mille108

I bought it on a market in St Petersburg Russia..it even has CCCP written on the glass..i think its from an old Ural

A dyno run on Henk's dyno is excellent ,so we can compare a bit because mine was done there too. If im in Holland at the time of the Italday i will go there for sure..weather permitting off course. But looking at my schedule now i dont think i can make it.

Me like The exhaust also turned out well,nice deep sound and it looks really good. Are you going to set it up on a Dyno later?,im rather curious about the test results with the exhaust.

I have steepened the head angle by 2 degrees on a similar chassis and im riding hard without a steering damper... Dont repair it..just take it off It doesnt need it

Thanks The gas cap is a pop up one.. You push it in twist it and it pops out The gauge is this one.. Only the older type but the same functions MGL TP1

Nice but the angle of the exhausts is horrible... horrendous.. Please let somebody tell the owner to cut the pipes and shift them up and inward ...allot. Because the lines of the bike are totally ruined because of it..

The 125hp version wil already make you a poor man.. Im not sure but i think it wil be something in the region of 8000$ Camshafts Bigger valves headwork (porting ect) Connecting rods Bigbore cillinders forged pistons balancing Oilpump modification Powercommander or equivilant Exhaust system? manual labour inc usage of the workshop equipment (mill, lathe ect) ect ect It could even be more than 8000$ Its personal, but for me its not worth it.......i rather spend it on the chassis,wheels,forks,brakes,shock ect

Interesting stuff.. Paul do you have the timing diagram of the MGS cam compared to the A cam? (i think my 93 daytona engine has the A as stock) The bike runs out of puff above 8000rpm,and has plentyfull below so trade some bottom power for top end would be no problem.

Thanks, Im in south america now enjoying the sunshine. The bike is stored on a heated floor in my house... because blank aluminium and moisture dont go well together.. When im back in europe we wil start on the subframe and swingarm.. all the material i allready have so its only a matter of designing and building the d#mn things...

Nice weather so preparing the old girl for a ride

2 degrees on a 93 daytona

Its a swallower guzzi,search the net and you will find that they build some amazing guzzis for BOTT racing here in europe. 2 brothers from Holland made them and i was talking to one of the brothers a few weeks ago on a cafe racer meeting in Holland,while looking at my Daytona. He is the one building the unfinshed bike in the pics,it felt rather good that he was intersted in my bike and how we made and modified it with performance and handling in mind not just the looks.

Hmm fair enough...but i think that sludge is built up from carbon deposits wich are blown past the piston rings.. I can only imagine that BMW engines have better tollerances than guzzis and therefore less blowby.. Its intersting stuff because Saab turbo engines have similar problems with sludge building up in the sump,and with these engines the problem is the crank case vent system.

Well you lost me on number 1 and 2 i dont see how an airfilter and road quality can have a effect on sludge in the sump..

Paul can explain better than me obviously,but there is alot of information to be found on his website. fastguzzi

I changed my steering angle 2 degrees..cut it off..make a new bigger one(diameter needs to be bigger for modern forks/tripple tree) and weld it on.... All modern forks already have 30/35mm offset so no problem there.. i still have the ohlins laying around so let me know if ur interested. Swingarm is still the same,i dont feel the need to make it longer..i will make a aluminium one but thats only for the looks department. Long swingarms are usefull on 180+horsepower.... superbikes not on 100 horse guzzis, but thats my personal opinion.

To start with i used Aprilia RSV 2004 showa forks 730mm then Aprilia RSV 2005 Ohlins forks 730mm..now MV forks also 730mm..no problem. I dont even use a steering damper,it doesnt need it. And i ride it hard,kneedowns allover the place..look at my signature pic...on pic says more than a thousand words Its not the guzzi but you know what i mean..

Guzzi forks are 770mm..most other forks..ohlins, aprilia, MV...ect ect 730 No problem the bike needs that 40mm anyway.

Every technical discussion on this board(i dont even dare to look in any other topics on this board) turns out into some everlasting blah blah... Yes a guzzi is heavy, yes its slow, yes standard it handles like crap,no you cant turn it into a superbike,....but you can improve it alot,will set you back some $$ for sure but if u want..if you can..why not. If i wanted to go from A to B cheap..i would have bought a Prius. I wish everybody the best..im out of here.

Yes after many many moons,they cought me..it was a big event for the local police. Unmarked Police car..... 170km in a 80km zone... big fine.. almost lost my licence for a long long time.. So nowdays im looking more in my mirror than on the road...

Cut and welded on a new headstock(bigger diameter) 2 degrees steeper,because modern forks have a thicker tripple tree pin. wheelbase is now 1440..stock was 1480 MV Agusta 50mm Marzocchi front end has 30mm offset yokes, Huge differnce in handling, tips in much faster and doesnt run wide anymore comming out of the corners.

Some good words there Christian.. Lets not waste too much words on this caracter...
