Not a bad job,considering the original bike. I'd like higher bars,perhaps.

I quite like it, higher bars and a longer seat would suit me better

Not bad that.
I find the sidestand overlapping the endcan a bit awkward though, not sure about the slicks either.

Sadly no. It was snaffled from a fb page named 'Wow Superbike',so usually thin on detail.

Exhaust wrap is silly, side stand wouldn't be so obtrusive with a longer end can and the remote reservoir is awkward... other than that, it's tolerable.

Builds a bike you could never ride in the rain without getting filthy.

Parks it in a puddle :D

Shame the video is just a rehash of the photos rather than some shots of the bike in use. Oficina do some nice guzzi stuff in the main, think the picks might be at their test track 🤔
