Hi Gunnar,
I've been following some of the threads you've had on Wild Guzzi...good
to have you here, too. Great website!...and thanks for the link to my
site. As others have mentioned those pictures will come in handy.
I noticed that you mentioned that that oil was at least 20 years old,
but that you weren't planning to replace the seals. If the seals are
also at least 20 years old (and I assume that the bike hasn't been
ridden in that long, either), then I would highly recommend that you
replace the seals. If you don't, I predict that they are dry and that
you will have to go back in and replace them later. How do I know this?
:>
Anyway, you look to be having lot's of fun. I wish you the best and
really envy the smile you'll have on your face when you get finished.

Hi Everyone, Someone told me about this Discussion List for Loopframes and I thought I am going to check on it since I am a new proud owner of a 1972 Eldo. The bike is in the restauration phase and I might have some questions for the more familliar to the bike folks. Anyway, here is my web page with progress pictures. I plan to have the bike on the road by spring next year and am really looking forward to riding it. Gunnar (72Guzzi) http://www.72guzzi.2ya.com/ |
