Title: My Lemans SE project thread - update 2024
Post by: Turin on March 29, 2016, 09:02:43 PM
This is going to take a while. I haven't come up with a plan yet... maybe a dr john replica?

Here at Dave's home for wayward Guzzis I like projects.  But that may be a little over the top.  Lots a work, could make a cool bike out of it though.  Good luck and keep us posted on the project.

Got the original motor and the race motor, original se close ratio tranny a spare (maybe eldo?) forks, and a set of custom billet triple clamps. I need everything that goes between the tranny and the rear wheel ( besides the swing arm). I'm not sure what kind of rear differential would be the sturdiest. Also I'd like a front wheel and axel, 16" would be fine.  :grin:

Hard to go wrong with the original type rear drive with 7/33 gears. Driveshaft and coupler are available new for under $100 at MG Cycle, a new u-joint is ~ $237.

My thinking was rather than a Dr Jon Replica why not Dave's Cycle resto(mod)?  The bike might have history all it's own.  ANd you could still trick it out with Dr J parts and stuff.

I like this idea.  Find the history and see what story you might tell for years to come.  I love doing the Dr. John stuff, but it looks like it was close to it anyhow... by appearance anyhow.  You might find exact.pics to go by with a little research through this Dave cat.  That would be a find.  Fun stuff.

that is a nice start of a project!
at least you can mod anything you want, you are not destroying a original classic
i built myself a ducati F1 , started with just the frame.
basically i can fit whatever suspension i want, no worries about originality.

I'm leaning that way now. Dave's Cycle was the local Ducati, Guzzi, Morini, and Triumph dealer . They also raced and this was Daves racebike until he switched to a 900SS.http://www.teamwreckless.com/home.html. I've known about this bike since about 1991. I'm not sure if I'd want to clear the tank of have it re-painted.

The forks are currently on half of a 1980 G5 frame that was experimentally monoshocked and had the steering head geometry altered. That frame is going in the trash as soon as I get the forks off.

Dave and Kathy use to own Dave's Cycles in Mesa.  I bought my Daytona 1000 from them. They sold it and the owner that bought the dealership is/was not a customer service type person.  Last time I saw them I had lunch with them near their home in Queen Creek.  Kathy use to be the "monkey" when they use to race sidecars.  Buffalo, NY area IIRC.

I'm going to start this to document my progress. Motor and tranny have been checked, clutch and plates like new. Fresh paint on drivetrain!
Engine is 78 x 94, X7cam, major port work, lightweight flywheel.

Title: Re: My new Lemans SE project
Post by: Turin on August 30, 2016, 08:53:28 PM
Swan tail.. check but solo seat only. Since it is an SE, the bodywork will be white with red accents.
Tom, did you ever hear this thing run back in the day?
Title: Re: My new Lemans SE project
Post by: Tom on August 31, 2016, 02:23:34 PM
I have a '87 SE with 16" front wheel.  It has a Bub exhaust system on it.  Sounds pretty good. 

Biggest problem, I had was with the right accelerator pump.  The factory setting had it squirting too much gas.  I found this out by chance.  Took awhile to find this out.  Rebuilt the carbs 3 times.  Checked the complete ignition system 4 times.  I really wanted to punch Guido in the face.

The other problem, that has plagued this model is the triple trees.  Check for cracks.  Not sure why.  Maybe the metal used in them or Guido tried to save some pennies for the parts.  This is/was the problem that showed with the 16" wheel up front. IMO.  Anyone can correct.

I don't have the 16" handling problem that was with most others.  My '89 LeMans V has the 18" front wheel otherwise the same bike as the '87 LeMans IV SE.

Post by: Tom on August 31, 2016, 05:49:28 PM
The perceived problem that people have said with the SE was the 16" wheel.  Turns out the triple trees were the problem.
Title: Re: My new Lemans SE project
Post by: Antietam Classic Cycle on August 31, 2016, 07:42:37 PM
The only triple tree "issue" I've heard of was the '85 version vs. later ones. In '86 they changed the offset, increasing trail and slowing the steering a bit. The material changed too - from nicely cast aluminum to roughly cast steel/iron. Never heard of either cracking.

The later type was supplied as an "update" kit to anyone with an '85 that wanted it.

Edit: Guzziology agrees with the above and says that "Later ('86-on) bikes again had aluminum clamps but of the revised dimensions".

Maybe that's the "problem" for the 16" wheel and by the time it was corrected, the "bad handling" label got tied to the bike.

Good grief what size of rotors are these?   :grin:

I know the 16" wheel will make them appear even bigger, but when I look at my 320s on an 18" wheel they look miniscule compared with these

Can you get the caliper on and off without removing the rotor? Might be tight once lines are installed

Watching with interest........... .........nice work Turin

This is  the Daves Cycle racebike.
 The rotors are NOS 300mm that were part of the old upgrade kit for the 18" wheel conversion. http://www.dropbears.com/s/sda/p62.htm
Calipers are Harrison billet 6 piston that I scored off of E-bay several years ago.

Dave Hull and I raced that bike in a four hour at phx int, in 1993. Pretty potent motor as I recall. Back then all 3 brakes were on the front master, with a chyrsler adjustable proportioning vavle for the rear.
I was never so sore, after riding that thins for a couple hours.
Glad you are restoring it.
Title: Re: My new Lemans SE project
Post by: Turin on October 16, 2016, 02:05:44 PM
Dave, how cool is it that you raced this thing! I got it in pieces, and a lot is/was missing. I am putting back as much of the original pieces as possible (as raced). Tom Hull is adding a lot of his input into the build. He's going to build a 2-1 exhaust system.

That SE was built by Lance Baker, who at the time worked for moto america, the importer, at that time.
the exhaust was a rennsprt 2-1-2, but dave made a2into 1 out of it. for ground clearance.
originally a battle of twins racer.

Still cannot get over how large they look on the wheel

Thanks Dusty, but It's not too bad when you buy that ex-racebike from the man who built and raced it, and his son is heavily involved in building it again . I could not do this by myself and ever hope to ride it .
 
Dave was racing this bike when I met him at his dealership when I was enrolling in college. He's the reason my first bike was a Guzzi.
He thought I would do something cool with it and he wanted his storage container cleaned out.

Hi Turin
Thanks for sharing your project. I love the Stucchi fairing, how did you come across it?

Seeing that you are not aiming for a concours restoration, aesthetically a 1100 Sport carb fuel tank might be the icing on the cake? Surely you have one in your cornucopia of parts (envious of your workspace)

Cheers

Not my workspace, I've got a little two car garage ( which I'm grateful for btw) The build is happening at the local Ducati builders shop. His dad raced it back in the day (so did he a couple of times). I bring the parts and, he makes it work. The original tank will be mildly modified and go on the bike. Right now it's getting wired.

FCR 41's. Sudco and Power Barn sell a kit for the 1100 sport.

I went his route because:
A - this engine was modified with a big bore kit and racing cam and other fun stuff, I figure racing carbs are appropriate.
B- there were no carbs included when I brought home my giant basket case. I'd have went with Del'lortos if I had a set.

The left side carb linkage has issues clearing the tank so the tank is going to need a slight recess. Left side air filter will get squished by the frame.

Have you been riding it yet? No ride report as far as I can see, which brand are your mirrors and how do you like them? I need something similar for mine. I don't like not having mirrors but also don't like the cheap bugeye mirrors I bought for the MOT.

Went for a hour long blitz Saturday night. I learned a couple of things. The charging system is not working. 45 minutes in the lights started really dimming, and I didn't dare let her stall, there is no way I could push start this thing. Rear shocks are set too stiff, any road irregularities upset the chassis. All fixable.

Brakes are awesome. I appreciate braking more than I do horsepower. The Harrison Billet 6 calipers with the Foating Brembo rotors and Brembo radial master cylinder provide one finger braking. Tom converted the rear disc to fully floating.

The seat is a stock lemans 1000 including plastic pan with the back cut off and attached to the rear duck tail. Semi stock riding position.

The engine is pulls hard everywhere to 8,000 rpm. Not so hot for low speed tiddling though.

Still working the bugs out. The gas tank developed a leak up top there the new panel was welded in for the recessed filler. My painter is a great guy and repaired it at no charge ( not his fault at all) The alternator that was installed was bad.  I had two other spares. Still shaking her down and finding loose bits that need tightening. The exhaust nuts came loose causing a big exhaust leak that made the bike run poorly and blue flames to shoot out the exhaust. not fun when your foot is next to the end of the tailpipe.

On the positives, she's a total monster that wants to lift the front wheel up in first, and this has the close ratio ZD tranny with that tall 1st gear. Handling with the 16" front is great as long as there is enough air in the tires.

Turin, I came across a video on youtube the other day, almost 100% sure it's your bike during the rebuild phase. Sounded very good, and had sort of a clean "whistle" sound when giving it throttle.. what is doing that, the exhaust or the carbs? Love it!
Title: Re: My Lemans SE project thread - Kinda Finished !!!
Post by: Turin on June 20, 2019, 10:31:23 PM
Really crappy video that's sideways?

The guy adjusting the idle is Tom Hull (Toms Italian tune and Service)  It was hid dad's ( Dave ) racebike.

The whistling noise is actually the gear whine from the front of the engine. You don't here it as much now due to the fairing.  To appreciate it, you have to here it under load. Yowsa!

Post by: Turin on October 25, 2020, 01:37:48 AM
Long term update. lots of tuning adjustments have had to be made. She finally starts easily and idles. FCR carbs are a PITA and the big cam and high compression don't help. I'm contemplating changing up the exhaust.
She is fast and the lessons learned on this one will carry over to her sister, the Raceco Sidlow bike.

Post by: Groover on October 25, 2020, 11:41:45 AM
That exhaust does seem a little short, are you considering going back to duals? If staying 2-1, I'd consider a "Thunderheader" off a Harley setup with an actual functional reverse cone, but you'd have to modify it of course. Probably the shorter ones used on the dyna or sportster model would probably be even better because it's closer in cc. I had a Harley a long time ago, and tried a ton of exhausts at the time, until I was pleased with the tone and performance of that particular exhaust. It actually made a difference and performance increase was real unlike others that were just noise.

Here is some info on them:

Running Conti sport attack 4 120/70-17 up front and a Road attack 3 150/65-18 out back. the 150 had to have the right side of the tire shaved with a plane so it wouldn't rub the swing arm. Fitting the Harrison 6 calipers was a bitch. I expect handling improvements with the rounder profile tires.

Yup.  The 1987 F1B that we rebuilt at the same time as my V7 Sport has astralites on it.  So light, they’re the only rims besides plain old shouldered Borranis that I have ever really, really liked.  They’re gorgeous wheels, too- especially that gold.

One day, during a moment of inattentiveness, the F1 was taken on brief off-road excursion that buggered the front wheel.  It’s been a long time and we haven’t found a replacement yet.  Very impressive to see your pair materialize. You’ve mentioned them before iirc.

I would really like a set for my CX, but have no realistic expectations about it ever happening.

I found these a week before x-mas on E-bay. Bid late at night with 30 minutes left and I was sure they'd get sniped at the last second. A couple of friends said they passed on them due to the odd sizes. (17" front and the 4 inch wide rear). These are the only aftermarket wheels I could imagine putting on this bike.

Great score, can't believe I missed them!

Must be the season for Astralites - seems they are everywhere but in my hands!  :azn:

Wheels and Conti attack tires did wonders.  She steers really light and transitions faster side to side. I feel like I could get a knee down if I was still that brave. Stick a fork in this one.
