building a guzzi 500 replica |

|
last my friend and I went to a visit in Italy and on some |
|
exhibition saw this 1956 Moto-guzzi racer, build by the factory |
|
but never raced as in this year al of the Italian factory,s |
|
decided to withdraw from GP racing, luckily it was saved from |
|
scrapping by some enthousiasts and is now only sometimes on |
|
display. |
|
we where attracted by its beautifull lines and after some |
|
discussion decided to construct a replica. |
|
first we needed to search the Internet for foto,s and info, not |
|
easy for there is very little info on this bike, also we needed |
|
to decide what kind of engine to use as there are no spare-parts |
|
availble. |
|
first we went looking for an older Falcone as this has (some) |
|
resemblance , but the horrific prices asked made us look |
|
further, so in the end we decided to use and modify a Nuovo |
|
falcone engine,our main goal was to get the look somewhat right, |
|
but realized it would never be exactly the same, nevertheless, |
|
we proceeded. |
|
first task was to produce drawings and correct measurements, |
|
after this we started building the chassis,using |
|
chrome-molybdanium tube, over the coming period I will submit |
|
foto,s of this proces, accompanied with the neccesary comments |

Interesting project Hans. |
|
This (free) forum has no facilities for uploading pictures. If |
|
you want to post pictures, they need to be uploaded to some |
|
photo-hosting site, and linked to here. We used to suggest |
|
Photobucket, but that has become useless these days. I'm now |
|
using Flickr, which isn't perfect, but it's mainstream and it |
|
works. |
|
If you don't already have a Flickr account, you can open one |
|
here: |
|
https://www.flickr.com/ |
|
If using Flickr, simply locate the picture you want to post, |
|
click on the sharing button, copy the URL, and paste into your |
|
post. |
|
You can choose the size of pic as well; medium usually works. |
|
Alternatively, you may already have another online photo storage |
|
account that supports remote linking. |
|
Hope that's some help |
