Member Contributer Dutchy Posted February 7, 2022 Author Member Contributer Share Posted February 7, 2022 It is a small world...... I put a friend in touch with a guy in Italy (Umberto) that has loads of parts for classic Mv's, via another friend of mine. To check for a side engine casing for a particualr 175. Which the guy had. With my friend retired (he is 80), he and a pal rode to Italy to pick it up and talk classic bikes... so in addition to the side case, he agreed with Umberto he would build him a 175 Disco Volante... 🙂 I'd mentioned that I was -w/o luck- looking for a front fairing stay for my Ipotesi. From the 1,991 Ipostesi's build, only maybe 75 were sold with a full fairing. Making the stays even more rocking horse shittery 🙂 Next I knew he'd dug one up that needed some TLC and we'd settled on a price. Today Umberto came back saying he'd replicate the OEM and I was given the choice. No contest, give me the "replica"!!! 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer Dutchy Posted February 19, 2022 Author Member Contributer Share Posted February 19, 2022 The MV fired right up after the winter break. But...... The seal behind the generator is now leaking.... 😞 And the parts book? Sure it lists it, as "gasket". But with no dimensions The "good thing" is that while tracing the leak, I spotted a chafed wire... Just In Time I'd say..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
