It has been a long road and for me, the darkest of shade tree mechanics. It seemed endless at times with the following things needing a good fettling...
Steering and swing arm bearings, wheel bearings, new plugs, leads and caps, fantastic non leaking mid pipe (thank you so much Todd), new tail pipe, air filter, fuel filter and hose, new oil pressure gasket (that's a good left side leak!), new breather hoses and fuel injection line, balanced and cleaned fuel injectors, new coils, and likely crap loads that I've missed BUT I took it out today and what a transformation. Throttle bodies balanced and TPS reset thanks to International Motorcycles, and it was like new again.
I think that Guzzis are frustrating at times, but then I think that the reward is even more fulfilling as some hands-on work has even a modest hack like me feeling a little like Nobby Clarke.
A summer of more freedoms beckons as does a willing motorcycle, bring it on. The fatigue that comes on as a result of good demanding work is brilliant and I want to thank all of you on this site who have patience with guys like me and of course Todd for his products and his sentient advice.
