For those suffering with the self detaching magnets in the Valeo starter motor, an American company offers a replacement outer shell with magnets set in properly
Field Magnet Housing counter clockwise rotation - BMW R Oilhead & Moto Guzzi / Valeo$35 plus postage and Post Office handling fees and possibly customs VAT charges. Still sounds quite a good deal. As discovered by Deggie (Ex club member from long ago now living in Spain) on the Squadra Guzzista forum

Interesting to know that the Guzzi has the same starter as my BMW.
