Are they interchangeable?
Well I mean, I guess they are, but is it just slap it on and go?

I love that look of the round-fin valve covers on the later engine. I'm going to find a pair to put on my buddies CalVin.  Does anybody have an extra set they would be willing to sell?

Very nice but this is the one that makes me twitch.



Or this one even better.  The LeMans III, IV, V tank is one of the most handsome in motorcycling IMO.

I like both of those as well. I don't like the number plate on the purple one and the gap on the seat on the green one bothers me but other than those 2 small complaints they are nice.

Yep, I just don't get those ghastly under slung headers.

Anyone in Oz got a set of round fin covers?

Yep, I just don't get those ghastly under slung headers.

To me they're a perfect application.  They don't hide any of the engine and visually describe the V in front of the engine.  I had a Rennsport 2-1-2 for a while and changing oil was no problem.  Changing the filter meant pulling off the front section of the header which took all of 5 minutes.

Those bikes would look much better if they featured the LM I and II / CX100 Fuel Tank.

That is THE Best looking tank in Moto Guzzi Motorcycle History.


When the early Le Mans tank was coupled to the Round Fin engine and valve covers, it became a briliant example of rolling art; a feat never equaled by Guzzi since.


Same applies to the Ducati 916 and MV Agusta F4s; both models of motorcycle design brilliance; never duplicated.


That's my opinion.
