    Crank Balance Sought In SF Bay Area

    Anyone recommend a shop that can balance a Guzzi crank properly in the SF Bay area? Had the V7 Sport done once... beautiful! Now that shop is closed. Had the Eldo done once... sheesh One would think he would do a better job since HE was so cranky. Bike vibrates noticeably coming on around 50...

    850 Lemans Race Kit Exhaust

    Anyone have a picture of the race kit exhaust system (mufflers specifically) that was available for the 850 Lemans? I am considering picking up some pieces that should be the right ones, but just need to make sure they are correct. The bike is run in PRODUCTION class so the exhaust must look...

    Which Transmissions Had Straight Cut Gears?

    Considering straight cut gears for the race bike. I know Guzzi offered race kits with a couple different gear ratios for the 850 Lemans. I believe some other models (besides race kits) came with straight cut transmission gears. Damaged gears for one on Ebay...

    V7 Sport Shark Gill Muffler's damper

    Anyone have a picture of the internal damper (baffles) of the Silentium "shark gill" mufflers for the V7 Sport and 750S ? I want to remove the damper inside the pipes.

    While studying the Guzzi Bible, I came across mention of a Plexiglass Fairing (windshield) that was offered as an accessory by Guzzi for the V7 Sport and 750S. Anyone ever heard of one? Anyone ever see one? Sure would be nice to add one to the V7 Sport Racer. Alex

    When did disc front become available for V7 Sport?

    I am considering swapping back to the disc brake front end on my 73 V7 Sport. I use the bike for Land Speed Racing and the class rules (P-PP) mandate that whatever components are used must have been available to the public, installed at the factory, during the year of production. Disc brakes, I...

    Egads!

    Eldo refresh takes a turn to the Egads!!! Last night, on the way home, La Stufa (The Stove) started misbehaving. Slowed way down, felt like a throttle problem. I made it home (whew). This AM I discovered the problem and cause. That's the left carb cable fried on the positive terminal of the...

    What's the tallest rear tire for V7 Sport?

    Considering increasing the rollout on the race bike by putting on a taller rear tire. Currently using a 110/80 18 Avon that is shaved. The tallest tire I can find (so far) is a 110/100. However a 4.00/18 seems to be taller according to some sites. The 4.00 /18 is a 1.00 aspect and my math sez...

    +28 grams?

    OK so I am in the throws of balancing the Eldo crank. Too much fun. I've read to add 28 grams to the rotating weight to compensate for oil in the journal. I've also heard that one takes 50% of that oil weight into consideration when determining the bob weight. So... I gotta know: do I...
