Thanks for that info, I have put the shocks back the right way, also one was preloaded max on spring, the other side was minimum, go figure.
I have set them both the same now so hoping for a handling improvement.

Move the fuel pump with longer hoses towards the rear of the bike. Reroute it towards the fender. You could also insulate the pump. I used a section of inner tube. Good luck.

Yes, EAA guys used to sit around dinning room table & drink coffee. Before I started farming I worked for John in S.Elgin,IL Nice coincidence...I have my grandfathers pocket watch from the Elgin Watch Company in Illinois. Still works too!

What a coincidence…
Did my Instructor rating in 1990…
My second love. Did you take a ride ?
Interestingly, our Pawnee just failed an A.D. on it’s main spar/s, so it’s effectively worth nothing (much), but we have a new tow plane arriving mid February. $$$$$ !
Hey Peter...I didn't take a ride, but I'll go out again at another date and get some info on going up...looks like fun. These tow planes look quite small and chunky (one of them), I presume they have some pretty good torque/pulling power. Interestingly enough, they only seemed to take the gliders up a few thousand feet, I thought they would go higher, but perhaps wind conditions and other items come into play. It was cool to see them launch and land a few times.

Buying the battery at your local dealer or from Amazon should be the same. In both instances, the battery is coming from an authorized dealer. In most cases, their ‘authorized’ dealer sends it to you when you purchase it through Amazon.
Manufacture using the ‘third party’ excuse are simply telling you to go away because you didn’t pay full MSRP.
For me, Amazon has been absolutely wonderful to purchase through. They give you lots of time to return the item if need be. I’ve always been treated great by Amazon.

There is a place in the EAA museum for my Dad, and one of his Swifts hangs in the Smithsonian in DC. Chucks Sonerai is real sweet.

Might not be from your town, just business there.

In the more than 650,000 motorcycle miles I've done in the last 40+ years of riding, the problems that have left me stuck on the side of the road are, #1 a punctured rear tire, #2 a dead battery, #3 a leaking fuel line inside the tank, and #4 a broken drive chain. These days when I go riding, I always carry with me a tire plug kit, small compressor, misc fuses, zip ties, duct tape, a chain master link, and one of those small battery jump starters. For issues more complicated I have Progressive Insurance towing, which is well worth the additional $10 a bike per year it costs me.
My 2022 V85tt has been the most reliable Guzzi I've ever owned. Since I bought it new 3 years ago and put 20,000 miles on it, not a single thing has cracked, fallen off, leaked, stopped working or worn out......So far.
