audiomick Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 Ah, now I see nuts. Expensive, methinks, but very, very pretty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, I figure using my existing "spacer" and adding the expensive washer and nut to the Moto Guzzi cadmium bolt will set me back a whopping $10US including the shipping costs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

docc Posted April 19, 2023 Share Posted April 19, 2023 So, as pretty as the Moto Guzzi bolts are, cadmium plated, these nuts&washers (two days from McMaster-Carr) have a stunning black finish. That they look like powder coat is confirmed seeing they are Black Luster®, a Columbia Coatings powder coat product. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LowRyter Posted April 20, 2023 Author Share Posted April 20, 2023 I'm getting the Greenie back tomorrow. Rode it today before I rode the Mandello. It's pretty stout, broken bolt replaced, new tires and brakes, Brembo levers (free) and dyno tuned .... wont outrun the Mandello in a straight line, right now I'd take the Sport in the twisties. So far as a beauty contest, Green wins. Got the EV back, runs better than in many years. I'll be Guzzi @100% tomorrow or the next day. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartyNZ Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 On 3/19/2023 at 9:18 AM, al_roethlisberger said: Shouldn't the nylok/nylock nut really be replaced after one use as well, especially for something that crucial, or is that overkill? It is a good idea to replace nylock nuts after use if in a critical application, but there is an alternative. A check for "Run On" torque can tell you if the nut locking function is still effective. I'd call my Rear Axle nut critical, and the locking is a bit marginal, so one day... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al_roethlisberger Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 In theory the bolt I ordered is still on order ...not critical timing, so we'll still see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have the McMaster-Carr part number for the bolts in case anyone needs them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cadmium plated bolts are the correct Guzzi part GU01357731 from Harpermoto. @Curtis Harper still has a few on hand. Always best to call Curtis (and mention V11LeMans.com). I could not find the correct shank length (thread length) bolt at McMaster-Carr, but sourced the powder coated, 10.9 hardness, nuts and washers there. Those part numbers and links are in this post: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
