As many of you know, Moto Guzzi's are often referred to as agricultural in their feel in fact there's even a widely lauded Moto Guzzi website entitled:. "This old tractor" .
So in this spirit, I submit the following as being completely appropriate for the Stornello TT project... Stay tuned for details.

Yes, but Greg Bender's This Old Tractor web site was originally about tractors not Moto Guzzis. :wink:

Then there's car companies who do tractors. Not just Ford.

OK, I don't know how we go from tractor associated stuff to wheel balancing but since you asked, heres my 2₵ worth.
On the subject of wheel balancing, I have only used stick on and/or clip on lead weights on my motorcycles. However, the PO of my '72 Eldo placed Dyna Beads in the tubes versus metal weights. I assume the Dyna Beads are doing their job at balancing out the wheels as I travel down the road because I have not noticed any undesireable balance issues. On the other hand, checking tire pressure on these wheels is a PITA because whenever I check tire pressure the tiny Dyna Beads lodge themselves in the shrader valve resulting in air loss. To correct the leaking valve condition I must "add" air to blow the beads out of the valve seat and back into the tube. I suppose if the beads were of a larger diameter it would not be a problem. Perhaps these beads come in various sizes and the PO bought the wrong size, I don't know. When I replace the tires & tubes next spring, I will not be going back with beads. And, I haven't decided on whether to spend a small fortune on spoke weights or cheap good old fashioned solder wrap around a spoke.
Hey, how about the new steel/iron stick ons...aint they ugly & cheap lookin'!!??
I would not think this would be a problem if the valve stem was at the 12 O'clock position.

Wished I'da seen this before I painted my T back in the 90's. It certainly sets the bar for a tractor cycle!

Speaking of tractors- have any of you made it up or down to Mt. Pleasant, IA for the Old Thresher's Reunion? Late summer- September some time. That is a fantastical congregation of antique tractors and steam engines. Well worth the drive.

Latest on the V7 Stornello TT. Freshly serviced, front fender lifted, and some cosmetic changes. Can't wait to ride.
I bought the yellow tank last year, but didn't like how it looked with the side covers. I think the yellow on the base plate ties it in a little better. I'll use the Modified racer side covers (now on wall) when I have the stock white tank on the bike, and use the modified stock side covers when in yellow, but I think the yellow is here to stay for a while.
The "John Deere" yellow color match isn't perfect, but is very close. The tank has a bit of a lime green tinge to it.

I also took the opportunity to take that little rubber cap off the airbox drain, and run a capped line down to below the frame to easily drain the airbox.
