Here's a seat I like for inspiration. I had a brown suede seat on my (now gone) Motto Guzzi V11 Tenni. It came stock! Thought it looked cool. I understand many racers back in the day used suede for better ass grip.

Some more progress...

Image
Evaporust!

Image
Inside the tank. Not too bad considering the condition of the bike when I bought it.

Image
Image
Used this plumbing pipe plug to plug up things.

Image
Rubber stopper on the other end.

Image
After the Evaporust.

Image
Image
Image
Mocking up the tailight bracket


Image
Chemdip!

Image
Image
40 year old 350 cylinders. Left cylinder in the mail on its way.

Image
Center cylinder fits nice in the chemdip. To bad the right didn't fit.

Image
Head comparison after glass beeds

Image
Heads and cylinders cleaned up.

Image
Image
Carbs rebuilt. Manifolds cleaned up.

Seat's being upholstered. Should have it back within the week. Well, that's it for now!

Are the rebuild kits really bad news? I've heard good and bad about them. I bought my kits from Reproduction Decals. With all the negative reviews, I wonder why they sell them? Maybe I should buy genuine pilot, main jets and needle. There's nothing worse than trying to tune-up a bike when the carbs are screwed up. :thumbdown:
