Thanks for the kind comments. I just stripped the frame right down and its hand painted using a tin of military paint via e bay. Very straightforward to dismantle but I should have taken pictures prior to the dismantling as it makes reassembly easier.

The taper bearings from Pirner arrived yesterday and were fitted today. The bearings are FAG. There is a bottom seal in the kit and I am very pleased with it. I chilled the outers in the freezer and warmed the taper bearing so it would slide easily down the steering stem. I am now stripping off the fork seal holders in order to replace the seals. Guzzibits are supplying them.

The bearings that were in were knackered as the hard face hard worn through in places. The dutch have given me a full refund so I am now in the process of ordering the taper bearings from Pirner. They are about 100 euro with the postage. They seem to have quite a bit of NF stuff.

Thanks for the information. The head bearings arrived in genuine Moto guzzi packaging. Sadly after shelling out £136 it was 4 cups rather than 4 cones all slightly different sizes. None of them are the correct size and one of them was rusty. They are now back with the supplier in Holland and there has been no word despite it being a week since they got them. The new swinging arm bushes arrived from Italy and after some dramas with a blow lamp and a big hammer and drift the old ones were removed and the new ones are in place. The bike is all painted just need the head bearings now. If the Dutch cant provide the right ones I have found that Pirner in germany do a modified taper bearing to fit. It is less than half the price too. It is just a shame I didnt go here first.

Head bearings now located and are on the way after taking out a second mortgage. I got them from Holland. The swinging arm bushes are on order from Italy. The bike is now stripped and been degreased prior to painting. There are a few battle scars. There is some singing to the paintwork so I wonder if it has been in a fire. Can anyone advise the size of drive chain needed so I can shop around a bit for one.
