Had a few minutes today, so pulled the friction plates from their bath and blew them off with compressed air. Only now I notice how loose the rivets are! It's only 4 pm in CA so I give Mark Etheridge of Moto Guzzi Classics a call with the intent of buying a set of his bonded plates. Instead, he talks me into reusing my plates by peening the rivets tight again. Great guy, always happy to give free advice even if it costs him a parts sale! Will peen them next chance I get after finishing removal of the oily residue from them.
