NSR, MotoGuzzi V65 Lario 4valve, new patient..
« on: March 30, 2025, 08:56:35 PM »
Since my MG Nevada 750 is completed and  my wife is sincerely convinced that, man need to be busied, a new project was granted to me.

An abused MotoGuzzi V65 Lario 4 valve found its way into my shop and has to be converted in a Cafe Racer with a vintage touch. See first pics. Will update once in a while.

Next steps were done:
-motor out, glass pearl blasted
-primered and coated
-in again
-valves adjusted, 4V easy as 2V (before painting)
-pointers and capaciters renewed
-ignition done
fresh brainstorming because I looked up my archives and found a beautiful rear chromed/inox fender, which made me think over the cafe racer version to another, we'll see...

You must have your own blasting cabinet? I’m jealous! Motor looks like new.

It truly is a peach!  Makes me kinda wish I got that Le Mans all those years ago when I took the Triumph route.
