NAIL
The major one
is the cylinder head. This has been welded-up and machined to a bathtub shape
with a squish band, based on the design used in a classic Triumph endurance
racer (Dave Degens?). The head has also been twin-plugged. It has new and much
lighter valves with springs of a matching rating. All courtesy of The Cylinder
Head Shop.The engine runs, but needs adjustment. What it needs is someone with
a lathe or a Humbermate to skim the head or barrel down to the proper squish
clearance. Once this is set, there may be a need to adjust the lash caps on the
valve stems to bring the adjusters into the right range. It also needs the
drain plug on the right fork leg to be fitted with a new seal (I have spare
ones of those too).
The engine
has a new piston, rings and liner. The bike comes with a load of spares. These
include a larger piston, spare liner, higher-capacity oil pump, head bearings,
various gaskets and so on. It also comes with some of the special tools, which
include the flywheel puller, fork-leg spanner and ignition-timing quadrant. I also
have a complete electronic ignition set for it, plus a new twin-outlet coil.
And some new transfers. Plus a home-made pillion seat. And the manual and parts
list. And you can also have the SU carb that I was planning to fit next. The
bike is fitted with a Carabinieri handlebar fairing and leg shields plus
indicators. The tyres are good and it has a chain oiler. Oh, and a grease
nipple for the swinging-arm pivots. It's currently fitted with a Harley
silencer, but comes with a spare Norton (perhaps) one and the
original but
rusty Moto Guzzi affair.
This bike is
one of the more developed road-going New Falcons. The Km speedo has gone round
the clock, meaning that it's done about 60,000 miles. It's done the National
Rally for a Gold. I passed my Advanced Motorcycling test on it. It's boring on
motorways but a total hoot on the Yorkshire Dales roads near me.
I want £2000
for it. It needs someone who can take-up the story and keep developing it. See www.realclassic.co.uk/guzzi030218.html
or www.devce.demon.co.uk/falcone.htm
for more details and pictures. Give me a call on 01765 600629 and I'll answer
your questions.
