According to our wise West Coast Guzzi God, you can either dent in the
fender on the back slightly to accommodate the alternator or give it some
rake. He said something else about moving the rear fender stay up an inch or
so as I believe that was what actually interfered. Mark can correct me on
this if I am mistaken. This is the same plan I have for the T3 and Eldo
right now.

A lot or a little? Only under fork compression or at stand still? Dpending on the answers above you could: Make an abbreviated alternator cover. There is probably a little room to be gotten there. But will that affect the cooling of the alternator? Snug the fender up to the tire or run a different/shortened fender. Again probably not a lot of gain there and more road grime on the bike if the latter is pursued. Move the motor back. More pain than is worth. Move the front end out. However you do that it will affect the handling. Just a couple degrees of rake could gain you a lot of room though. Remove the alternator. I understand that the bosses to mount the generator are still on the block casting. (I could be wrong) Seems that it is *possible* to mount an alternator there. Someone attempted it on my junkyard T-3, but they did a really bad job of it. Including cutting the rotor in half to stick a pulley on it *shudder*. I think the main problems would be 1)getting the gen/alt pulley out far enough to clear the timing cover. 2) putting a pulley on the crank. How did Mark approach this when he put the modern motor in the loop frame? Fun stuff to think about on a cold, wet boring day at work. -----Original Message----- From: EldoMike [mailto:msse-@classicguzzi.com] Sent: Friday, March 15, 2002 6:34 AM To: loopframe list Subject: Eldovert ============================================================ Find the Best Web Designers & Developers at Elance ** *Web Design *** Flash Animation *** Web Programming *** Post Your Web Development Project for FREE.

My first thought is to put in a slight rake... EldoMike www.classicguzzi.com ============================================================ Create your own tax cut!
