    Le Mans 1 had the calibers in the front too while Le Mans 2 (and SP1000/CX100) and onwards had them in the back. So it must be something with the year of manufacturing.. .and the lower section look COOL with the small engravement. Wish my SP1000 had that detail too

    These shocks look really cool! I'm wondering if they are supposed to be mounted with the reservoir down? My first thought would be to mount them with the reservoir upwards so they are part of the suspended weight and not bouncing up and down with the wheel.

    Cleaning rusty gas tank - anyone tried Metal Rescue Rust Remover? Other ideas?

    I cleaned mine with household vinegar in about a week. It was pretty clean afterwards. While the tank was filled with vinegar, I took around 20 M8 nuts and pulled a fishing line through so they were on a loose chain.

    I don't want to hijack the thread but let me know if I can help. If you still have the VIN, you can look it up in the public Tag register to see if it's on the road: www.nummerplade.net - VIN = "Stelnummer"

    I have an 81 1000SP which have been stripped down and converted into a racer style. It's stock drivetrain except 36mm Dellorto pump carbs and lafranconi competizione exhausts. You can see more by clicking the link in my signature

    Hey and welcome man! Nice to see another Guzzi Rider on this site. Looks like you're doing a bit more than just the seals for the moment? What model is it? looks like 850T on the side cover but not sure. Post more photos please, it's always nice to see other men's toys.... Greetings from cold...

    It must be thrilling to be so close to fire up now :D The bushes outside in the beginning looks remarkable green, all our trees and bushes are naked here in Denmark now

    Cool helmet, I've always wanted that model too. I have a full-sized head too and like you have problems finding a fullface that fits. I had good experience with bandit alien though and recently bought a LS2 FF396 which fits at least my head well https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7mqYwUMRiyg

    Very nice and close to the oringial color scheme I think, just with a twist. I will look even better in spring with bugs smashed out on the front and a few strains of oil and dirt 8)
