Re: Tarozzi brake arm repair/replace

BTW I do have another 3 1/2 sport which has one-off footrests where the LHS one folds forward so that the kickstart can be used without problems. It's a simple solution but means the footrests are about 6" further forward than the tarozzi ones. Doesn't that put it back where the standard ones ...

Re: Tarozzi brake arm repair/replace

I'll add a +1 to the, "They can be welded". When I bought mine it had clearly been dropped and the gear lever snapped. Previous owner had lost the broken bit and bolted the pedal to what was left. Okay for down changes but needed a size 2 foot to change up. Local man in shed rebuilt the wh...

It's still an all or nothing design though whereas I think he wants a partial choke option.

Re: Looking for a certain youtube vid with Morini content

He wasn't hanging about for an old lad with no gloves and his slip on shoes!

Looks like he passed away 6 years ago. I wonder where those bikes are now?

Re: Avon Trailrider tyres, suitability for a Kanguro?

The only problem I encountered was once following my deflating the rear then after re-inflating the tyre was no longer concentric on the rim and despite best efforts ( tyre soap, over pressure bouncing the wheel etc) would not reseat.

Re: What else got a solenoid-operated petcock?

I seem to remember Le Mans 850s getting them - I may have that worng? Did anything else - including modern stuff - ever see a 12V solenoid a la Morini? I've had several Guzzis and currently have a Mk 2 Le Mans. Always had manual taps. I think the Convert (Automatic) may have had a solenoid or vacuu...

Re: 250 2C Seat

Is it the same or completely different from the 350 seat? I do have a spare Sport seat.
