Spent the past weekend (damned near all of it) detailing Giuseppe.
Got my tube of Wenol Thursday; started polishing Friday and I'm not done
yet. Best method for cleaning is to use 4 aught (000) steel wool with
Wenol 1st, then finish up with a Dremel buffing wheel and wenol. Have
done the front wheel assembly, gen belt cover, and valve covers - along
with all the chrome.
I'm almost outta polish, FWIW.
The bike is looking GREAT! Re-did my valve clearances and took Giuseppe
out for an extended ride Sunday. I'm a little disappointed in the HP
output; had hoped the bike had more beans. It's not bad, though; about
as fast as a late model Mustang GT.
I really like the way it motors along at 60 MPH - feels like it could
roll on forever.
I have a low rez pic (taken by a cell phone) if anyone is interested in
seeing one righteous Guzzi. Next step is to throw a set of wide whites
on the bike - which brings up a question...
What size tire?
