Cracking job . . well done!

Any idea of wheelbase now? Is it just standard + 100mm, or do the forks have an effect too?
I have taken the GS off my lift to do some work on the Guzzi,oil change ,a few oil leaks and fit a sump extension I have been given.I am going to the dragon rally next month and would like to take the Guzzi,but have my 1200 as a back up if my plan goes pear shaped
Top job.
How´s the SP Project ?
I have extended my swing arm by 75mm and have used the original spring shock absorber,I did not see any advantage in removing the spring.Superb work
Please teatch me about one thing
When everybody made a longer swing arm, they trash the spring on the drive shaft. Why ?
I've put a springed drive shaft and swing arm on a /5, up and down shift goes without the "klong", softer gear changes that is for me better on mud trails.
So for me this spring shock gives some good thing. So why trash it ?
I didn't use plans just made it up as I went along,I used ordinary 6mm Perspex for the window,bought the .gloves on beat for a tenner .THe light inside is a battery powered strip light from B&Q,I also have a slotted 40mm plastic pipe in the top of the cabinet connected to a vacumn cleaner for dust extraction,the door is going to be fitted with a seal as the dust does escape .Thanks for the comment about the bike,nearly finished now.I rather like the blasting cabinet. Did you have a set of plans or a dimensioned drawing or do you just make it up? Just ordinary perspex for the window? What about the long rubber gloves? Internal light? Did you fit a seal to the side door to prevent dust escaping? The bike is excellent BTW.
Nearly finished now,only the wiring and a few odds and ends left to do,I'm pretty good at mechanical and fabrication jobs,but find electrics a dark art,so I have the "Ferret" coming in on Monday to do a complete rewrite using a custom built loom
Not sure really,I've got about £3000 in it so far and hundreds of hours labour and machining.That Sir is a fantastic bike,what do you think its worth?...
