I would check the nut on the gearbox carefully to see if it's split. If so, you could use a clamp or perhaps a sturdy zip tie to tighten it on the thread after assembly. If not, a few wraps of teflon tape should tighten the threads up enough to keep it in place.

Was gonna sell the BMW GSA, but I hate leaving the dog while touring and then, well

Yet they remain.

"It never needed any work and had things like self cancelling turn signals, hydraulically adjusted valves, and a big trunk to carry things. If the Guzzi is even close to as enjoyable I'll like it a lot." Ruht Roh, Rhaggy

One of the most beautiful things I've ever heard was some sort of loop frame Guzzi with a hotrod engine and Conti mufflers. Reno, NV circa 1980.

I got nothin'. AC/DC? Here's how I learned about Australia;

Funny, On a long ride I'll carry a pump and plug kit. I always have them in the car. But I don't always take them on short rides, and one day I'll pay the price.

Found the transmission cross bolt amongst the body parts. The pivot has 20mm x 1.0 thread x 28mm length, the stub being 17mm diameter x 21mm length. Hex head insert to turn. It's not impossible, given the state of affairs, that these pieces made their way into the box with the transmission itself; I'll have that in hand in a couple weeks.

Agreed, with the previous concerns noted if they come off they should just be made new. There are many fasteners on this thing that show their age, and those I replace will probably be replaced with stainless steel as a matter of appearances but also remove any question about serviceability. And yes, I know the different grades of stainless steels and their applications.

The PO is still out of town so I can't ask if he's found any additional bits- Taking inventory of what I need to acquire, at least the things I can identify before I need them. 1 pivot bolt and nut 1 long crossbolt for rear trans mount through the porkchops Easy enough to find at the breakers, but there are many different pivot bolts and not always identified adequately by the seller... What fits, who may know? it appears some differences may be nothing more than the tool used to turn the bolt, and the style of nut retaining it.

Is that the same tail piece as the green one posted above? Perhaps it's the angle of the photo that makes the green one look like a frog's butt? This one is so close but so much better.

That looks like a stunter's GSXR after too many wheelie loops. Nice tank, tho.
