Re: 2018 All Italian Day Car & Motorcycle Show
I ended up missing this, but many of my friends went. It was a good turnout this year. Hope to catch some of y'all at next year's.

Wheel surprises
Hey folks, I was trouble shooting my carbs in the other subforum and pulled my wheels to replace my tires the day before a 500+ mile ride. Discovered the bearings were frozen. Short on time, I sourced some bearings at my local bearing shop and dropped off the wheels and bearings at my friend's shop ...

Re: Overflowing Carb
Alright, it's been a while since I posted. Bike is running decently, but I'm losing a cylinder on occasion. Ordering a Sachse ignition and will seek assistance if I can't get the carbs balanced perfectly after that. Thanks again for all the help. Here is a pic of the bike on the 49 Mile Ride in San ...

Re: Overflowing Carb
Thanks, Steve! I knew that was the case, but I have a local bearing shop here that I love an excuse to go to. I'll post up in the other section about my experience... it was far from ideal, but everything is buttoned back up now and I'll be on the road after I dig out torque specs from the manual.

Re: Overflowing Carb
The gas was freely flowing when I got it, and previous owner said he had been riding it pretty consistently... but yes, I think you are right, time to look into the tank a bit more. On a worse note, I took the wheels off this morning for new tires and found that the front and back bearings where sei...

Re: Overflowing Carb
Hey all, Thanks for all the feedback. It turns out the crazy leaking carb that I went through twice was only a quarter of the problem. It was solved by a new seat and needle that corrected the float height. The main leak was an ill-seating fuel banjo that was fixed by a closer eye and a delrin. It a...

Aluminum Intake Manifolds
I love these new parts to replace the old rubber! However, I want to carry a spare set of o-rings with me, just in case I do some roadside work on the bike end lose an o-ring. Does anyone have the specs for the o-rings that accompany these intakes? I'd rather not take them off to measure! I'm runnin...

Re: '75 860GT in San Francisco
Thank you for the parts manual images. I took this picture about a week ago to post up to show where I thought the frame was cut, and this confirms it. The paint is quite well done (or should I say it is as well done as the rest of the frame paint) in the area that was cut. I wonder how many other G...

Re: Overflowing Carb
Yep, got all the right pieces in place, the banjos just have some difficulty seating properly on that carb. I've injured my leg and can't kick the bike over at the moment, but I should have another update soon. I was able to take the bike out for a spin last weekend without too much issue, so baby s...

Re: '75 860GT in San Francisco
Ah, cheers for clearing all that up (as much as is possible with such a timeline). I know that this bike was abandoned at one point, and the previous owner did a lot of work to get it back in order. It had the GTS tank on it when he picked it up, but he made no mention of the stainless steel fenders...

Re: Overflowing Carb
Thanks for all the feedback folks. I've tried swapping the banjos and the same carb leaks every time. I made my own measurement tool to confirm the 18mm float height setting and measured according the the sideways diagram that BH/Steve shares. I used the correct fiber washer between the seat and car...

Re: 2018 All Italian Day Car & Motorcycle Show
I've usually been there on a Vespa or Lambretta, occasionally a modern Ducati. Looking forward to bringing the new bevel. Hope to me some other from the forum.
