Moto Guzzi Rally - Tattley Rappet

[dangerous]

A Guzzi picker-upper?/

Yip.. and the business went broke... smart arse Hogley rider

So just finished my winter over haul, run around the block next and a detail and ready for summer and the rally.
Dont think any of you other v11 guys have a 04 aye? the cross over pipe is a shit, to get to the alt it needs removing and never seals again, but I devised a plan and that is to get a tie down and pull the two headers hard togeather then tighten every thing.. ohh and as other v11 owners ill find the alt cover gets a hiding from the frount wheel so I gave it a repaint.

Does the cross-over pipe actually make that much difference, DD ?

Balance pipe? I did read once the reason for them, look back at older modles and most have had them of some sort, nowdays we have the cross over under the engine, IIRC the balance pipe brings beter responce down low down. buggereed if I know

I'm having issues with the cam followers for it, now unobtanium and the metal is some weird shit they can't get a coating to stick to that will survive machining. Lucky for me it is only one of the 4 out of spec with some scoring on the cam face.
Got my crankshaft back and they did not machine the correct bevel after undersizing which is really importand otherwise they crack or or heaven forbid break- so they are having another go
Then it has to go to Dr Bob for balancing...then I can reassemble the motor and from there it is all down hill...

Should have bought a modern one eh?

Nah...

Fear not Dangerous!! Imagine it on black or red - trust me, all will be well....keep your eyes peeled for the T-Shirt version (as soon as I can get my hands on it) we had a bit of fun with that one...

I was in contact with Miles only a few weeks back as we were going to do this rally old school. He only had a few bits of wiring to finish on his Falcone... and he was ribbing me about the state of undress my Ambo is in right now.
He was a nice guy, so talented in engineering, such a shame.



On the positive front, I have found the one and only supplier that has cam followers.
At $75 each, I'm glad I only need one... better still it is a US company so a few other goodies went in the bag as well. The exchange rate is too tempting not to.
