Hi all,
here's how to make an affordable retroGuzzi.
1) Get a loopframe bike. 850 disk brake model preferred
2) get a 1000cc engine
3) get a 850 T swing-arm/rear wheel and rear drive unit
Now, put the 850 crank into the 1000 block, and reassemble.(850 and 1k have
the same stroke)add generator to engine.
Put the T swing arm into the loopframe. Add T rear drive and wheel.
You now have a fast loopframe bike with cush drive and good brakes to pull
ya down from those high speeds.This is what I am gonna do with my 'spare'
bike.
I know that this is a little simplified, but you get the idea. It works,too!
