The disappointing part is the solder cylinder ends for the clutch and brake levers are really to small, I will probably replace them.
Those small cable ends may be made for the weird little caps that fit over the cable end and into the levers. IIRC the cap acts as a retainer so the lever can be made without a slot for the cable (instead the cable end is inserted and the cap put over it). Here is a picture of the small cable end with the cap over it. The OD of the cap is the size of the hole in the lever.While it looks clever, the clutch cable quickly failed by wearing against the slot in the cap. I've now got larger ends on both brake and clutch cables and they wear much better.
I haven't looked at this project in awhile and of course it is just great work. Does Retro mostly sell old parts or do they also have parts for later models?
Retro does not have an online catalogue but he will respond to email. I think his specialty is the pre V Twin bikes.
Beautiful work (and documentation!). It looks great. Your posts on assembling the spiral throttle remind how complicated and fiddly it is. Amazing it was ever used!It will be a beautiful bike.
Wow! That’s a lot of work for a couple of nuts. Well done.
Also appreciate seeing your press form. I would have guessed the aluminum would distort too easily pressing on stainless but worked great.
Wonderful!I'm into the 70's bikes but this is really inspirational. Maybe I should get an older bike...?
Your press work ,detailing ,the mix of ,"if I can't get it ,I make it myself",plus all the pics /close up .To me a very enjoyable read .A 1 !And I really like the Guzzi Single Banger ,everything out in the open .
