Moto Guzzi LeMans MK1- How to strip a vintage motorcycle Part2. 

Good video, nice to see in those old Guzzis

Amazing attention to detail. Literally every nut and bolt is looked at.

I absolutely enjoy your show I am 62 and am learning a lot from you

Yes you got that right

what a great restoration job. Congratulations. Attention to detail is perfect. That welding job it's not for everyone :) . Keep up the good work and thanks for taking the time to film these videos and share with all of us.

Baie mooi gedoen geniet dit voorspoed

You doing an excellent job and your videos are very nice to watch, thank you very much for this:) David

I have fond memories of the original sport Guzzi, the V7 Sport. When they were first introduced I was part of a motorcycle club and one of the other members worked for the then Dutch Guzzi importer. One evening he showed up on a brand new V7 Sport on trade plates and all. This was a very early model with the red frame. Back then (and still true for now) I could not afford such a stunning bike, yet one can dream.

Great to watch

Fascinating. I'm impressed how calm you are, even when presented with a big problem.

Really useful and interesting video and very well presented by you, thank you. I last did a rebuild on a Le Mans Mk 1.. that was about 40 years ago but I can still remember some of the tricky parts to this day after your video reminded me. On that rebuild I made a completely new main loom which looked really good and even worked I'm glad to say. It's especially interesting to see your approach to the challenges that you come across. Good work!

the mystery of the plastic pipe is that it comes off the nozzle of an old gear oil bottle that's been used to top up the oil and has fallen into the sump. The crankcase oil filler is hard to get to as it's got the cylinder above it, so in ye olde days, we'd either decant oil from a 5L container into a 1 / 0.5L bottle or use an old bottle with the bottom cut off as a funnel. i still have one I used.....

Keen to hear what the customer decided on the cooling fins, and to see how the loom is restored!! Beautiful work on the oil pan weld - the plastic tube plot thickens...

Hi,.thanks for your amazing video and superb attention to detail, I have a Mk1 Lemons and an 850T both have lay a while so will need some TLC, thanks for the inspiration 🙏👌

It's great watching your videos, i have a 75 California that i'm getting into shape to put it on the road so i eagerly await each instalment! The way you present your content is spot on, very helpful and to the point. Well done, keep up the good work. 👏👏

Stumbled upon your channel a few nights ago. It’s great well done 👍

Hi I love watching your videos,you actually seem to enjoy the challenge of sieved/snapped bolts ,I love the methodical approach of starting with a nice clean tidy work area ,I wish I could be so organised

Excellent stuff! Great content, enjoyable to watch, good information as well! Thank you!

You need a vapour blaster my friend! Awesome job!

Just found the channel, a great watch and like that you tackle any make of bike in any state of repair. Loved the VFR 800 resto as I have one myself and would never consider getting rid of it, great all round bikes and still look as amazing now as when they were first launched 25 years ago. Just a shame the electrics don't last as long as the rest of the bike but I have a plan to fix those.

The tube in the sump doesn't belong, and the leaking oil under the main could be from the the bottom 2 bolts from the rear main not being glued, yes those 2 at the bottom must be glued and torqued with the other 6 bolts ( 8 all up ), and the oil filter must be screwed on tight as if it were an external mount.

Great vid. I'm doing exact same on a LM2 project. Only drained 1 L of thick black engine oil, and sump full of magnetic swarf. Happy days. Looking forward to progress. Just subbed.

I love Italian bikes...! Had many years ago Moto Morini 350 Standard,but love all bikes like Benelli or Guzzi(or MV!),so I am really happy that this girl will be on the road again in pristine condition! I would to repair those ribs even for free,because of my perfectionalism...Would shame to do some job like this ,even if customer wants it to do it so..Keep up your great work,lookin for next episode and for finishing this Commando!

That was ace but I totally got the fear when you were taking the gearbox apart!

I’m an aspiring Guzzi restorer, so super relevant to me Rob. Love your setup and approach. Any chance you can organise a tripod or some other sort of mount to capture those crucial operations that need both your hands that you are unable to capture?.This content is so unique and valuable, it seems a real shame to have to leave it out for want of some pretty basic video gear.

Great I really hope the guy you’re doing the job for desires to get a new head or barrel as those broke fins would need to be sorted. 😔

It's always a pleasure watching you do your thing. Doing detective work on an old motorcycle can be scary... you never know what a previous owner has done. Do you have to pull the engine out to put new clutch plates in that bike, or can access it from the front of the engine?

I just bought a brand new Royal Enfield Hunter 350. I just hope to learn as much as possible about my new bike, just in case....

Whew ... the wiring looms look quite a mess. Although originality is important, so is reliability. Must be tempting to source ‘new’ looms. Hope there’s no thrust washers on crank that can dislodge, after flywheel removal,like on BMWs. Great video.

wouldnt the damaged head fins effect cooling in certain conditions?.Just a thought?.Love your approach to Motorcycle restoration.Ive got 6 Guzzi's here in Connecticut USA

Good videos, sometime the ton ist very bad because the background is to loud. Greeting from germany

Cool, I am a big old Guzzi fan! What are you useing to film? bodycam?

You were honing the cyllinders. Does it mean they are not nikasil on this model of Moto Guzzi?

I may have got this wrong, but are you restoring this for a customer, or for yourself?

I was curious if you were going to try to source a new head for the client. Those heads are like hens teeth
