Greg,

Do you have any information on how he did this exactly? Sounds like a good
plan to do.

 I have. There were two in Moto International last week. All the new Cal
series with the crossover looping around the alternator apparently have
hydraulics.

We started one, and it was eerily quiet, just like Bob Nolan's hydraulic
Eldo. I poked around, and it looks like they drilled the oil feed
passages into the bosses added way back in 1972, just like Bob did. I'm
hoping to update my bikes with the Guzzi parts, if that's possible.
