Wotcha.
Well it's all finished now :)
There was an electrical issue which caused a bit of head
scratching.
For some reason the bike was 'killing' solid state voltage
regulators. You could run the dyanstart on a test rig and all
would be fine - as soon as it went back on the bike there would
be no output from the regulator.
To cut a long ( and expensive ) story short, I took the bike
over to Peter at Classic Dynamo Regulator Conversions. He
couldn't see any reason why this should be happening.
Eventually, after much trying, testing, re-trying we finally
found the culprit . . . . . . the battery. Once we tried
another battery on it, everything worked fine.
I'd like to thank Peter Jury, of Classic Dynamo Regulator
Conversion for his help and understanding in getting this
problem sorted out. Neither of us had ever come across a
battery causing this kind of problem. Still, it's all sorted
now.
Took the bike for MOT - which it passed with no problems. Then
it was off for a test run - which had to involve a cafe of
course.

Looks gorgeous; bummer about the multiple regulator failure.
Does anyone know WHY the battery would cause this problem?

Wotcha.
That's the niggly bit.
We know it was the battery - but we don't know how or why it was
causing this particular fault.
I've put another few hundred miles on the Guzzi and all is still
happy.

It's a mystery then...
Glad to hear it's all working now, and it looks gorgeous
