That's a lot of work for....well, it makes him happy.  I'm surprised the straight exhaust is not much louder.

 I appreciate the work he out into it, but that Harley tank  :-[. I guess it serves his purpose to have something to lie on.

Ernst Jakob Henne.

Well , that makes better sense , although the LSR bikes (BMW,NSU) ridden by Henne don't much resemble this bike .
Herr Henne was a giant , really good sense of humor also .

Thanks for the link.  So the Guzzi T is more of a tribute than a replica.  Wonder why he didn't use a BMW?

True that...with the fact that ,as its his bike and can do what he wants with it, IMHO not a lot can be improved on some Guzzis aesthetically, but f...ing one up is always easy..regardless of the amount of effort that goes into it.

I think the sawzall and its corollary, duc tape, are essential parts of any balanced upgrade.   ;-T

If you want real quality though, you need a selection of angle grinders.   :bike

In any kind of accident, he will be impaled by those rear foot rests sticking out at the back.

I had never heard a Guzzi where I didnt like the sound, until this one... blat,blat,blat...Those drag pipes really sound like crap. You need a wider diameter end to make that "basso profundo"  sound we love.
Then there is that HD tank, there are so many other sweet looking tanks that could be put on that bike....Oh well, to each his own!

I often stretch out over the tank & hook my boots over the rear turn signal stalks.
