  1. I might have the parts from an EV brake system that i would give you if you need more parts.
  2. oodle ads are bogus.
  3. He says he's Great! and made it to Cameroon.. I was in suspense for 3 days that he didn't get any internet but I think it will be better from now on.. He was in Manzini but with a church group so probably not any fancy hotels, more like a hostle, He mentioned how good a hot shower felt when they left..
  4. He is there now.. Manzini Swaziland, nice hotels but no internet since the airport. He was thinking internet would be available and could keep up with his clients and finish jobs from Swaziland, LOL.. I got dumped on with a major 20k project that needs to be finished Feb 1st, the day he may emerge back to the web world. Hope he gets web at Doala on Feb 2. so I can assure him everything got delivered fine. last time we emailed, he was a nervous wreck, and wanted to fly home imediately to finish the job..I told him breath deep and let me take over here. I've spent the last 2 days editing this project and will be taking a week of vacation to nurse it to the end.. I expect 1/2 of the fee.. maybe enough for a used griso! but then there is the new carpet and some shoes my wife wants.. I've seen a good used KLR for under 2k maybe that and the carpet? meanwhile as a Dad I can't help worrying about a 25 yo kid travelling around Africa with thousands of $ in gear by himself... wish it was me!
  5. Thankyou for a great response! I think we ave all papers in oreder.. He leaves on Friday.
  6. no Roper plate? talk him down below 5k? who pays for an oil analysis? give the old man his asking price!
  7. not me, My son Rob (25) has a video job in Swaziland and then will be going to Cameroon to visit best friend who's in the Peace Corp there. leaving Mpls in a week and a half. He will be videoing a church group building a High School in the poorest country in the world, wanna depressing story? google Swaziland.. I will be sure he has a medical evac plan, have heard MEDX really performs, experience? He has several top of the line Canon camera's and lenses plus a new Macbook pro (that is super fast! with the 2nd SSD I installed in the optical bay) it's probably $20k worth of kit.. I'm trying to get him to go simple with gear he can give away when done, but that isn't going over well. I'm researching details about the gear mostly and have heard a lot of horror stories.. like customs lets you bring in gear but won't release it unless you have all kinds of documents, likely you don't know which ones ahead of time. anyone have experience w/customs and equipment? Also what is the best way to get his media home in the case of equipment seizure? mail it home, have the church member carry a second copy?
  8. surely it's an 02.. nothing to be afraid of really but why would you list a sale and leave town? pretty sure the real 03's had black face instruments.. I'm glad my 02 has the Veglia stuff, they still work. the engine paint? it's kinda like Italian patina? I don't see it when riding.. never had the shift spring problem but I carry the fix under the seat. that one looks really nice accept for those ugly stock cans.
  9. the Bassa and other EV type use smaller TB's they won't work for you.
  10. get parts book here, http://thisoldtractor.com/gtbender/moto_guzzi_misc.htm#gtb_spare_parts_catalogs___exploded_parts_diagrams___parts_fiche #21 in pic? part # 907060 94
  11. made for the Cali's but Harpers has a pretty cool all in one unit speedo/tach, http://www.harpermoto.com/new-performance-speed-tach-with-indicators.html
  12. my stock mufflers were purpleish like that too.. they look really good in a drawer out in my garage. I got Mistral reverse cone from MGcycle.
  13. I think you should, I think you should, I know you should. what color?
  14. I'd be in for $20 US.. or if you need a guy to order and send them to Belarus I will do it..
  15. relief bennefit for Hurricane Sandy victims.. Pink Floyd (with Eddie Vetter) was opening act, outstanding!
  16. First thing I'd do is get a Mistral crossover. It cured the hickup/cough mine had around 3200 rpm. also make sure the valves are not too tight.
  17. I thought molex connectors went out in the 80's.. I know the T's, G5's and Verts had molex everywhere.
  18. that tells me bad connection somewhere and the first place I would look is the regulator ground. since you have a new reg you may never know.. be sure it has clean ground to block and battery ground wire is clean on BOTH ends.
  19. have you done a baseline TPS set up? that is setting the value with the throttle screws all the way out? I get about 42mpg now.
  20. these bikes need good positive voltage to run right. the huge voltage drop can be the reason bike runs bad.. fix it and all the other stuff might fall right in line and work fine.
  21. have a known good battery before you do anything else.
  22. get manuals here, http://thisoldtractor.com/gtbender/moto_guzzi_misc.htm#gtb_workshop_manuals___shop_manuals___service_manuals
  23. A friend with a Jackal had a poor fuel delivery problem.. we found this pinched hose. http://postimage.org/image/jdgawkjij/
  24. the fuel filter is one way, could be put in backwards?
  25. regulators have been known to crap out if not grounded well.. the stock set up uses the mounting bolts in captured nuts for ground, bad idea. but have you checked to make sure everything is plugged in? like the wires under tank, left front. there are some bullet connectors there that can pull apart. on a Tonti bike of mine once the red wire from reg came unplugged and the battery didn't charge, reg was OK>
