Hey cheese, Nice bike, look forward to seeing it progress. To get her past the MOT I believe you need indicators front and back along with a numberplate light (and a red reflector).

After a year I managed to get a replacement gearbox sourced - it was cheaper to get a replacement than having the old one rebuilt. I believe the issue in the end was that I adjusted the shift indent too far and the spring popped off, no way to sort that without stripping the box. Live and learn...

Thanks for the suggestion japstar. It doesn't seem to want to shift through the gears with a static or rotating primary gear shaft. Oh if only I had the foresight for my first bike to be something well engineered like a jap bike ;D Thanks Rusnak, can't beat that vapour blasting for a lovely...

This is quickly snowballing into a nut and bolt rebuild. I decided to completely strip the frame and have it blasted and powder coated, it now has a lovely satin black finish. I was worried that the blasting and heat of the oven would cause the 2-pack bonder to give way but it held up well and...

Hi Guys, I am in the process of completely rewiring a 1995 Moto Guzzi 750 Nevada that had a Digiplex ignition and Saprisa alternator. The original loom has been completely removed and I will be fitting a m-unit/m-button, digital ignition (Elektronik Sachse), LED lighting, motoscope classic...

All of the electronics have arrived now so I have spent today putting together a wiring diagram. I think I have most of it sorted but I am a little confused about the Alternator/R&R wiring. The original wiring diagram shows 4 cables going into the R&R; 2 Yellow from the Alternator (Saprisa) 1...

I tried it on the rocker covers and painted inlet manifolds and it didn't seem to have much umph getting rid of the grime there either, no doubt I am doing something wrong here as I have seen others with great results. I found a guy doing vapour blasting at a great price (2x carbs and manifolds...

Thanks for the info, I have signed up and made a post. Seems like a wealth of knowledge there. Thanks furu14, seems simple now you have shown me. I bought a basic soda blasting kit to spruce up the carbs but it didn't make a blind bit of difference! I purchased some metal float bowls to...

Re: "Moto Guzzini" (1995 Moto Guzzi 750 Nevada) Cafe Racer Build Test was booked for May but I broke my collarbone skiing a couple of weeks ago so postponed until June. A cheap bike to learn on would certainly be a good idea, thanks for the advice! Today the carbs got stripped and...

Thank you sir. Thanks for the critique! It is a huge headlight, an ancient Lucas unit. I will have a look to see if I can find a nice 7" one to make the front look sleeker. I will hoping to hide some of the electronics in the back of the headlight and possibly the front brake distributor (not...

Hi All! During a weekend trip to Lisbon I walked past a beautiful bike sitting for sale on the marina. After oohing and ahhing for a few moments with my girlfriend I walked off and enjoyed the rest of my trip. However, after coming back to Blighty the bike was on my mind... I managed to find...
