Hi everyone

i just bought my first Benelli, a Sei 750 and it’s in San Diego at the moment. It’s been standing a while and I don’t know the history. I would really like to have an expert look it over and make an honest appraisal of its state and work needed. Also anyone recommended in California to do the mechanical work. I am relying on you experts to help me. 
 

Thanks in advance for any advice

However, Benelli was far more innovative than most people realize; the alternator was installed piggy-back behind the block, years before the Japanese did so. In this case, Honda owes anything to Benelli.

The lightness of the Sei was also striking. The engine is a straight Honda rip-off, but Benelli came up with the idea of putting the alternator behind the block to make the engine slimmer.

I have been contemplating designing my own adapter in my 3D printer, similar to what they did with the Beretta. The first step is to find out if there is the space inside the Magpul stock that allows for the M4 extension, and then see if the angle matches that of the available space. Unfortunately I’m too busy with many other things to even start going down that route. 

I'd recommend first learning some basic CAD software to design it yourself, and then finding someone local (or a local makerspace) to print it for you. Based on your post two weeks ago, you at least know someone who has access to a cheap color laser printers (and possibly some design experience), so this shouldn't be too difficult for you to complete.

yes my 916 was a beautiful sexy bike, great handling, but raw horsepower and acceleration the zx10  would eat it alive, my son in law has an R1 it's a  sweet lite monster..horsepower wise it's all you need. at my age i'm still a horsepower junkie. the R1 has been around for 20 years now and they keep refining it.

It appears that performance motorcycles are following in the footsteps of automobiles. Classic muscle vehicles have distinguishing qualities that remained consistent throughout the lineage. You just knew what it was, whether it was the trunk slope or the grill. The only genuine current ones that stick out are the newish CBR1000rr's blunt nose and the GSXR's notorious cyclops eye, but for the most part they are all transforming into the dual foxeye, sharp tail KawasukiCB-R6 (Raven/pearl white.) Occasionally, however, they are astute enough to paint it correctly, like as the anniversary edition r6 from a few years ago.
