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
Helical timing gears
Suspended engine - frame configured
Electronic ignition
All stainless hardware
One-of-a-kind under-pan exhaust system
EuroMotors charging system
Ergal flywheel - only 1335 grams
950cc nikasil cylinders
Wire wheels laced by Buchanan

V7 Sport components:
Forks and sliders
Triple Tree
4LS front drum
2LS rear drum
Side covers
Swan-neck adjustable handlebars
Headlight brackets for swan-neck bars

More parts:
Rebuilt V7 100mm gauge
Suzuki GT750 levers
Honda CL77 headlight bucket

Additional misc parts are included in the sale, including drums fittings, electrical components, fenders, and more.
