Tuned and Synch'ed
Sorry for the purists! Please consider that I am trying to vitalise some dead parts, rather than dismantle a collectable:
- I received an incomplete collection of pretty damaged parts from a 750-S3 which had been the subject of severe abuse over the years. The back of the frame was warped (slightly, though), the engine was butchered, the electricity was ... well, let's say poor, and almost any remaining bit (heads, footpegs, levers, etc) had been crushed.
Under the pressure of Guzzi enthusiasts willing to preserve what they considered being an historical treasure, the bike has been for sale since 2005, but nobody sensible ever wanted to buy or trade her for a decent amount - hence this project.
My intention, now, is to build a (72) vintage looking road bike - no cafe racer, here - with the biggest engine I can afford.
So far I am willing to use an 1100 engine with a Ducati charging system but I am not aware of all the issues with this electrical system.
I wish you could educate my on this, please.
