I'm gonna buy a set of WW's in a metric sizes; 120/90 - 18's are
available with a 2" whitewall thru cheaptires for $85.00 delivered.

Giuseppe currently has a set of aged Avon Speedmasters in a 4.70-18
size; they look nice and fat but are cracked to beat the band.

Stock was 4.00H18, if you can't find that size anymore, I believe a
close equivalent is 120/90-18?

Spent the past weekend (damned near all of it) detailing Giuseppe.

Got my tube of Wenol Thursday; started polishing Friday and I'm not done

yet. Best method for cleaning is to use 4 aught (000) steel wool with
Wenol 1st, then finish up with a Dremel buffing wheel and wenol. Have
done the front wheel assembly, gen belt cover, and valve covers - along
with all the chrome.

I'm almost outta polish, FWIW.

The bike is looking GREAT! Re-did my valve clearances and took Giuseppe

out for an extended ride Sunday. I'm a little disappointed in the HP
output; had hoped the bike had more beans. It's not bad, though; about
as fast as a late model Mustang GT.

I really like the way it motors along at 60 MPH - feels like it could
roll on forever.

I have a low rez pic (taken by a cell phone) if anyone is interested in
seeing one righteous Guzzi. Next step is to throw a set of wide whites
on the bike - which brings up a question...

What size tire?
