Hi All,

I'm not sure if this is old information but I remember looking in a Moto =
Spezial catalogue (German company) and seeing a new CalIII motor in =
there. I think the price was 3,900 marks. I believe that the US dollar =
is a little stonger.

I'm not sure what comes with that motor, if the price is the same, or =
whether the availability was there but I thought I would post the info =
to the list in case anyone was interested in starting a project like =
Tom's.

Hope this info is helpful...(and relatively accurate).

Regards...Ian

Brad, I had mark at mg classics do mine and it is surprsingly easy. =
You need to take the front of the engine, timing cover with the mounting =
off the old eldo and install it on the square fin. Mine was a cal 3 =
motor. This allowed original mounting position and allowed use of the =
generator which I liked because it is so servicable. Mark has an =
adaptor to mount the pully to the crank on the new motor. One of the =
transmission studs where it bolts to the engine has to be replaced with =
a bolt to clear the newer carbs. The side panels must be trimmed just =
slightlly on the front (not noticable at all)/ I updated mine with a =
dyna III and dyna coils instead of points. Used pod air cleaners instead =
of stock. That's all that I can think of. Sent you a couple of pics =
also. Stock swing arm and mounting. This bike is fast and is too good =
for its brakes. It handles well, is smoother than any guzzi I have =
ridden. Be sure to check with mark as he had several people ride it =
before I could get to Cali. Tom=20
