Hi All,
As I have decided to buy a customer's '78 LeMans 1, I decided to give the MGCL another chance. Looked on Topica last night, but failed to find it. Did they move somewhere else?
I'm not getting rid of anything to get this LeMans, just doing some creative financing. It will fill the empty Sportbike spot in my garage. I nearly bought a '78 Lemans as my first Guzzi ever, but was only 19 and financially unable to swing it. I guess I'm trying to go back and get the one the got away (sort of). So in 2002 it looks like it will be: '69 Ambo for Classic/Touring, '77 R100RS for Sport-touring, '78 LeMans 1 for my Sportbike, and the '87 Cagiva 350 Ala Rossa for Dual-Sport riding.
Kinda weird working on a Tonti framed bike after the Ambos and Eldos. The LeMans is quite modified, some of it nicely done, some of it not. It's been converted to a monoshock rear suspension and has Marzocchi internals in the front fork (so I've been told). I'm not sure if it will stay monoshock, the shock is an air-spring unit and is very difficult to keep at the correct pressure. I may just go back to good quality dual shocks. It will definitely need to be rewired as there is no keyed ignition switch, just two toggle switches (one of which is hidden and looks like an arming switch for some sort of missile) and the wire is all red. The headlight works on one beam only and the taillight not all. There's no signals (which I'll need to pass inspection) and it still has the original (cheesy) switches. It does have a Dyna III ignition, but the coils look like ones for a Chevy. In short, there's a lot of sorting to do if it's going to be reliable and safe, but I'm looking forward to the challenge. Cheers,
Charlie
