78 850 Le Mans Rebuild

And she’s back on the road!  After Charlie got her to start and verified and corrected some of my work I was like a kid on Christmas.   Runs great!  Sounds terrific! Shifts well, starts easy, hot and cold.  New FAC dampers are plenty stiff.  Did a couple days of riding in Virginia horse country to get some break in miles.   I added a washer where none was needed on the brake arm pivot causing some binding.  Fixed and ready for more miles.

The bike looks great! Best of luck.

Hoping you get that rear end sorted.   I take the easy route and drop those problems at Charlies.

Thanks, I'm close to getting it resolved, just waiting on the new hub from MG Cycle.   Well, I could have sent it out to Charlie or Steve but decided that after having all of these Guzzi's it was time to finally open up a rear drive. Next will be a transmission, as my CX is buzzing when I make a hard shift into third gear at high rpm's.
