Wow, Jeff, did that catch me off-guard! Unfortunatly, I would need a
little time to make some space for it... Any guesstimates on what
shipping would be from wherever you are to Indianapolis? I have forever
and a day wanted to build a Guzzi super-tourer based loosely on JT
Nesbitt's "Mopackel" bike (Iron Horse magazine, 1994-1999). While I
always thought reverse head Guzzis were silly, and had serious
deficiencies in the thermal displacement area,(when he finished it, he
was constantly catching his pants legs on fire... the Eldorado stretched
4 inches looked so cool, like it would be a phenominal 2-up with gear
bike. The cost of having a extended drive shaft machined up has made me
think that perhaps building a trike is in my future. I have forks, and
I'm thinking maybe a Toyota truck rear axle assembly.....Ummm, you got
any dime a dozen anvils or post-vices laying around? (smiley emoticon
