Could you swing by my garage? I’ve got a sp1000 just waiting for all this…it’s already disassembled. I’ll give you a beer…two beers?I’d be smarter to buy yours…your killing meWant another one to put together?
"I had previously modified the base plate to get some more adjustment range."I've never understood how they got those bikes to run right from the factory. Personally I've given up on Guzzi points, hope I never had to deal with them again.
I've found it necessary to modify the points plates on approx. 50% of the Tonti Guzzis I've worked on. Why some need it and some don't is a mystery to me. And no, I don't "fudge" the point gap to make it work either. FWIW, 20k miles since I set the points and timing on my Convert, still in gap and timed correctly.
Still waiting on the heads at the machinist. I can’t wait to button up the bike. I traded footpeg brackets with SPMoto in Maine so she will be sporting NT low pipes and fixed foot pegs. I’m always so excited to install headers and mufflers, then wrestle with them forever. Second only to gearbox rear covers for fiddlyness.
I hope your exhaust goes together fine, I can sure relate to fighting with exhaust; I learnt the hard way that miss matching stainless headers with chrome cross over and mufflers on an Eldorado was a nightmare, the stainless headers sent the cross over to far rearward and hit the rear tire, took me a long time to figure out that I needed a matching stainless cross over from the same supplier to have any chance of getting the exhaust to fit.
When you say you took a peek at the bottom end, how much of a peek? bearing caps? ....
Any recent progess Ben?
