So for a mere $700 you can have an engine cosmetically altered to cool less efficiently and also not look right as either a square or round fin . . . ? POLL:O I'm excitedO What's the point?O What's a euro?
Charlie, are you able to do the rounding of the fins yourself? I think its a cool thing, makes for a much more attractive looking engine, and in a loop frame bike, it will just look "right" . It actually reminds me of the way the cylinders and heads look on the new V 7 smallblocks. Looking forward to seeing pics of the new Ambo, with that mod done to it.Rick.
Maybe y'all have seen this already, but here it goes anyway http://www.hmb-guzzi.de/shop/product_info.php?info=p7710_eckigen-motor-rundfraesen.html&XTCsid=2f67de9baee5017c778a81e19f990c55 ...., almost forgot.... let the snapping of the suspenders begin
I think a little bit of rounding looks good.
I should be able to. If not, I'll just forget it. Mine probably won't be quite as "rounded off" as the ones shown on HMB. Just a little to smooth the angles. I wasn't even planning to use the Cal II engine, but a low-mileage one "fell in my lap" for $200.
Here is a detail shot of the rounded heads on the cafe racer above. The builder is John Willet in the UK. If you do a search on Moto Nero, you can find his blog.
I'll bet a "fin job" like that would look good with the rounded, organic lines of my Sport 1100 !!The guards kind of mask the angled cut of the fins. I've never really liked the angled cut the fins have.
