Thanks for all the info. Rivets hold the steel hub on, that explains why even flywheels without the starter drum have rivets. I emailed Stuart, awaiting his reply. One thing I asked him, "Is each flywheel balanced to its respective engine, or are they interchangeable?" It does have both se...

Considering removing the functioning electric start from my 501 Excalibur, and would like to locate the smaller non-e start cover to replace it, in either black or natural. As for the Ducati flywheel, supposedly I can just drill the rivets off, remove the starter drum and use it as is. Unless anyone...

I haven't seen any others like this on the net. Was it an Italian-market-only hybrid?

Don't have one for direct comparison, but from the pictures I've seen, the Camel/Kanguro frame looks to be identical to the Excalibur's, minus the peg brackets, mounting tabs, etc. Can anyone confirm this? Just looking at another possible route for potentially morphing my Excalibur into something el...

Curious to hear if you've mounted the new silencers, and if you've had to rejet.

Thanks EV, all good info. It is strange that only with the pilots have I found inaccuracies, and these were jets I ordered from the American Dell'Orto importer. I believe it was Morizzi who said his 500 Sei wouldn't run with the jets I listed, but it has taken these sizes (however out of spec they r...

I've tweaked the jets even more since my last jetting post. Here goes... Toyed around with 40 and 50 slides, finally settling on the as-supplied 50 slides, best all around, especially once I got the idle/pilot jets figured out. Regarding the pilots, I was still experiencing a mild lean surge at 1/8 ...

Does anyone know how much a 500/507 engine w/electric start weighs? Since coming across a 3 1/2 or 500 frame is impossible out here in the Northwest USA, I'm tossing around the idea of transplanting my Excalibur's 507 into a different rolling chassis.

So Boris, have any of these comments helped you decide what to do with it? My only complaint with the handling has to do with headshake upon decel. With two hands on the bars or one firmly gripping, it's not a problem, but if I let go or relax my grip and chop the throttle, a progressively-worsening...

Having replaced the cambelt on my 507, I can second the statement that it's a clockwise rotation from the right side.

Buncha haters... :wink: Being an Excalibur owner, I can relate to the pleasure I get from just riding it, especially now that I've finally got the new carbs sorted. I replaced the very 80's rectangular headlight with a 7" roundy, and the large pullbacks with drag T-bars, which have given a litt...

During my 4-month hiatus from commenting on this thread, the weather has improved to allow more continual riding and testing. But of course, as the temps have risen, so has the tune of these carbs, which has been rather frustrating at times. I owned three dead-stock Guzzis, a V7 Sport with VBH30s, a...

I ordered and installed a new 39-tooth rear sprocket this past week. Had to cut 4 links off the chain so it would fit with proper play within the adjusters. Now it's towards the forward edge. Took it out for a test ride. The appoximate 1" shorter wheelbase isn't evident, however the rear suspen...

Rereading my own post made me realize I was shanghai-ing a carb discussion into a gearbox one. Sorry. Back to the carbs, I'm wondering based upon your bike's settings and your feedback to mine, if I should bump my mains up to 118s (the largest I have on hand). I did notice a difference going from 11...

Rod, Apologies to all for polluting the 500 page with 501 Excalibur info, but there's not much participation on the customs page, and this helps keep the thread alive. As I mentioned about the cold weather contributing to my current jetting, I also think the short close-ratio 6 speed and final drive...
