Front fairing looks like it has been stopped far too short...but other than that I'm in.

Edit. Oh and that carbon is a disgrace. I'm only half in now.

[Le_Fromage_Grande]

Forks look too long

[slowsider]

Forks look too long

any shorter and the wheel would be off the ground.

[Lutin]

Petrol tank looks like it's too short at the front.

Random red tat's not great either.

But what do I know? (Where's the shrug smilie when you want one?)

[Count Steer]

Quite smart but what's going on with that swingarm? Is it just the way the light catches the welds? It makes it look a sort of scruffy job on it.

[Monstyr]

I like that.
I’d prefer the fairing a bit shorter- about the depth of where the black comes to, and also the swingarm would look better if it was the same colour as the frame.

The problem is, no matter how hard you try to build a sporty looking Guzzi, it'll never look as good as the MGS-01.

[Bigjawa]

That's gorgeous.....

'tis true. Factories tend to make a better job of modifying their own stuff

And used a much more fun motor too

[Skub]

Jolly good effort.

I thik it looks great. Right up my street. Compared to the endless diet of warmed over IL4s/flat trackers/bobbers etc that we get, this is a breath of fresh air. If he'd connected the tank and top fairing a la MGS-01 it would be close to perfect. It certainly out-blings the factory effort in the bolt-on goodies. Those PFM discs/calipers knock spots off the Brembos on the MGS-01. But I suspect that the creator might have a slight twinge of regret that he didn't use the V100 Mandello as the platform for his mods.

Perhaps he's just waiting until all the aftermarket bits come available...

[Mr. Dazzle]

The Moto Guzzi exhaust manufacturer actually owns a pipe bender though. Its not like they're even that hard to come by

OK so shoddy carbon and loads-of-bits exhaust. I'm down to 3/8ths in

[KungFooBob]

The Moto Guzzi exhaust manufacturer

Lafranconi at a guess.

[KungFooBob]

LOLZ!

I just looked at the webshite.

http://www.lafranconisilenziatori.com/

They make exhausts for two types of vehicles.

Motorcycles... and tractors.

[Mr. Dazzle]

You laugh, but I better tractor exhausts have to put up with some proper shit (literally sometimes) without breaking.

[KungFooBob]

The OEM exhaust on my K-RS is a Lafranconi, you could extrapolate from that that a similar vintage R series has a Lafranconi exhaust too. There's your tractor link right there.

EDIT:

If you click the 'Quality' section, the picture is of my K-RS exhaust!

[The Spin Doctor]

Pretty good!

[Dickyboy]

Was wondering why it used an old engine, then read the blurb, guys owned the original 1100 sport from new, makes a lot more sense now. Good effort & fair play to him.
