Title: Finally!!! Thanks all!
Post by: GeorgiaGuzzi on September 09, 2020, 01:36:26 PM
Installed fuel regulator from fotoguzzi yesterday. Realized the seat and side covers were still in the back of the Jeep from when I went up to Wayne’s to hook up Guzzidiag. Jeep was with my wife at work. Rode around driveway yesterday with no problems. Today I installed seat, side covers, made sure everything was all buttoned up, and took my Quota out for a ride! She runs great! Took all manner of roads, from back roads to four lane to dirt roads. No running issues. Brakes work great, transmission shifts as well as those old five speed boxes shift, clutch seems adjusted right, and no weird shakes or shimmies. So now I can get on with a few small issues, but with any older vehicle those are a constant feature.

Really, really could not have done all the work on this bike without all of the help everyone provides. Thank you all very very much!

I swung by my old bachelor pad bc it’s a pretty location for a pic

And check this out y’all! No leaks afterwards (for today at least)

Good job!

Notice you have a set of the no-longer-available Givi E21 bags.  Nice, light, top loading, and easy off and on.  What's not to like?  Installed a set on my T120.  Monokey forever!  Givi should have kept those in their product line.

Yes!!! Valvolene VR1 20-50. Or whatever the one with plenty of zinc is! However, just to be sure, I DID check oil level before and after the ride!

You are correct sir! I waited about three months for a reasonable set to come up for sale. A couple times I just missed out on adv rider. I love top loaders bc you can “nest” your frequently used items on top so when you stop just open em up, grab what you need, and no worries about dumping your entire pack out!
