A bit of Bully

Looks can be deceiving,
It’s been rejected and returned to Germany.
That’s the 2nd one the customer has bought unseen (in the metal) from Europe.
Both have been molested and/or accident damaged:blast

Both rejected!
Actually, I prefer the black/grey version.
I have the poster from the early 70's on my bike stable wall.
Apart from my Guzzi I only do black - even my Ducati is black!
 
Then tried to fit the new seat base.
What a fuckabout.
The seat manufacturers must have used an original seat base as a mould or former,
So the base is undersized :blast
Also ,it’s not supplied with brackets so the old ones need to be removed from the old base,,,,,,,,but ,,,,, then don’t fit,,aaaaahhhhhhhhh:blast:blast

Those yokes look fucking mint, glad we decided to polish them :thumb2

It also occurred to me, looking at the mudguard, as we're doing away with the airbox there's gonna need to be a flappy rubber shield thing to protect the carb/engine from shit being thrown up? I'll have a chat about the seat base when I next pop over (soon) unless you can see a way of getting it to fit................

Anyway, looking good and that beer looked well deserved :beerjug:

I’ve already got one, based on a traditional Spanish name:

Pablo Diego José Francisco de Paula Juan Nepomuceno María de los Remedios Cipriano de la Santísima Trinidad Ruiz.
