Thanks Steve,
I've been chatting with Kennie at Buchanan and I think we have it sorted-out. I'm going to have a go at tuning the rear rim myself, it's going to be slightly shorter on one side due to the difference in the Guzzi hub.
As for tires, I realize you recommend going on the narrow side of ...

860 GT Borrani Rim/Tire Upgrade question
I've acquired a set of Borrani WM-3 alloy rims off a Guzzi Convert with the intention of replacing the stock rims.
I know the front rim will work fine as the hubs are exactly the same, but my concern is the rear rim - mostly as to whether they will have the right angle at the dimple.
I currently ...

Re: Reconditioning brake rotors
Thanks!
I may send them off (I'm in upper Midwest).
I had the rotors hydro-blasted and they look great. The advice I was given from a local Vintage Duc shop is to not bother turning them, I may have them do the drilling, and then paint myself.
Any advice on paint? I usually use an enamel for ...

Determining Velocity Stack Height
How do you determine the proper height of velocity stacks? I have 32mm Delorto carbs, 860GT, 10:1 compression.

Re: 860 GT mystery repair
Thanks for the responses guys. It was recommended that I dig it out so that I could determine whether or not it was repairable - but I can't see anything wrong. Even if it were repairable it would be tricky down in the groove. There was a bit of oil behind one part of the plug so I believe it does ...

860 GT mystery repair
I'm in the process of rebuilding my 860GT square case and I've come upon what I believe may be an attempted repair. It looks like someone filled-in the area on the lower right side of the motor with epoxy - I can only assume this is a oil leak repair.
Since I have the motor apart I'd like to fix it ...

Fork upgrade recommendations - 860GT
I'm currently building a Imola replica from a '75 860GT, and I'd like to upgrade the forks a bit as I intend to ride the bike pretty hard. The stock Cerrani's look like they'll leave me disappointed when pushing the bike through it's paces.
