thanks for uploading these Guzzi videos! wondering if your headlight array was custom ordered? not seeing it on other California II bikes but thought that configuration would be amazing even before seeing your bike...

Thanks for your comment. The dealer that originally sold the bike made customizations: the light assembly, side pipes, saddle bags and a few more. That dealership closed several years ago so I can’t ask for any more details. The biggest mod in my mind were the side pipe exhausts but they were super noisy. I did not even notice that I lost a pipe on the highway.

Thanks for your feedback. Initially I tried to do the mechanical set points to maintain an original setup but since the set points don’t really fit I went for electronic. I rather drive than repair ;). The Nissan is my son’s car. Unfortunately he doesn’t have the time to work on it so it’s just sitting there but I agree, it’s a nice ride.

Hallo! Canning Salt ist das FALSCHE SALZ. Das macht man mit Nitritpökelsalz das in Deutschland mit 0,4-0,5% Nitrit gesetzlich geregelt ist. In Amerika hat das ein ganz anderes Mischverhältnis, das ist viel konzentrierter und viel gefählicher! Bitte das Video löschen.
@2lefthands769
@2lefthands769 7 ай бұрын
Also canning Salt beinhaltet 0% nitrit, deshalb wird der leberkäse auch grau und nicht schön rosa wie mit pökelsalz. Canning salt ist ein quasi ganz normales Salz jedoch ohne die üblichen Zusätze (Jod und anti-Klump-Zusätze) weil diese Zusätze die Flüssigkeit der Salzlake trübe machen würde. Dennoch danke für den Hinweis da bei bestimmten roh-Würsten das nitrit wichtig ist (hatte ich vorher nicht gewusst)

What happened is that when I programmed it again the other day, when I touched the normal/negative buttons, there was a short circuit. I changed the fuse and it happened again....

when I clean the needles I put them in a empty jam jar, add surgical spirit & a few drops of gun oil, put the lid on and let them soak over night with the occasional shake. it's amazing how much crud comes off those needles. these are wonderful machines. even if the electronics are not working they make wonderful ribs and manual stitch patterns. if you are going to replace the brake spring. that is also a great time to clean the needles. much easier to remove & replace them with the spring taken out.

hi there- watching your video- I have a Moto Guzzi v65c, 1984 - i believe it has the same engine. Bought it for $500 U.S. dollars. Engine was completely locked up, due to sitting for years. I'm going to throw in new bearings, lapped the valves whatever else I can to make it a solid running bike. I saw your comment about a dynatec ignition- did you buy the coils also that go with it or just the electric ignition...thing? I read in the "Guzziology" book the author talking about throw those points in the trash and buy the electric ignition system- Curious about what the difference is of electric vs. new points
@2lefthands769
@2lefthands769 Жыл бұрын
Congrats to your Guzzi. I first tried to fix the ignition with traditional parts so I bought coils, condensers and points. The points were original guzzi parts however they did not match the original geometry. After a lot of filing holes larger I got it close but not right. You can also read this in guzzi forums so I assume it’s a common problem. The Dyna worked right away and with the new coils I already had. I can‘t really say if the Dyna works better than my old original points because I can‘t remember how it ran 2 years ago. I hope this answers your question.
