That sounds reasonable, except the bigger washers are also Schnoors, and they aren't on the fiche at Harper's. Is it something that was discovered by users afterwards? Should I replace them with flats?

I like that color, especially with the color of the stripes. Very unique, very European.

Unless they're serrated on both sides, they aren't schnorr washers. The ones that I've found on small-blocks are just fairly soft flat washers that the schnorr washers have left an imprint on.
One thing I learned early in Guzzi ownership is that the manuals don't always agree with how the bikes were actually built.

I think I have read somewhere that there is a tractor or Fiat u-joint that is cheaper than stock, but also much stronger?

Aha! Thanks! All 4 happened to land "imprint up" on the workbench so I assumed.... :rolleyes: I assembled it tonight (replacing that aluminum one) and added a bit of loctite for good measure. The manual doesn't list a torque spec so I used 28.8, the generic M* spec.
