Re: Steering lock

The same lock is used on Moto Guzzis, so try Gutsibits.

I can't watch any of his videos, or those of his former associate "The Bearded Mechanic". Please don't judge all of us in the US by him (or our political leaders). :wink:

Re: white carb floats?

In my experience (on Guzzis) the white floats are rubbish - in short order they begin to fill with gas. The black ones with the stainless bridge are the best type.

When I needed one, I turned it out on the lathe, starting with an M10 bolt.

Re: Mirror Mount

I've used these on vintage Guzzis without means to mount mirrors.

350 with the same size forks as much bigger bikes, no mystery why they have a good reputation for handling.
The forks are actually considered undersized on those Guzzis. :D

Re: Fork top bolt question...........

Looks like a standard M12 hex bit to me. <shrug> It sometimes helps to loosen the top pinch bolts before attempting to remove the top plug.

Re: MORINI (and others ) transport van/car sale

My bike hauler is 2002 T4/Eurovan w/2.8 VR6 and automatic transmission. I wish it was a diesel with manual!

Unfortunately, T5s won't be legal to import to the US for a few more years.

Re: FRONT BRAKELIGHT SWITCH FOR DRUM BARKE

The US market drum-brake 3 1/2 has a front brake switch, I'm surprised it wasn't used on all of them.
