On the Guzzi theme; this is nicer in the close up pics and has a couple of nice touches. But, that white oil filter...

Nice bike, but never mind the colour of the oil filter, what about the location..?Taipan wrote: Sat May 02, 2020 9:32 pm On the Guzzi theme; this is nicer in the close up pics and has a couple of nice touches. But, that white oil filter...![]()
Saw a bloke on an old Guz ride off the kerb at West bay last year and he took his filter clean off. He only got about 200 yards before his sump was empty. I did chase after him to try and warn him but luckily he spotted it so hopefully didn't lunch his engine.

Exhaust looks like something that was smuggled in to Iraq during the war!

Re: interesting bikes found randomly..
Looks a bit like a stock ZX9 exhaust, it's got some proper clamps on it!
I wonder is the thinking is that an OEM exhaust from a larger capacity bike will handle the gasses as efficiently as a race pipe on a small capacity bike, while remaining road quiet.

I am all for using the 'parts bin' to keep costs down but a water pump from a Jacuzzi?

Re: interesting bikes found randomly..
The number plate holder and swinging arm offended me first, then the rest of the things jumped on me and kicked my eyes in. if I can bear to, i'll have another look later to see if there are any redeeming features!KungFooBob wrote: Thu May 21, 2020 9:34 pm Is it me, or has this Benelli got a massive cylinder head...
