<html><DIV>Greetings fellow loopframers.</DIV>
<DIV>I am tinkering with the idea of converting my 73.5 eldo 850 to a 1000. My other eldo had this done and I was very happy with the extra torque but that bike was an unfortunate victim of serious floods and hurricanes. My 850 runs fine except for a mystery noise which may be a camshaft knock but I would like more torque if possible. My questions are............</DIV>
<DIV>Should I do it?</DIV>
<DIV>Estimated cost?</DIV>
<DIV>What should I watch out for? (Red flags)</DIV>
<DIV>Anything else???</DIV>
<DIV>Also, allow me to introduce myself to the list. My name is John in Hickory, N.C. Have ridden Guzzi eldos since the mid 1980's. Have owned 2 eldos and 1 Harley 49 Panhead plus 1 Honda cb750. Have been riding motorcycles since 1973. That's when I saw the motorcycle version of baseball cards where I saw my first Guzzi Loopframe and I have been hooked on them ever since. Thanks to everyone on the list.</DIV>
