The adaptor I made using an older style spark plug that I tapped to fit the guzzi threads.

Thanks!

Thanks for sharing your ride. We cant be everywhere, so thanks for the beautiful pics!

The cluster housing I made from 1/8 aluminum and mounted with stainless brackets that are much tidier that the stock pieces.
The lights are high output LEDs with stainless bezels.
The speedo id VDO A2C53408268-S from VDO Depot. It has turn indicators, high beam, and general warning light that I used for the generator.
It reads 0-120 which for me is perfect and has 60mph at TDC which is also perfect (well, 65 would be perfect.) I am using the V-three sender as seen in another pic. The pulse count is 12800 per mile for those who care.
The tach is VDO A2C53408405-S. It reads 0-8000, again dandy. It really is nice to have a gauge that uses 100% of the sweep. It works well with the signal from the stock wiring.
These gauges are supposed to be waterproof, fog proof, 100g shock proof, come with the bezels of your choice and smell like strawberries. We will see
.The cups are 90mm stainless camp mugs that I converted. So few good choices out there. But these are great!
I need to sort out my LED indicators when I get the chance. Kiwi Roy or as he is better known "Santa Electric"
has poured good advice into my empty head. I just need to act on it... after I ask again what it all means.

The stacks are from PJMotorsports@frontier.com
item# pjm-vs4 $29.95 each (they need to be lacquered or anodized but are a perfect fit)
The filters are K&N RA-050V (these offer maximum size with clearance all around.)
They are fit together by flattening the rolled edge of the velocity stack (mostly for looks) and drilling many 1/16 holes on the flat of the filter to create a mechanical bond for epoxy. They are simple slip fit as I chose to leave the filter neck on to have more bonding area and wanted an easy and positive fit. I know that there will be folks who will rightly poo-poo the underutilization of the flow of stack, to them I say "meh".(the inside diameter of the pod neck is still larger than the i.d. of the stack)
The sender is from S and S Classics and is a V-Three unit that has 3 wires 8 pulses and work with almost every electric speedo including VDO. It needed a thread bushing adaptor I had to make ( I couldn't find it anywhere) 7/8-mpt to M16-1.0 to mate to the Motoguzzi output. It also needed the drive key lengthened by 3mm which was done with a TIG and filed back to shape.

I crashed the bike into a deer and totaled it soon after completing the build. So sad! I have been riding a Ducati monster in the interim but am looking to get back onto a Guzzi. Hope all have been well and not hit any charismatic mega-fauna.
