Just got it firing!
With V85tt engines starting to come up at reasonable prices and older, less loved and hammered V7 and V7ii…
Let’s say that I got the plumbing, electrical and tuning under control. I can fab engine mounts or the whole lower cradle if needed.
But what plays nice mechanically?
Looks to me that pretty much all of the six speed boxes are the same. Same bolt pattern, same output, same width at the swing arm.
The V1 frame, the engine is tilted up… and only fits the five speed.
The V7ii frame has some space between the tank and the heads, will take any six speed?
How about the clutch? The the V7iii got the big clutch? Same as the V7 850?
So… a V85tt engine should bolt to a V7ii gearbox? With the stock clutch for the TT? And the V7ii frame???
The V1 had a single throttle body, the TT is a 52mm unit and it looks like the manifold sits a little tiny bit further back… but I’m not seeing any insurmountable hurdles except that I don’t know anything about guzzi bolt pattern.
I want a skinny 130 swingarm, non abs and somewhat lifted mini adventure bike…
Tell me why it won’t just bolt together or if it will.
Yeah, I’m thinking a V9 tank if it absolutely won’t fit better the heads…. But let’s talk transmissions and clutches first.
