    LeMans vin,1 or 2 or?

    Sorry, a little late to this thread. I have a Euro Mk1 (bought new from Shoxx in London), and there is a frame number stamped under the headstock plate. My frame and engine numbers do not match.

    78 LM running rough, and it's my fault. But what did I do?

    delinking brakes on a T-3

    I delinked my LM. Used a radial 19mm (or was it 18mm???? - don't recall) MC up front with 4-pot cals from a Duck. I use wire wheels from a T3 and the hubs needed machining. Tried using a F09 on the rear but its still weak as a wet paper bag. Next step is to bore and resleeve the rear MC to...

    Pic of Lemans Racing Kit Dellorto 40 Manifold?

    Al, I have the METRIK units on my Goose. Be aware that they enable the carbies to rub against one's calves. I came away pretty sore and bruised after a track session. Shane

    Magnecor KV85 8.5mm plug leads and Dyna III coils

    Amici, I am in the market for updating my old plug leads. I've fallen for the Magnecor hype and want to use their KV85 leads, that are 8.5mm in diameter. This may not fit my existing Dyna III coils. Can I simply trim some of the insulation from the Magnecor leads so they fit the Dyana III...

    PHF 36 etc. What's it?

    Don't let the carbies "soak" for too long. Carb cleaner will eat out the zinc faster than Coke rots teeth. A short soak followed by a vigorous scrub will work better.

    Bonneville Speed Week 2010

    Great story, great post-run analysis, and great photos! But for the life of me, why anyone would want to take their pride and joy and smear salt all over it is beyond me. I've spent 34+ years trying to keep corrosion away from my bike, and some people splash it on like sun screen! :shock:

    Wrapped headers..?

    While waiting for Pete Roper's reply, I would suggest that wrapping headers is a bad idea. This is based on my experience in racing cars. Wrapping the headers raises the heat inside the header, walls which leads to weakening of the header walls. Many a racer has gone to remove their wrapped...

    I need a lift - bike lift that is

    You do not want one of these: http://customchopperbuilderstoolbox.com/pro432987.html The Guzzi C-G is not over the center of the lift so the rear wheel stays planted while the front heads for the sky. And being Chinese, the hydraulic cylinder leaks down overnight. Ask me how I know! I made a...

    T3 suspension advice needed

    I would suggest avoiding Marzocchi shocks for the rear. I have tried a couple of sets of their shocks with remote reservoirs and find them way too stiff when riding solo (I weigh 180 lbs with leathers, helmet, boots), but with Significant Other on board (115 lbs with leathers, helmet, boots)...

    Warning: Obcene Picture

    Cheap at twice, no, make that four times the price. Consider the alternative if you were to use those crappy chrome-plated grade-5 Chinese bolts. :o

    Vintage exhaust popping

    Popping on decel often indicates an air leak in the air-fuel system, although this would be odd on your new bike. If you want to hunt down an air leak, smear dishwashing liquid (or some other non-flammable viscous fluid) around joins, shafts, etc on the intake side of the air-fuel system and...

    Battery Relocation

    I use a PC685. I've no problems using it on my LM Lightweight. Note there are 2 places to low-mount a battery box. 1) Directly underneath the gearbox, or 2) Below, but to the rear of the gearbox. The former has the disadvantage that the battery must be removed when draining gearbox oil and...

    Cafe Racer first ride

    Interesting looking minimalist tail/brake light. It doesn't look bright enough to attract the attention of the half-inebriated driver on your tail, or did you find LED's that actually live up to the hype? Yeah, nice bike. Turns my head.

    Dogleg levers

    You've how many bikes and you think Harper's is expensive? ;)

    Andrew's sneak-peak racer

    Thanks. The seat pans and pad are EU 135. I note that TL also has Sfida tanks for EU 715. One could almost build a Sfida.

    Andrew's sneak-peak racer

    Where did you get the Sfida seat pan? I figure you'd have to be Arturo's first-born to get one. :laugh:

    Won't start, clacking/ratching sound

    Check your battery and connections, especially the handle-bar switch and the solenoid. If its an older bike, you likely have dirty connectors in the switch. They are crappy anyway. You are better off wiring in a relay to handle the starter.

    Sizzling Saprisa

    Dunno, George. I have had a Saprisa on mine for a few years with no problems. I was told that it is absolutely critical to keep the regulator cool, but I think the failure mode for an overly hot Saprisa is zero voltage, and does not explain the issue with your second unit. I thought the...

    Triple tree stem

    Thanks Pete! Cripes, has it been that long? :blink:
