A mate of mine has a '76 900SS that he rides almost daily. Even takes it on dirt when he goes camping! We keep telling him that he's crazy and should get a second bike but he loves riding it so much that he just doesn't care.
You can straighten the threads with a thread file, if you determine what pitch the stem is.
Where did you get the repro foot peg rubbers?Do you know, are they the same as 750GT?
Did you actually hand-cut all those gores in the tape so that it would go on without bunching and wrinkling? Or is there tape that's made to lay down in a circle? This is a great illustrated narrative.Lannis
Lovely.
Really enjoying this, Jim. Such a beautiful job!Shaun
Wow, looking great, Jim. I LOVE the orange paint!Are you sticking with the stock master cylinder with the second caliper up front?Also, does the second rotor just go right on the hub and line up with the second caliper, or is a spacer required as it was when I added the 2nd disc to my Eldorado?That front end looks to be the same as my 750GT.
Yep using the stock Brembo master cylinder for dual discs, it was reportedly too much for a single caliper but better with a pair - its the same master cylinder and caliper set up on my Laveda SF and Guzzi 750S.The right hand caliper bolts right on to the stock fork leg, it was designed to take a pair and was stock on the electric start 860 GTE.
By the way, it was a non-desmo bike that used hairpin valve springs like a Manx Norton.
