Re: Benelli 750 sei

I prefer the 750 sei over the 900. Although I recall at the time thinking I would like the power. But I don’t want lots of power anymore (too tempting to use) and reportedly the 750 is smoother. Which makes sense with smaller engine. I like the 6 pipes too, although the 6-2 I’m sure weighs less, the...

Re: Double Trouble

Thank you.
It is likely I will powder coat the frame/swingarm, so I’ll contact them.

Re: Double Trouble

Who do you use for a power coater?
    I don’t know yet if I’ll paint or powercoat the frame on the sei. Original is certainly paint- but this is no show bike.

Re: Benelli 750 sei

Just spectating.
But the others we were going to meet had to cancel (no fly from their route)- so we are delaying until next year.

Thats ok- I would like to visit the Lotus factory and they are not doing tours until this summer.

Re: Benelli 750 sei

I did a bit on the sei. Spent some time chasing and cleaning the threads in the case. Next I’ll put in the shift forks. Waiting on bearings- my supplier thought he would have the mains/rods two weeks ago- but still does not have them. Measured spokes and needed dimensions to get new stainless spokes...

Re: Benelli 750 sei

I think it just gets in the pores well and stops corrosion. I have not noticed Kroil being particularly ‘aggressive’ after using it for some 20 years. I’ve left it on aluminum parts for months with no sign if any sort of damage (well, that I could see). But I’m sure he would just not spray it if you...

Re: Benelli 750 sei

I’m waiting on bearings. (Suppliers was out of some- sending all at once). I got the replacement pistons (supplier sent me 4 of one type, 2 of another- with different weights! So then send 2 more to match the others. Cosmo (biggest stockist of Benelli parts) sold all their stuff to an outfit in Germ...

Re: Benelli 750 sei

The person is in Shelton.

I have a small unit, but not big enough for those long cases. I can do smaller stuff (or will be when I get it set up- I’m doing the air lines in garage now).
