Friend of mine just bought a nice V700 and he is trying to join the forum. Any ideas why it has been over a week and he has not been approved? He has not gotten any response to two email enquiries.Thanks,Tobin
Guzzisti are not heavily into instant gratification.
Not true. I really dig instant gratification. Im just patient about getting it.
This round of approvals was on me. I've been down for a week with the worse case of Strep that I've ever had. Almost had to have an emergency tonsilectomy thing as my throat was almost completely closed and I went a solid 4 days without any real sleep at all. So member approvals was the last thing on my mind. We're all caught up now. Apologies to all the dozen or so new members that were delayed due to this. Let me be among the first to say "Welcome". Thanks,Luap
Thanks Luap! I figured there was a good reason for the delay and I hope you are feeling better. Are you guys ready for some seriously arcane V700 questions? Some interesting differences in our two bikes have popped up and we are hoping you guys can sort them out!Thanks again,TObin
I love "arcane" Loopframe questions, bring it on!
Your buddy is approved, and now it's time to see some pictures of that V700!
Here it is! Can't wait to get it sorted out. At a minimum, engine needs to be-resealed. Those SS1s are beautiful, but I might install VHBs for practicality.
Looks great. How much has or has not been done to it? Have the original chrome cylinders been replated or replaced?
II haven't done much disassembly yet. Still working on game plan. I want it to be reliable & oil-tight. Not too fussed on cosmetics.I'm assuming it will be easier to remove the motor/transmission for a complete seal/gasket job -- any special guidance on this?
