Re: Fuel lines to the injectors

Hi again, You'll be pleased to hear that I have managed to get the caps off the plastic pipe without any damage to the barbs. I wrapped the heads in Al foil then heated them up very carefully with a small kitchen blowtorch until soft and the plastic pipe just fell off! Ill replace the tee with a met...

Re: Fuel lines to the injectors

That's great thanks.
Just one question. How did you manage to cut the plastic pipe off the injector fittings and tee piece without damaging the barbs?
Tnx.

Fuel lines to the injectors

Has anybody made up new fuel lines to the injectors, I have a 1200 sport 2V engine ? The stiff plastic lines are bent to suit the fuel tank. I'd be interested to see what anybody else has done to their fuel supply lines. The ideal would be lines to the injector, a tee piece and straight back for the...

Re: Guzzi 1200 2V Sport - oil catcher mounting points

Sometimes you just have to have the courage of your covictions.
Ive drilled the holes M6 to a depth of 13mm. No problem.
A couple of titanium exhaust studs will fit nicely with a bit of studlocker.
Hope this helps anybody who had thought of the same thing.

Guzzi 1200 2V Sport - oil catcher mounting points

Has anybody drilled into these two lugs on top of the 1200 sport 2V engine. Located between the cylinders towards the back. They appear to be solid in construction. They would be ideal for fitting a bracket. I was thinking drill and tap to M6 to 10 mm depth. Fit studs with green loctite. Check out t...

Bonnet / Boot cover fasteners

I was checking out a previous post regarding panel fasteners. So many choices but I always think simplest is best. After much searching I came across these quick release fasteners. They look good and are quick release. Above all they are simple. Here's a link ..... https://www.demon-tweeks.com/uk/pi...

Re: Cable tie clip self adhesive bases

Thanks for the quick response. I have just put the deposit down on a Type 4 and am busy doing some maintenance/servicing on my Guzzi 1200 Sport 2V engine, brakes, rear end, etc. Just checking out a few things as I go along so that I should have a lot of the small bits in place before the build begin...

Cable tie clip self adhesive bases

Is there anybody using these to hold the cables in place on their build? Are they any good? Do they last? Some do state heavy duty adhesive. Any suggestions as to which are the best? The least amount of drilling is obviously the best solution. Im after a "sticks like shit to an army blanket" type ba...

Headlights snd indicators

Has anybody fitted these or something similar
A bit pricey but would look good I reckon. They are 7" in diameter, would that be too big?
The top light is for a sidelight but that could easily be changed out for an indicator. Thoughts?
Here's the link.
