HRC_V4

Very nice! Those look similar to the ones on my Verde, I do have the CSC long tube headers on the 2.5 in the GTV6, I ended up putting a 3.0 ECU in my GTV6, I need to remove the rev limiter on my ECU and spark box, kicks in way too soon. Maybe we should start a Busso V6 thread.... But all three Guzzi's!

Only the intercooler/intake, I missed out on a Callaway about 25 years ago, the friend who bought it is the same one I bought my 430 from. I have a Verde, I just installed a Mega Squirt system in it, a good upgrade over the GoTech system I used to have in it. Sort of a beater, but a very fun car.

That is one of the best colors for a GTV6, I used to see one that color in Stone Mountain, GA from time to time, we always waved in passing.

let me know if you need parts or special tools for the GTV6, I'm a parts whore.

Yes, here is the thread on it.

Finally finished the California II.

These are the small hole exhaust, also come in the large hole version.

LOL, no trike... I knew diff wasn't right, but yes, the bevelbox. Thanks, I'll let it ride this way a while and keep an eye on the level. Not sure the whole story of the bike, but originally from Switzerland, then was in NY for a while, but I got it from a little machine shop south of Morgantown, NC.

Finally got a few miscellaneous parts and got it back together. Took her out for a test ride and she did great, just a quick ride around the neighborhood. The new shocks are nice, my front wheel seems good with the new spokes, she shifts smoothly and rides nice. I'm going to need the OEM style seat, this one has me a little too far forward. I changed the diff fluid, it was low, which probably explains the gear oil in the driveshaft housing. Any thoughts on what would cause that? I see a couple of orings in the parts diagram. Waiting on a new clutch cable, this one is adjusted all the way out. I'll post some good fall pictures in the coming months.

Parts came in yesterday, so back on the project. It took some effort to split the clutch discs from the intermediate plate, but they look really good, so spare parts. Installed the new clutch, new throttle cables, transmission seals, rear main seal, float valve, breather hoses, air filter, etc. The swingarm and the center stand were PITA, but they are on now. Hopefully more work tomorrow.

The two clutch discs are stuck to the intermediate plate. I have not tried to separate them, but a fair amount of rust. I'm sure it will all clean up.

Does anyone have instructions on the swingarm install? I measured mine before I took it off, they were not equal side to side, which I thought was the way to do it, but with the missing seal, someone might have been in here before.

Looks like I am missing the output shaft seal....

The California II has been crabbed! Not a bad job, it is giving me a reason to address a few things, I'm going to go ahead and replace the throttle cables, clean up some surface rust, deep clean a few hard to get places. I have the clutch upgrade kit on the way, the clutch job transmission seal kit, rear main engine seal and a couple of other things.
