Thanks. looking better now than when I bought it. Just bits 'n' bobs to tidy up
Only buy a Guzzi if you like tinkering, so you hear.
Currently waiting on some swinging arm bearings I have ordered from MPS in Netherlands, how long before they arrive I don't know, been 11 days so far. Guzibits  not had any in stock since before Christmas.

Nice looking bike. Thumbs Up 

Nearly bought one myself, just never seem to find one at the right price in the right condition when I'm ready to buy. 

By the way, I am really impressed that while riding two up you managed to take such a great picture at the same time. WinkLOL

They are conical roller bearings. I'm sure they are probably standard bearings, but never checked when I did my Norge, just cleaned and regreased them.

Yes, conical roller bearings, but these have a seal built in. Did try my local bearing suppliers (50 mile round trip) to no joy.
Good news though parcel arrived today with said items Smile
I know what i'm doing this weekend

No, it's freezing in there. Need to wrap up well. Thinking about getting a diesel campervan heater.

in mine i use a oil radiator heater have to be very careful re heat source, a red element in a fan heater can make petrol fumes go BANG it is not hot but keeps the edge off. The old style garage heaters were designed not to make fumes ignite .....
