Random Guzzi Shit

Joe carruso lives a few minutes from me. This is one of his creations.

Joe's a great guy and always has a Guzzi Project on the go

The Silver Le Mans on the right is the one that was for sale recently for big money

One of the most underrated Guzzi out there. The G5. If you can get over the hideous dash.

Tried to sell this one on this site a few years ago for £400 and nobody wanted it. It eventually sold for £800 on ebay. Gem of an engine.

Guzzi Factory Mandelo de Lario

I posted these up ages ago but can't seem to find the thread now :confused: so hope you don't mind me bunging them up again; pictures of bits'n'bobs taken at the factory museum (sadly I rode there on a WBM, not a Guzzi, I was so embarrassed I parked it in the furthest corner of the car park).

Oh alright then :D

In the beginning...

under the bodywork she wasn't too pretty and so a full resto was out of the question. The Patio Project had begun! :eek

An initial mock up for ideas, especially as I had bagged a bargain with the Guzzi 1100 Sport upswept Lafranconis!

Remove unwanted brackets etc...

lower the seat rails and use part of an old grab rail for a seat back pad and reposition upper shock mounts.

Having a spare set of USD YZ250 forks it seemed a good idea at the time to do another mock up. I took Guzmode off to a local place for frame mods, including a raked headstock, but after they lied to me that they had started on my bike, only for me to turn up :green gri to see what I could see...that they hadn't even moved it from where I parked it, I took the bike back home and scrapped the USD fork idea.

Back to the original forks plus HD tank...

Manufacture a clutch installation tool and fit new clutch...

Decided I wasn't happy with the Beachbars , the battery box , the gloss black, :blagblah:blagblah:blagblah

...and so my old favourite Satin Black found a new home.
Guzmode was always an ongoing project and still wasn't finished even when I sold ol' girl.
