Guest Nogbad Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 I know this is going to make me seem dim, even as thick as sh*t, but could someone explain the difference between "loop" frame Guzzis and "Tonti" Guzzis. I know what the spine frame is as I own one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jrt Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 I know this is going to make me seem dim, even as thick as sh*t, but could someone explain the difference between "loop" frame Guzzis and "Tonti" Guzzis. I know what the spine frame is as I own one. 66782[/snapback] To further expound on it- the "loop" frame was designed by Carcano- the loop refers to the looping of the frame around the engine. - as an aside- to pull the motor from loopframe, you need to wiggle it out from between the frame rails. The Tonti frame was designed by Lino Tonti, it doesn't have any pet names that I know of. It is a much stiffer frame and the rails that run along the bottom of the motor can be unbolted. So in this case, to remove the motor, just unbolt the lower frames and walk the upper frame forward and away on the front tire. I used to be able to remove the motor in my G5 within 2 hours and I'm not even very fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baldini Posted November 10, 2005 Author Share Posted November 10, 2005 ....Wonder where it is now... ...it wasn't metalflake pink was it? ...this one was - Fastback tail cut a bit on a homemade pan. I always liked em but thought on the Norton they hung out too far back w/the dual seat. KB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
