Progress on the Norge. Wired the GPS power cord USB plug and trigger for front LED lights into the switched GPS power lead. Also ran the leads for heated gear and trickle charger plug, mounted the LED brake light strip. Still have to mount the lower circular LED brake light (I like to be seen).

Next up is fluids, tuneup and brake pads and check of swing arm and steering bearings, then cosmetics.

Not Guzzi, but my barn find '73 R75/5 Long Wheel Base. Didn't take much to get the bike cleaned up and running. I wanted Wixom bags and mounts on it and that took a bit of work. Also added a Slipstreamer fairing.

For those who expressed interest in my project, it’s going slow but I’m making progress on my 427 Galaxie build around stone work and eldercare.  The engine is nearing completion.  So is the transmission.  There have been lots of special parts to find to keep it more correct & authentic.  Most of those parts are listed in the video description.   Here’s a quick video from this afternoon.

Pretty much finished addressing all of the needs on the '84 V65SP a friend gave me. Rode 20 test miles last week and another 225 today. Running great! The "wabi sabi" is strong with this one though.

Click and Clack the Tappet Brothers would have said I needed a good dope slap. On my Norge I drained the oil and dropped the filter. Ready to install one of two filters I have for the Norge. Fill the new filter with oil and grease the gasket Try putting the new filter on and it won't start. Compare it to the old filter and discover it and it's mate our T-3 filters. DUH! Quick order to MG for the correct one. Damn old age.
