I hope its not common! From what I have read these bikes are very reliable and the motors are built very stoutly. Huge crank journals and very beefy guts in general. That is certainly the first I have heard of one seizing up.
I would like to see some pics of the mods. I think you are referring to Mecatwin (see last pic). I think they are French. I personally like the look in the first two pics. I think the tank is from thetankshop.com. I would like to try my hand at beating out an aluminum tank, but I have no welding rig to do al, and I am guessing you need quite a bit of practice. I actually prefer the beat up look of that Guzzi, so my metal forming skills could be lacking. But being realistic, these tanks are around $700 and by the time I get the equipment and find time I could just buy one and have it now.
Enjoy! BTW, lots of great cafe pics over at triumphrat.net under the cafe forum.
