Good that you already bought the Gilardonis, V700 sets haven't been available for ~ 10 years.

Wow! Am I glad I had the presence of mind to buy them 12 years ago.
Charlie, you made me go down and take a look at them just in case I had dreamt I bought them. :azn:
I checked over the contents also. Ha!
Frenchfrog:
Wow...what a stunning bike Dave....congrats of finally getting started !!!!!! Will follow this with great interest
Dave Swanson:
The more things I inspect on this bike the more I find conflicting wear indications.
Today I looked closely at the rear drive internal and external splines. They are quite worn out, especially the rear wheel spline! Too worn out to put back together that's for sure. I am looking for splines now.
I am beginning to get the impression that this bike sat around the shop so long it was used for a parts mule from time to time. No way of knowing for sure, but that would explain the difference in wear items.

Beautiful V7 Dave!
Are those Dellorto carbs painted from the factory?

Yes, that is the factory paint. I will leave them as is and not touch up or respray. It is quite unusual to still have the factory silver mostly intact I am sure.
