinder head paint doesn't look so good... I Shirley don't need to tell you that it's a slippery slope, man..? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scud Posted March 4, 2017 Author Share Posted March 4, 2017 The red is a surprisingly good match. That's hard to do. Especially with free shipping... And surely you jest. I live on the slippery slope. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gstallons Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 These bikes are meant to be personalized . Someone said , " the only reason these bikes come assembled is to make sure you get all the parts " . 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scud Posted March 19, 2017 Author Share Posted March 19, 2017 Engine cases all painted. That leaves the block, and maybe the heads (since the silver paint is bubble-peeling on fins). Interestingly, the upper sump ring had silver paint under the wrinkle paint. Must have been a re-paint at the factory. Twice the stripping fun for me...

Scud Posted March 26, 2017 Author Share Posted March 26, 2017 Popped the clutch in - with alternating original and stiffer springs. Lesson learned on my last clutch mis-adventure. Hopefully this one will be a one-shot deal. And I slipped on the slippery slope... engine stripping in process. The engine looks brand new inside. Gears and chain look great, heads are barely even discolored. Bore marks still visible in the cylinder walls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
