Guzzi V50II project

[robeding]

Hello people,

a few months ago i introduced myself wen i just bought my guzzi v50,

here are some pics for people who missed that

That's was the beginning
First i removed the enginge

Got all the parts appart and start cleaning:

went to the shop and got some new cilinders and a new crankshaft, also bought all new bearrings

after that startet sandblasting and beadblasting wich is like magic to the aluminum ;D

That's all for now, will be posting pics when i got the heads back from flowing and putting the engine back together

It's been a year, what's going on with this build?

Well Wauw,
its been some years..

After buying a house, and rebuilding this. a Honda CB1 which i did not really like. i managed to get some work done on the Little Guzzi!

I was trying to start it again after 4 years... but the gearbox was stuck. so a new mini project started:
while it was put away in the corner, some moist came in the oil, or was already inside. and corroded on the gear selector.
some quick cleaning rebuilding and new oil. and it was going all smooth again!

Well, here it is, waiting for me to hook up the break lines, electrical circuit and a seat.


First i need to finish my barn, where i will have some more space to work on the V50.

I'm hoping to stay a little more motivated on my project,

Robin,
