  1. I've even thought about rounding out the head and the jugs. I wouldn't know where to begin with that though. I guess it wouldn't hurt to ask my local maching shop.

     

    Thanks for the link. That's definitely shoved me in that direction.

     

    I'm not knowledgeable about CNC, but is it possible that the fellow who did the rounded square heads in the photos could email you the CNC instruction file that would instruct the milling machine after it had been clamped into place with the correct cutting tools in place?

  2. heh frankdugo,

     

    The gage is a combination tach / speedo from Moto Spezial in Germany. You can get the large scale as the tach or speedo and vice versa. They were on sale for 290 Euro.

    Browse their catalog, wonderful special parts.

     

     

    cfmaw, what brand tach have you got there? electronic is it not? one of those itt's?

     

    Thanks for the tip-'o-the-hat felix42o

     

    It's been (and continues to be) a schwack of work and I would rather not think how much $. But what the hell, right? So I could have bought a restored 1975 MV America for the same money, so what?

     

    Gotten a lot of bits and misc. pieces from Aircraft Spruce in Calif. They have all manner of fabrication stuff for home built airplanes that comes in handy for home built motorcycles too:

    The hydraulic fittings and line comes from Russell and Earls. I order from JEGS:

    The black anodized fittings are a nice detail touch.

     

    took a long time to fine a "gang" relay block (for master power, starter, horn (139db Stebel), and spare:

    Will be using an elektronik-sachse.de ignition w/ dual plugs:

    Will be equipped with Valentine 1 radar detector and Blinder M25 laser jammer & helmet heads-up display.

     

    Plan was to use a 280 watt Saprisa alternator, but now figure I need to do a load tally and see if it's going to be able to keep up. May have to go to this rig:

    Then there's the JE pistons, Nikasil barrel plating, Mike Rich head work / porting, crank balancing, finding a V11 Sport clutch - flywheel, Yoyodyne floating ft. rotors, 40mm dellortos, dyno tweaking, Oberon turn signals, etc, etc, etc ..................................

     

    Like I said about the 75 MV ........................... Big-Ass fun building this thing though. Target completion is next spring.

     

    Curtis Harper ordered me up a Tenni fairing piece (in stock w/ MGNA) that was $60 & will be a way to match the color w/ Imron via local paint shop. Might be able to get a PPG code at the same time. Can post the code(s) after I get it done.

    Looks like aviation-grade circuit breakers and hyd lines, as well... ;) Nice job; looks great.
  3. Aside from the cost if it was just a regular shipment, being paint it's considered dangerous goods so can't be shipped except by special rate $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

     

    Maybe it's time to order some paint from someplace outside the U.S. that carries Lechler? You state that Lechler isn't carried in N. Am.; I'm assuming you've already checked Canada & Mexico for suppliers then? I'm guessing that the U.K. would be the lowest-cost shipper to the U.S., and that shipping will actually eat more $$ (or pounds, euros, what have you) than the actual cost of product...

     

    Anyone in the EU (or anywhere else in the world for that matter!) repainting/repairing their Tenni who already has some of the correct product who can paint a patch of paper & post it to our friend here? Like he said, once he has the sample, he can get it scanned for matching by his local gunpowder salesm^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H er, DuPont rep... ;)

  4. AS per the begining post in this thread, I had no luck with the paint codes at auto paint suppliers - Lechler is not sold in N America & the BASF # is about 4 numbers longer than the usual BASF code. This is why I'm resorting to scrounging a piece of wrecked fairing.

    Search is your friend...

  5. My "Frankin-Guzzi" project is to be painted Tenni Green, but having no luck with the paint codes on the forum here. Plan 'B' is to hopefully find a piece of fairing from a wreck to acquire and get matched in PPG or (better) Imron via a local auto paint shop.

     

     

    Thanks in advance ...................

     

     

    Here's the rig:

  6. The dealer here only knows the Guzzi P/N for the paint. The Lechler code was not known at all by either of the big auto body / paint shops here in Vancouver or by BASF N America for a cross-reference. So where did the BASF code that's in this thread come from? Like I mentioned above, BASF N America tells me it's got too many numbers for one of their codes.

    In this thread Giovanni reported the Lechler code (GUZDS08047) but maybe you already knew that. With some luck the dealer can cross reference.
  7. I've got a project that's getting to the point that I need to be thinking about paint. Pretty much decided on "Tenni" green, so went looking on this forum for a paint code. I found the BASF # below (Lechler is apparently not available in N America). I took the number to the local BASF distributor, but he could make nothing of the number. He called up BASF N America and they tell him it's not a good number.

     

    Anybody have any details on this? I plan to use DuPont IMRON in the Tenni color, but gloss. Plan B is to go the chip matching route.

    :helmet: Hi all, at the moment I have found the code for Green Tenni produced by BASF chemicals. The code is: 714030401.

    I hope to found also the Lechler Green Tenni code. Cheers Giovanni#60 :mg:
