Doesn't the lock have the # on it? You just tell them that # and they can make the key. No need to send in lock assy. Got one for an SP1000 gas tank that way. Had only 1 key for the Eldo so got a spare blank from Key-men and had a local hardware store cut it. Web site even tells you what # range each key blank covers.

The Fiamms came with some longer chromed steel brackets. But, they were
a little too long for what I wanted and were a little flimsy. The
brackets I'm making now will be painted mild steel. Charlie, I think
you'll be in much better shape with the angle "iron".
Charlie Mullendore wrote:
Hi Greg, My brackets are aluminum, but are only approx. 1" square. I've been kinda' checking them after each ride for just the reason you mention. Been carrying a pair of vinyl-covered metal clamps to fit around the crashbars in an emergency if they do fail. My Hellas came with the usual multiple layer "leaf-spring" brackets, these bolt up to my homemade jobs - did the Fiamms come with them? I've seen the "snail type" horns in that location with the leaf-spring mounts without problems. Cheers, Greg Bender wrote:

Hey all,
A shout out any and all in the MI,OH,IN, inhabitants. The Gilmore Car
Museum will be having it's annual vintage motorcycle show. I will be
attempting to break my long standing record of failed attempts of
acually seeing what this thing is about. Last year the bike caught
fire:-) the year before that torrental downpours turned us into
barflies, I think the year before that I was hungover, & I don't
remember trhe year before that. Anyways,I HEAR it's pretty cool.
A link(hopefully):
http://www.gilmorecarmuseum.org
This is put on by the BMW Club of Battle Creek, Supposed to be demo
rides,swapmeet, ect. runs from 9-6 and $7.00.
The museum pretty much smack dab in the middle of K-zoo & Battle Creek,
only north a bit, like the top of a priamid....thing..
What do you want from me! I already said I've never been there!
I have Sam working on a route, so if the ride sucks.... blame him.
If you live out that way we can meet up along the way or out there at
the museum(If we/I make it). If you live in metrodetroit and want to
ride with us(3-5 so far) email me. Either meeting at my house or a
restuarant depending on how many people apply for the position. If we
meet at a restaurant, plan on 7am on road by 8. I have bands I want to
see back here in Detroit at 5pm.
Just remember:
If Kev Graf ain't happy, nobody's happy.......

Subject: RE: aluminum horn brackets
My thinking is that a bit of flexing via the "leaf spring" type brackets
may prevent my little alum. angle brackets from cracking. Kept the holes
very close together (so close in fact one bolt head had to be ground
nearly to half size to clear the other) in an effort to keep any stress
centered in the "beefiest" area of the alum. angle. If they fail, I'll
remake them in stainless. Sophia (even with one injured cylinder) was
lots smoother than the '69 for some reason. From time to time I would
watch and lightly touch the horns to try and get an idea of how much
they vibrate and they don't seem to very much. The Hellas are pretty
heavy which might help dampen the vibes some also. Time will tell...

It's just a hole thru the plunger inside. No special release valve or

Does the 5 speed transmission breather plug have some sort of mechanism
in it to prevent oil from just puking out all the time? Mine appeared to
be gunked up so I shot some air through it and something flew out never

Hi Ted,
No, it doesn't have any one-way valve or anything else inside. If you
have the type with the hose barb on it, just attach a piece of hose
about 1' long to it and run it up under the seat and attach it to a
frame tube or such. The hose will serve to keep the lube in and any
foreign matter (except maybe a very small, very determined bug) out.
cheers,

1. Need keys for the ignition switch. Have some key blanks I bought at
VMD last year but have yet to find a good local locksmith to cut them.
Did I remember a post about "Keymen" (think that's their name) cutting

just use the new switch I didn't use on the '69, I guess. But would like
to use as many of the parts that came with the bike as possible.
2. Have a little light rust inside the gas tank and on the frame in
several areas. What to use (won't be repainting the frame)? Just want to
remove (or convert) the rust and prevent it's return. Naval jelly? Or?
Anyone used the product Rustol from Sudco in a tank? Any other
suggestions welcome. Thanks y'all,

On my truck list most swear by POR for tank cleaning/repair. The other
is using phosphoric acid. This converts rust to iron phosphate which is
neutral. I personally like this route, but haven't figured out where to
buy it.

It's a quality tire and has never given me any "exciting" moments. it
has half the tread of a normal rear tire and therefore half the
lifespan. I have always had a second modern Guzzi while running these
tires. My speedometer runs backwards so I can't give you a milage #.
6K would be my guess based on oil changes.

Hi Bob,
This weekend in Westfield at the Westfield-Lake Erie KOA. Looks like
Exit 60 off of the I-90 (NY St. Thruway). I ride in from Jamestown on
394 then north on 5. Cheers,

Get rid of the rust! What for? It adds to the character and gives a great
patina. Just clear coat over it. :)

Not going to start on the '70 Ambo project for a few weeks yet, but
wanted to "get my ducks in row" for it. So, a few questions:
1. Need keys for the ignition switch. Have some key blanks I bought at
VMD last year but have yet to find a good local locksmith to cut them.
Did I remember a post about "Keymen" (think that's their name) cutting
keys for locks with none? Any other sources welcome also. Could also
just use the new switch I didn't use on the '69, I guess. But would like
to use as many of the parts that came with the bike as possible.
2. Have a little light rust inside the gas tank and on the frame in
several areas. What to use (won't be repainting the frame)? Just want to
remove (or convert) the rust and prevent it's return. Naval jelly? Or?
Anyone used the product Rustol from Sudco in a tank? Any other
suggestions welcome. Thanks y'all,
Charlie

Thanks guys. I guess mine really was plugged up and whatever
shot out of it deserves to be lost in the corner of my garage.
Now I need to get a vent hose. Something I didn't need before
since I had a piece of crap keeping everything in for me.

| Hi Ted, No, it doesn't have any one-way valve or anything else inside. If you have the type with the hose barb on it, just attach a piece of hose about 1' long to it and run it up under the seat and attach it to a frame tube or such. The hose will serve to keep the lube in and any foreign matter (except maybe a very small, very determined bug) out. cheers, |
