My mum once told me

[Andi_archer]

OOH very nice and blingy

 

[mikeyboy]

Crikey,it’s been over a year since I last did anything with my Guzzi project
Last year got a bit hectic with work,projects ,more projects and a house move so this old bus got shoved in a corner.
I did advertise it for sale but no one seemed interested in my generosity .
Let’s see if I can get any further with it this year
Got the block nice and clean with another session in the aquablast cabinet.
Got the crank and rods in,now just need a few gaskets to arrive to get the short motor done

Short motor is built.

Whats the webbed looking part behind the conrod (inside the engine) Is the counterweight of the crankshaft - Never seen one webbed before if it is

 

[mikeyboy]

,that’s the main bearing carrier.
Its ribbed for strength,if you felt the weight of the crank and flywheel/clutch assy

Ah logos.................probably, IMHO, the best iteration of the logo to come out of the factory. Apologies but it's on my wall so a picture of a picture...........

Reckon it'd look great on an ally tank

Edit: Just found one on the web

Do you have an image of the left side Andres?
I thought the birdy faced forward?

 

[Wrinkly]

I think you're right Mikey. On badges, stickers, etc the eagle tends to face to the right. On the bike, the emblem will face the front of the bike.

That is the left side of the tank (no pictures of the r/h side, sorry) but yeah you're right. Normally the eagle faces direction of travel............don't know what the score was with this art deco logo, I took the picture at the Guzzi museum. I don't know if it was a production or one off bike It's a cool logo though

Agreed, but there's always an exception to the rule (especially when it comes to Guzzi ) - front mudguard of a Falcone from the Guzzi museum..........

The model name is Gambalunga, unfortunately my photo is blurred but if you google it the logo is indeed facing “backwards” on the left hand side

You were right Mike, the pipes I had on my Lemans were exactly the same as Kaffeemaschine fit to a lot of their bikes

Bit rich for my budget.

HOW MUCH

Andres

 

[mikeyboy]

Gaskets and seals arrived so the motor is all rebuilt and lovely
Incidentally,like a knob,the 1st set of gaskets I ordered incorrectly,
So anyone with a round barrel in need of base,head and valve cover gaskets shout up,

 

[mikeyboy]

Next up.

 

[mikeyboy]

Not much amiss in here

 

[mikeyboy]

Looking better already

A thing of beauty Mikeyboy its surprising what you can do with a bit of Autosol
