Re: Clunky Forks on early Strada

Sounds like the forks topping out because of too much spring preload , For ride height you should have the front end sag about a quarter of the suspension travel with you sitting on the bike. if the preload is OK, get thinner oil , and add until the front end dive when braking is acceptable.

Re: Performance issue

as mentioned before . probable culprits are carbs and ignition.
set the ignition with the strobe on full advance.

If that fails , i have seen quite a few leaking exhaust valves , so a compression check should rule that out

Re: New 3 1/2 at Eicma show

anyway there are not that many sporty 350 v-twins on the market ,
so i like that , never mind the name plate.

Not sure it will be a big succes , selling a premium 350 cc twin was never easy.
most 350 are bought for commuting

Re: Replacement carburettors

the 34 is the venturi diameter , 34 would be too big for a morini , but they are available in other , smaller diameters. the stock guzzi has a 30 mm phf dellorto , but it is too small for the 650 engine. the bigger dellorto's were expensive , so gave the mikuni's a try. i was thinking of using the Z...

Re: 500 valves on 350 heads?

I have a bike with a 426 motor (501 top end on a 350 bottom end) and it goes very well indeed, great fun to ride, gutsy and direct tho a bit highly strung. It revs like a two stroke and feels faster than the 501 Excalibur I have although that is still in restricted form. I have a 375 with old style...

Re: Ive bought an early 3 1/2 Sport !

you might look for guzzi le mans /lario/imola2 clipons , they are just a bit higher, getting the handlebars above the top clamp without ruining the looks.

Re: Front fork leg’s alternatives?

Thanks for your suggestions. I have a possibility to pick up a set from a cagiva sst250 for a reasonable price. I guess the chance for a propper fitment, is as good or bad as a set from a Pantah. I think I'll give a try.. check the diameter , i have a set from a cagiva that are 32 mm diameter inste...

if you are not desperate about originality , i fitted 80 mm VDO glass and bezels to my 350 sport Cheap on ebay. but a slightly different profile and you need to file off half a mm from the rim https://drive.google.com/file/d/10zHdbbUjQqH3dNQ9-1bC0kNJDqNBmQqJ/view you can simply bend in the backside ...

Re: Tank badges

they are clipped into the tank ( push fit) ,like the side cover badges. but usually the springs from the clips are rusted. i 'm not a aware of a subtle way to remove them , just brute force , or carefully cut them off. i just fill the holes in the tank , and use silicone kit to fit them after painting
