Top work Ash, the bikes really looking great and it’s been a great thread to follow.

Ahhhh, yes, of course :thumb2

Again, just out of interest, does that run off the crank or the distributer?

Love it ...

Your concrete could do with a good clean! :aidan
Seriously, well done chap, great piece of work, and a good thread to boot :thumby::thumby:
 
Really pleased with the result..

Just goes to show if your determined enough great results can be achieved.
Its certainly not easy for me.
Far from it if I'm honest .

As I've said Guzzies are really well made.
Amazing for a tiny factory on the banks of lake Como, especially as they were going bust regularly in them days.
And the top notch parts used to build them.

I know I'm a bugger for putting my all into them & then parting with um.
But I honestly fink I will keep her.
Your very unlikely to ever see another one, even rarer that I'd ever be able to get another.
Plus I love the look & colour..
