This really ought to be the last post from the Guzzi Lab, now that the project has moved from development to operations. The first entry was 11 April 2011 so it's over 7 years, what a saga! The T3 starts off the bat, runs really well, pulls smooth and strong, clean pick up no fluffing, handles straight and true, holds a good line, brakes great.
Marvellous

Latest Update
Replacement 2nd hand tank all the way from Oregon
$105 plus $85 postage and a bit of customs duty.
Put some test fuel through, no sign of sediment - put in line filters in fuel lines for extra cover. Test ride -no problems.
Just the drive box seal to sort (NBS) and we can start to add to the 130k miles...

Latest tank looks well on the bike
Found by chance a long lost set of stick-on stripes, so bottom two added - looks closer to the original design shown below.
