Re: The Alloy Guzzi – Revival Cycles T3 Cafe Racer
I dunno why, but matching the spring to the frame bothers me in ways I can't put into words.
I generally like it quite a lot. Sort the exhaust (obviously) and make the spring a different colour and I'm nearly there. Oh, and some black grips!

That exhaust is awful.
I could forgive the tan seat... if it wasn't for the tan grips!
Other than that, it's ok (and needs a number plate holder).

The Cheese will love that exhaust.
I don't get the current fixation with brown seats/grips etc.

The Pink Enfield flat tracker looks better than that pile of gopping mess.
It won't take to long to catch fire though as the underseat battery looks like it's directly in the line of fire for rear wheel spray

The green paint, tan seat and alloy look is in homage to the Guzzi V8 racer innit, still looks shit though

Re: The Alloy Guzzi – Revival Cycles T3 Cafe Racer
I'd take it of their hands & tear it back down to a bare frame & get it powder coated black.
I'd also fit twin clocks,change the seat,grips,bellypan & exhaust.I'm not sure if it has indicators fitted,I think the front ones are on the bar ends,but I've not noticed any rear indicators? I'd also fit a small ally rear mudguard & number plate mount.although I'm not sure what you would mount them to?
Still,it's not to shabby compared to some of the abominations that turn up here

Not quite what I was expecting.
The only thing that really bothers me, and it bothers me is that belly pan.

Re: The Alloy Guzzi – Revival Cycles T3 Cafe Racer
I don't like the way the pipes feed into it, but I don't mind the idea of an underbelly exhaust at all.
It's mass carried central and low, unlike the daft 'silencer in the seat fad of a few years back. And I've never been able to understand why a bike has to have a silencer can run up the outside of a wheel where it gets in the way... or worse TWO silencers, one on either side! And don't talk to me about bikes where the silencer has to come off before you can get the rear wheel out turning a five minute rear wheel swap into a thirty minute job! That lunacy reached its height with the VFR800 with its pivoting exhaust... just route the bloody thing where it's not in the way.

I'm a fan of underbelly exhausts - but that belly pan is more than just the exhaust - the thing looks pregnant.The Spin Doctor wrote: ↑Wed Apr 06, 2022 2:46 pm I don't like the way the pipes feed into it, but I don't mind the idea of an underbelly exhaust at all.
