Cool build...nice looking drill job on the final drive. I've seen a build where the flange was removed.

The master cylinder mounting holes are the same for the front and rear. I mounted mine in the stock position and ran a flexible fluid line down from the reservoir instead of the steel one. You could also put a reservoir directly on top, simply pullout the plastic elbow.

Not sure what you mean about using the front m/c. Using a front m/c in place of the rear when de-linking the brakes on the V50 will yield an acceptable lever ratio

Hi Dale, glad to see you picked it up again. I haven't been here in a while as my favorite builds all seem to have stalled. The new tail section looks great BTW. Don't lose the momentum!

Hey cheesy, I noticed you want to de-link the brakes. iirc you use a front master cylinder in the rear. The mounting holes are the same. I just ran a line up to the reservoir. I think I posted it in Dale's build thread.

Hi cheese, I may have an original seat base kicking around in decent shape

Ridiculously nice job! One cool ride! 8) I see a BOTM winner there :)

The seat, the pipes, hell...the whole package...looks great!!!

Looks to me like you're Mayhem ;D ;D ;D

Hey Dale, Just found this...wondered where you went from the V50. That bodywork just begs to be tossed. Ugh, what were they thinking! The photoshops look awesome. as long as you have it apart...the 944or larger kits really wake this motor up. I've got a 990 kit, open airbox/K&N, and Keihin...

I've de-linked mine...the recommended master to use is the front, to keep the braking ratios close. It also fits the same mounting pattern. There is lots of info in "Guzziology" It's a worthwhile purchace

OMG! looks F#&%in' awesome ;D

Now if I could just get one of the Fucktards thats doin any one of my Daughters to come over and help me lift this Lump off the bench and onto the dolly, I can get the engine installed in the empty frame. ::) Wow, that's harsh...hope everyone is well now. If I were anywhere close I'd come...

Hey HD, Feelin your pain. I'm still polishin my Zook, work for hours on end on the buffer but it sure is purdy when it's done

Nope...wasn't sure anyone wanted to see another one of those "build by numbers" bikes. I don't have any tear down pics...only took 4 hrs to get to the bare frame. I can, if anyone's interested. I'll call it an AlumaRycaZuki. It'll be a while though as I'd like to have all the custom parts...

Was checkin' it out back in Sept/Oct...not much happening then. Just thought I'd check back. Love those modular wheels. I know what it's like spending a month of Sundays polishing something, but it looks great in the end. Marvic/Akront made some for the Superlight 900ss for a couple of years...

Prolly a question best asked in a PM ???

Hey HD, another nice build. This the one you were tryin' to decide the frame color? Oh BTW nice new avatar...haven't seen Mad in like 40 years...that's funny stuff ;D ;D

I'm pretty sure a "ring and pinion is a ring and pinion" when it comes to setting the backlash. You should be able to find a pic or illustration in any shop manual to see the contact pattern :)

Re: Moto Guzzi V50 II Cafe Hi Dale, I used 85w-140 Castrol Full Synthetic even though they said the moly doesn't stay mixed...160cc oil, 10cc moly. I measured it out.
