The CARC 1100cc engines are basically excellent, simple, robust, torquey and very suited to a Triking, Guzzi only stopped making them as the combustion chamber design was not suited to further revision for meeting the latest restrictive emission standards.

Exhaust groove was / (is still as the T2 is a current model) a feature on the Type 2 ONLY.

If you mean the spring on the caliper itself? these are as supplied by the caliper manufacturer, so a dedicated design tension for that particular caliper to suit the piston size, seal drag and specific safety considerations, its probably not a good idea to reduce the tension as the caliper may not ...

Painting costs have doubled in the last 4 years.- Russian war -Covid etc, cost of heating a spray oven - petrochemical products and solvent waste disposal blah blah etc etc. Our bodyshop charges us about £2,500 for a T1,2 or 3 in a solid colour and about £3000 for a T4. (+VAT) They assure me repeate...
