Open fly wheel.
By: velocette 1 Date: March 18, 2017, 3:55 pm

After assuring my long suffering wife that I would not be
spending on the new bike I am weakening and wondering how to go
about having an open flywheel.I have been Googling like mad but
can`t find a proprietary casing to achieve this.Would it be
possible to bandsaw the existing cover to allow machining on an
universal miller like a Bridgeport with a boring head to finish
off?Also while I am on would any Forum member know where I can
buy a Falcone transfer/decal to adorn my toolbox.Many thanks.

I have run my NF without the cover for about 7 years, no
problems at all. It creates much interest.

Correct absolutely nothing, had no problems at all. Just took it
off, cleaned the old paint off and use metal polish occasionally

I use the same; it's far nicer than cutting down the original,
covers the dynamo pulley and looks like it was made for the
bike.
Cutting down the stock cover, apart from being sacrilege, as of
course they're no longer available, results in a cover that
overhangs the flywheel.
The replacement cover fits behind the flywheel for a much tidier
look.

The centre of the flywheel, where the retaining bolt and
lockring are, is covered my a magnetic cover that a friend made
for me.

As previously mentioned, I've been considering modifying the
standard flywheel cover in order to achieve a degree of
protection without fully covering what I think is one of the
main characteristics of the engine, namely the bacon slicer.
banquo pointed me (us) in the direction of a supplier of a ready
made cutaway cover, but I've yet to actually find it on the
list, being unable to sprechen Deutsch! Must try harder!

I was lucky enough to buy mine 2nd hand from a forum member.
I've not found any need for additional protection; my boot's a
long way from the flywheel when planted on the footrest.
I have seen people fitting a small guard inboard of the
footrest, something like this one fitted by Leafman:

And a wire one off Guzzitref:

That totally exposed flywheel is more hazardous than one with
the special cover though; the special cover guards most of the
perimeter, which would be much more likely to cause entanglement
than the exposed face.
The Schubert covers are here I think:
[s]PZ 10 00 02 01 Deckel Schwungscheibe , NF., gebr. poliert
136,85 (polished cover)
PZ 10 00 02 01 Deckel Schwungscheibe , NF., gebr. 116,62 (as
cast)
PZ 10 00 02 01 Deckel Schwungscheibe , NF., Neu 153,51 (this may
be an original stock cover, as it says 'new')[/s]

Best to check that's correct - it does say flywheel cover, and I
assume it's not a stock cover, but caveat emptor.... ;)
Note: not the correct parts; see next two posts!
There are at least 2 designs of replacement open covers
available; mine is the one with Moto-Guzzi cast into the top
(and IMHO looks far better than the other design), and I believe
it's the SMS one, as confirmed by the following:
This is Bing's attempt at translating the Guzzitref article:
Brought flywheel to light
The consideration of how I (if you come to the required finish
allows this) could show some more of the world this very
decorative flywheel, already existed at the beginning of my
Falcone time.
As I later thought to provide an original cover with slots a
dealer it brought to my attention, that it is an outrage, first
to destroy good original parts (he's right) and he was second
just to make a small series of open motor cover. He described
then removed the difficulties to establish a measure containing
part of the cast, from the original cover workpiece to a certain
amount will be smaller. Since technology experience required!
There are now 2 versions on offer, a normal
The prices are about 100 for normal or €124 for the polished
lid. (As of August 2013)
So have I ordered the polished engine cover, get the next day
and unpacked, found to be beautiful (and immediately paid).
Threading the new behind the flywheel to remove the original
engine cover, gently stopped, and then the Allen screws are
replaced by shorter (M6 * 16 mm), (note the outer diameter)
covered with thin slices of waves, and gently clockwise and
gradually tightened. Then the flywheel made first makeshift city
fine, so that no paint and rust are to see more. On the new
component itself, no rework was required, the motor cover fits
well and is voltage-free!
After the first drive experience is to determine that the
flywheel must be definitely reasonable, smoothed, polished and
ideally coated in order to prevent abrasion from clothing and
footwear.
Also is an easy-to-dial protector (see photo) highly recommended
to make trouble with the architect out of the way. Ingolf
Schubert, offered as I know it from him, spontaneously his
support. From September, he offered a footrest with guard for
the open rotor.
At all, seems to make here a little advertising for a good
service, its parts, see link:
HTML http://smotos.de/Ersatzteillager/page-0001.htm
(click to
continue), inexhaustible.
This is a total perhaps not one of the "most reasonable"
modifications, but really chic and what for the motorcyclists
heart!
