I've restored a few bikes, mainly Ducatis and Laverdas, built a couple of custom 'Harleys' from the ground up, a drag bike.. , in every case I go a little too far. Every bolt has to polished, the best parts have to be used, highest quality chrome, the best painter, Cosworth pistons, flowed heads, big carbs.. on and on.. when their finished, I ride them far less than I should for fear of damaging the finish. Its a habit that's difficult to break, but I'm trying..
As for Guzzi, the To DO list seemed endless, but at least the bike was on its wheels now, and I could see clear progress..
New oil lines for the engine..
Checking the cam chain tensioner, I bought an aftermarket tensioner, but didn't need it..
Cleaning up the calipers.. stainless pins would've nice, but I may upgrade the calipers for more modern 4 pot Brembos, not sure yet,so I just rebuild these for now.
I tried to rescue the throttle, as its integrated with the switch gear housing.. a weird design, but it is Italian
In the end I couldn't save it, oh, and I'd like 'Syrens' too
