Moto Guzzi 850 LeMans description

A reluctant sale of my long term Moto Guzzi custom restoration project, which took a few years and some of my life energy.

This bike started as a low mileage 850 LeMans - it was completely disassembled, then cleaned, reconditioned, upgraded, and perfected in a tasteful stylish V7 Sport look.
Tonti frame was reconfigured to hang the engine from above (with additional hidden reinforcing brackets), slimming the bike more is the  the 2-into-1 header running the exhaust under the pan.
A single 100mm instrument sits in a bubbly 7” headlight between the rare adjustable swan-neck bars. hubs replaced with drum brakes for a retro look.
Internally, upgraded for higher performance and reliability - Carrillo rods push a balanced crankshaft in 950cc cylinders under NOS(!) LeMans heads with all new bits, spinning a light ergal flywheel. Timing in helical gears, pushing high B10 cams.
Wiring and timing, seat and paint, and other misc tasks are needed to complete the project.

Restoration:
Vapor-blasted all aluminum castings - crankcase, transmission, hubs, drums
New sheet metal - tank, stainless fender
New bearings and seals
NOS 850 LeMans heads(!), new guides, springs, retainers, valves
Rebuilt carburetors
New starter
New clutch
Rebuilt rear differential

Upgrades:
Balanced crankshaft
Carrillo rods
B10 camshaft

Ergal flywheel - only 1335 grams

Side covers
Swan-neck adjustable handlebars

Moto Guzzi

Mon, 30 May 2016

Trying to distort the concept of cafe racer as little as possible, Radical Guzzi specialists in their latest work pursued two goals: speed and style. The concept was developed by former BMW designer Sylvain Berneron. The 1200cc twin Moto Guzzi Griso has been pumped up to almost a liter and a half, equipped with a 1400 California cylinder-piston group.
