Need right cylinder & head for V65

[Coolbreeze]

Returning from a New Year's run, my V65Sp started running on one cylinder, vibrating, and making a horrible sound. Somehow, the exhaust valve head had separated from the stem. Then, the piston started demolishing the right cylinder and everything in it. The bike now needs a replacement cylinder, head, piston, rings, valves, etc. for the right side. Please help me find the necessary parts to get this little jewel running again.

Curtis Harper at harpers moto guzzi may be your best bet for good used parts. I would also query him on secondary damage. These motors had some peculiarities and depending on your serial, he may be able to tell you if you need more than the obvious to sort this out.

Non running bikes come up a few times a year in the northern half of the state. I've seen a few near Rockford and one down by you in Springfield over the past 18 months or so.

you may also want to call Gordon at mg cycle to see what he knows. They were not answering the phone in August, just email. So, you may need to be patient.

Mark Etheridge on the west coast may have something as well.

And, finally, there is mgnoc. They had a free ad section in their monthly newsletter when last I was a member.

Chuck,
Thank you for your suggestions. Mrs. Harper will have Curtis call me back. I have reached out to MG Cycle also. Would you please give Mark Etheridge's contact information to me?
George

You may or may not hear back from Gordon at MG Cycle. Since COVID, he's been shipping but keeping a very low profile.

Note, I haven't dealt with Mark since 2016; I'm not 100% sure on his current business status, etc.
