Sound like your extra careful. Good on you.

From Mark. It was low on gear lube. If you use the side drain hole to find the level and if you use a funnel to fill which drains toward that side of the rear drive it can flow down the threads and pour out the side hole before it's really up to that level. always fill with measured amount and don't even take the side plug out.

Meh... the turn up mufflers on the silver one are ugly.

Email him at, Still have it. witttom@yahoo.com (three T's in w-i-t-t-t-o-m)

I have, I'll see if I can reach him again and get you some contact info.

Would a top triple clamp from a Centauro be the same? I have one you can have if it fits.

Sellers name is Tom Witt.. I sent a message so wait and see if I get a reply. I can't buy it unless he can deliver from Ohio to Mpls.

Fork legs look stock to me. Price about right for the mileage.

Bubbling engine paint. Shift return spring.

Thankyou Roy for confirming my belief in Vaseline! And for explaining how once I had battery terminal that "looked" perfectly fine but didn't conduct, probably was that nasty oxide.

I'd still clean the grounds first. And the battery terminals, once I swore they looked perfectly clean but after scuffing up the contact points all was good again.

Pass on the dialectic, you already know why. Dielectric grease, or tune-up grease, is a silicone-based grease that repels moisture and protects electrical connections against corrosion. ... The grease does not conduct electricity, so it shouldn't be applied directly to the mating surfaces (pins and sockets) of an electrical connection

I would start with a little sand paper on all the ground connections. Especially the battery to frame ground mentioned above. And I'd clean and sand paper the battery terminals too then coat with Vaseline.

That happens to BMW's

Viva Rossi, GOAT!

Griffon, he's a nice boy, Bolt.. not as smart as my lab Pink tho. RIP

Ahmm

Interesting.. can't hardly beat aluminum and steel.

If the threads were to strip out it won't be the SS bolt, you'll be repairing the engine block or what ever the bolt screwed into. I used to think they were cool. As to the turning out the Allen head, do you have good hex wrenches? some (craftsman) are just slightly too small for a snug fit. Do you use anti seize? I rarely ever had a problem with Allen heads unless they were in there for 20 or 30 years on some old clapped out Tonti frame.

A friend of mine had a TT, didn't look all that special but it sure sounded nice.

The most used wrenches on a Guzzi are 10, 13, 17 & 19mm and one 11mm I think. I don't remember any 15,16 or 18mm

Ha, you pulling my leg? That's a screen shot so there is no more.
