for Desmo owners ...

Postby ducwiz » Tue Apr 06, 2021 10:59 am

While at home during these Corona weeks I found a lot of time for a web research about our forum's main subjects.
So, I'd like to post two very interesting pages.

Taglioni explains the desmo:

4-valve 450 Desmo single:

cheers and stay safe and sound!

Thanks, Hans; I particularly like the four-valve head. For all of del Biondo's fame, I can find very little about him on the internet, and no parts of his for sale anywhere. Does anyone here have any info about del Biondo, and know if he is still operating?

Thanks,

Colin

Much appreciated links Hans, if anyone has one of those old 4 valve heads? lying around under the bench doing nothing, I would be willing to risk a few pounds on it :).
Cheers
