It IS all I have to cling too but I have some of Shelracing's (now this is thread-relevant) info on Loncin FXR-beating tuning.
I betcha my Lady Penelope LongChin has more carbon-fibre on it than Team Loncin's very low-achieving 125 GP racer
Sorry Shelracing to hijack your thread.
"...you meet the weirdest people riding a Guzzi !!..."
Well since you're all here killing time waiting for the next update.
Here's a quickie update. I've got forks done, new seals oil etc Had issue with te TZ front wheel had to machine the wheel to get bearings to fit the 15mm FZ axle. Front wheel all in sweet. Then found the front caliper won't fit as it fouls the disc, bollocks I said.
Have made some adapter plates, so I think it's sorted now. I'll have to paint the adapter plates cos I made them out of steel and they'll rust and look like shit in no time.
Problem is Wobbler won't let me anywhere near a spray can. She says last time I painted some brackets we were still waiting for them to dry a week later, apparently, I put the 2nd layers on before the first dried. That must be true then for the 3rd and 4th layers too then![]()
I have someone welding an alloy flange for me for the curved inlet manifold. I have mounted the carb to a straight manifold, but as I suspected it fouls the exhaust.
However if I get the welding done by tomorrow I'm hoping to get the bike running over the weekend.
Post up some more pics soon... In the mean time feel free to ramble on fellas
this is a cool project... because its about an fxr150 motor!

I think a Loncin Racing website might be needed.....
"...you meet the weirdest people riding a Guzzi !!..."
Me thunks Pumba may not be appreciative of the fine characteristics of the championship-winning Loncin engine, despite it being made from recycled dog-food cans (Chinese ones of course) .....
Hmm,..the website is an idea alright. Afterall, there is quite a few coming on the scene now and Fi5hy did take the Wellington Bucket championship for 2008 on a stock-standard engine !!!
"...you meet the weirdest people riding a Guzzi !!..."
No I am very respectfull of the engines, shit Steves has passed me on the track more times than I care to remeber.
Its just that they are so easy to make fun of, I mean you would better off to walk round with a target on your arse and a sign saying kick me, bit like honda riders

Hey I own a Guzzi too, there's target # 2 !!!!
"...you meet the weirdest people riding a Guzzi !!..."
Shit man - you're making such an easy target...
