New pans from new molds and man are we happy!
« on: January 10, 2018, 11:18:17 AM »
So you may remember we told you that all of our molds got lost in a fire a while back. Well we got the first products from the new molds and the new production and man do these things look great. This is the first run of the seat pans for Loop frame bikes. Such a much improved fit and finish from the old process. So nice to see a company promise and deliver these days.

The pans are fiberglass. These pics are the final approved prototypes from the new company. The initial order has been placed and we should have the pans in 3 - 4 weeks. The probably two weeks in upholstery shop. So I would say around March 1st we should see the new completed products.

They look beautiful.
I wouldn't know one early Guzzi from another, but I do know decent workmanship and attention to detail, (as do we all). I've been skipping over this thread up 'till now, but that's been my loss.
I hope you can develop a range of reproduction bits for early (and not so early) Guzzi parts, and start something really successful.
Bloody well done !
I should look back but will just ask..
Will there be a brand name and site where we can see your product promoted ?
[Edit]
Sorry, just took the time to look. Is it Harper Moto etc...?
