Hi Mike; As a former Fl. state rep for the MGNOC, I have seen and owned many Converts over the years, [3 Cal-2's] And the Cal-2 is the best, in my opinion. In...
That will be a neat bike, EldoMike. Why are you using an Convert cam in the SP motor? -Mike (69 ambo, 77 vert) ===== M.Jones, associate editor, Journal for the...

I acquired a v1000 convert last fall and am in the process of rehabing it. It is stamped Sept 1976, is it a 76 or 77 year model? It has extremely low mileage,...
Hi, Doug. I thought the differences between the second series Convert and the third, the cal II, were primarily cosmetic. The drive train, suspension, and ...
Hi Pete, Welcome to the group. Have you discovered MG Cycle in Albany WI? Wonderful parts source. They have a nice web site. The leaking banjos maybe the crimp...
I'm picking another Convert next week. This one is very nice. I've added pics. to Steve Ford's Convert pics. You can never have enough of these great bikes....
Hi, my quiet friends. There has been a Vert for sale in the MGNOC paper that claims to have tubeless tires. I believe it is an '80, if I recall correctly. What...
Mike; The later Converts with the 'mag' wheels will accept tubeless tires, but it is not something for which they were designed, and I would not recomend their...
The earlier Converts have spoke rims thus a tubeless tire is out of the question. I do know of some LeMans owners (series 4) that are running tubeless with no...
I have an 87 SPII which came with mag wheels and tubes included. Recently I converted these to tubeless as several others have done. Yes, air tightness is...
Hi, Patrick. I am not "serious" about the conversion yet, but would like to know if the tubeless rims would bolt right up to my '77 Vert. I like the stainless ...
If it came originally with spokes, then I don't know if you can do a bolt up conversion to cast. You'll have to ask the larger Guzzi list for more info on...
OK, Patrick, thanks. -Mike ===== M.Jones, associate editor, Journal for the Study of Religions and Ideologies (http://hiphi.ubbcluj.ro/JSRI/) "The heart has...
Hi Guys.. The guy who bought my convert didnt want the bubs.. he only wanted the stock pipes.. if any of you guys want them.. I'll end the auction early for...
Hi, all. How do you set the idle RPM on these verts that don't have a tach? And is it set with the clutch engaged or disengaged? (Mine idles slightly lower...
Hello Mike I don't claim to be an expert. Assuming that your cables are rigged properly, that is, they are rising and falling together and at the same...
Thanks, Larry. I have a question regarding the method of setting idle speed by removing one spark plug wire. My bike came with a Dyna electronic ignition. I ...
Mike I am reluctant to comment on that. I have done it to my bikes with dynas, but that don't mean you will have similar luck. Might I recommend that you...
Hello, true, always connect a spark plug and let in touch the ground (frame, engine etc...). Rgds jacques ... Internet simplement moins cher avec Tele2 :...
Hi, The way I do it is to set-it up such that the bike does not pull at idle when the clucth is engaged. Do a cylinder balance check at the same time if you...
