  1. Joel has a lathe with a plastic "face" in the chuck that holds the lens/bezel while he uses a ball bearing in the tool holder to "roll" the bezel tight.  The tailstock holds the speedo or tach against the face.

  2. If this were my tach, I'd give Joel Levine a call.

     

    But then, he's only a 45 minute ride from me.

     

    <edit> Oh, and my Greenie tach shows ~400 rpm with the engine not running.  It seems to be accurate, otherwise.

  3. When I started building my tool set, Craftsman was of adequate quality and very good availability.  I found over the last 20 years or so that their quality dropped to roughly the level of HF and, since Sears started closing their stores, they are hard to find, too.

    I started using Snap-On when a friend demonstrated the difference in how the sockets from Snap-On and Craftsman fit a bolt or nut.   I probably rounded-off countless nuts & bolts due to the loose fit of my Craftsman sockets.

    Indeed - the Mistrals (purchased through dealer in 2001) did come with "off-road only" plates ... so I had some same size replacements made with "Moto Guzzi V11 Sport" and used original rivet holes to secure - so they still looked "factory" (sorry Phil ...)

    My V11 apparently has the same round Mistral carbon mufflers, but lacking the "off-road only" plates.  Do you still have a source for a set of replacement plates I can use to cover the rivet holes in my mufflers?
