Here we go again. in the process of building my 73 V7 Sport over the past two years I accumulated a lot of spares, one thing led to another and now I have gathered up all I need to build a second 73 Sport.
All that I was missing was an original frame with title, Joe W. was kind enough to offer me a tired old 73 Sport frame with original title and that was the last key piece needed.
The Sport frame once hauled a sidecar as a race outfit, but this outfit was welded to the bike frame, took a little time to get the old brackets off.

Rusted and unloved



cleaned up and ready for finishing, a lot of deep pits on the lower cross members but they will not be too visible



made up some new tabs to replace those that were in missing or rusted away





back from the powder coater, along with a set of NOS lower frame rails Curtis Harper sourced along with a center stand and swing arm



Frame tag back on



The block is not original (but Joe knows where the original is and who knows maybe the ying will find the yang)

Surface plate ground the base of the block and oil pan





Reground crank, new mains and shells, balanced rods and NOS gears from Harpers













Nice used cam





and a good used oil pump from Moto Guzzi Classics







Polished lifters from Moto Guzzi Classics



New Giladorni kits







Rebuilt heads with new guides, valves and springs



Tore down the oil pressure release valve, checked and reassembled



New hardware



And a nice good used set of rocker assemblies with new washers



New clutch springs and bolts, relined clutch discs and a new steel center disc













New stator kit, rotor and rectifier



Pulled apart a good five speed



Replaced he main bearings, seals and gaskets and shimmed the drum (thanks for the tutorial Pete)



Carbs stripped, cleaned and internals replaced, new crankcase breather, distributor stripped and cleaned and a new starter



Tank and tool boxes painted



I got the tires mounted today on rebuilt rims

Many, many things to do, too much work these days and not enough quality garage time ;D

This photo concerns me. Looks like the pistons are installed backwards. The "pocket" in the piston should be towards the rear/flywheel side of the engine. The SCA and arrow should point towards the front/timing side.
