    Replacement for dead Veglia speedometer

    I found this on ebay: ebay.com/itm/85mm-White-GPS-120MPH-Speedometer-Light-Odometer-Gauge-For-Car-Truck-Boat-12-24V/184333718415 Then, I fired up my trusty 3D CAD freeware program and designed a new cover for it, because the chrome Veglia cover did not fit. Sent my design to ATX 3D Printing...

    2000 Jackal Master Cylinder question

    I have managed to trash the banjo bolt threads on my original 16mm m/c (long story involving far too many handlebar swaps). I thought I could just swap the housing, so I bought one on eBay with a broken lever that looks like the correct one, black solid rectangular like mine. When I took it...

    Convert charging problems

    The PO had a lithium ion battery installed, along with an aftermarket rectifier/regulator device, and what looks like a new stator assembly. I'm not sure if they replaced the rotor. The installers did not bother to connect the charging indicator light for some reason known only to them. Now, I...

    SP1000 Broken shifter return spring

    I have an '83 SP1000 on my lift with the frame crabbed. It is stuck in 2nd or 3rd gear, I am told by the owner (a buddy of mine) and we are guessing that this is caused by a broken shifter return spring. This bike rode and shifted really well last I was able to test ride it a few months back...

    The horror...

    I'm working on an SP1000 that belongs to a friend of mine who tells me of a few odd symptoms as well as loss of power at freeway speed. He also tells me that he got stuck in traffic on a 100-degree day and left it idling while stopped for a couple of extended periods, like 20 or 30 minutes...

    Quick question for the Illuminati

    I'm working on an '83 SP 1000 that belongs to buddy of mine. Todd, you remember when we were having lunch in Austin and the guy at the next table said he had a Guzzi on his used car lot? Well, this is it. The picture attached is the sump that was on it when purchased. Anybody what sump is...

    1983 SP1000 gas cap

    What kind of gas cap should be on this bike? It belongs to a buddy of mine and it is leading us on quite a chase getting it sorted out. We seem to have discovered one of the problems to be fuel tank venting. Get it up to highway speed (70-80mph) and it runs along just fine for a short...

    81 SP 1000 Hard to start when warm

    A buddy of mine bought this bike and asked me to help him with it. I have cleaned out the carbs as it had been sitting quite a while to try to help the starting issue. The only real problem was the pilot jet passageway was blocked with crud in the right carb. That definitely helped it a lot, as...

    Re-Torquing Head Bolts

    I am working on an early SP-1000 for a bud of mine and I have a quick question about re-torquing the heads. Should I loosen and then re-tighten each one in a criss-cross pattern or loosen them all first before tightening them back? Just wanna know what The Collective thinks about this...

    Round slide carbs on a 1983 SP 1000

    Can anyone tell me what these are, or maybe should be? A buddy of mine recently acquired this bike and I am helping him with getting it running right. Printed versions of the factory service manual and parts book for the bike came with it, but it shows square slide carbs like the ones on my...

    Guzzi Manuals online

    Anyone know where I can get the owner's manual and the service manual for a '76 Convert? I can find all of the ones for the recent bikes (V11, Griso, CalVin, etc), but not the older ones. Or, does my Guzziology have everything I need? ADVthanksANCE -Jack

    Well, guys and gals, it's really been great living here on the Left Coast, but I am moving to Austin, Tx. Barbara & I will be leaving on Saturday (the 28th). I want to thank everyone on the list here and in all places where the Guzzisti hang out for the sharing of their wisdom and friendship...

    How lame I have become...

    I have tried and tried, but I cannot seem to get the fuel tank quick disconnect (an oxymoron if there ever was one) on my Griso 1100 to come loose. I know that I have had it apart before, but I just can't seem to remember the secret handshake required to make it happen. Can anyone out there in...

    OT-NGC Shameless Plug

    My band (King Cotton's Cold as Ice) is playing this evening (5pm - 9pm) at Viva Fresh in Burbank (900 W Riverside Dr), right next to the equestrian center, across the street from Pickwick Bowl. We'll be serving up some funk and R&B, along with a few surprises. It's a really great mexican...

    Jackal cuts out intermittently

    Of course, it's intermittent. There's not many problems on a Jackal (or Guzzis in general) where they wave a red flag at you. Anyway, overall, it runs really great, except that it occasionally cuts out. By that, I mean it just loses power for a few seconds, and then catches again. It...

    Poppy fields

    I've been there and seen them in Far East Lancaster, but I don't remember how I got there. I seem to recall Lake Elizabeth Rd, right on Johnson Rd, and then left on something like W Ave J. Can I get a little help here? ADVthanksANCE -Jack

    Shameless plug (NGC)

    I am playing in a little 14-piece band tonight at Fais Do-Do. http://www.faisdodo.com/ It's an Inauguration Celebration, and then we will be playing there every Sunday evening. Since they serve food there, it an all-ages-allowed kin of a thing. The band plays everything from stone...
