David, Upon seeing your picture, I see you have the longer Lafranconi's vs the smaller "torpedo" mufflers on mine. The tapered profile allow the axle and tire/wheel to slide out without muffler removal. |
It's an old picture. I now have the torpedos with crossover that I
bought from MG Cycle. I used to just remove one of the slashcuts in the
picture to get the wheel out. Now I have to drop both because they are
linked at the crossover. I don't know if the stockers had to be dropped
to remove the axle. Guzzi was very aware of this problem and designed
special cutouts in the early Tontis to accommodate axle removal.
