http://stevenbaldwin.zenfolio.com/p1041015419/e20d92933Here's a pic from the seller. I've taken off the fairing as it interfered with the necessary turn signal mount and changed the bars. I'll post some current pics in the morning. You guys are too nice.
I like bars that are more than clip-ons but less than the big wheelbarrow bars that Guzzi police and touring bikes used to come with. R90S or SP-NT bars are what go on my older Guzzis. Be interesting to see what your interpretation of "comfort" is!Lannis
Careful, Lannis. If not for the wide, wide, wheelbarrow bars on my Stones, my age and 138# would not allow me to handle them and I'd be navigating the rabid SoCal freeways on a Stornetto. You wouldn't want that...would you?Ralph
Well, we'd have to have a Youtube video of the experience! I've got a stock Convert in the garage with the wiiiiide bars and they just kill my wrists, PLUS I have to remember to get my leg out of the way BEFORE I start a tight parking-lot turn or my leg gets pinned between the grip and the tank and I can't go the way I want ..... so it's narrow bars for me so my arms (puny though they are) can help my legs and my arse support my weight - they can't do it alone!Lannis
Nice. Doesn't look like the stock front fender.
What DOES it look like Mr. Cat?
It's a rather high mileage unit but I have no reason to suspect the bottom end and I imagine I'll fit the nikasil cylinder/piston kit at some point. Once the chrome bores flake you won't have to guess about the condition of the bottom end :beat_horse.
Good thought and nicely worded. Think I'll have to bump up my schedule. Wouldn't mind the displacement bump, either. The front fender measures about 24" and isn't cut. I have no idea if it's stock or not but none of the other body work is. The seat and rear fender allegedly came from an S3. I think I'll keep the fairing for now, might put it back on if I can find a bracket for the front signals. I got a Le Mans bracket but it's too narrow for the triple clamps on this bike. http://stevenbaldwin.zenfolio.com/p1041015419/h20d92933#h2834aa21http://stevenbaldwin.zenfolio.com/p1041015419/h20d92933#h3bde98adhttp://stevenbaldwin.zenfolio.com/p1041015419/h20d92933#h29e6cc56http://stevenbaldwin.zenfolio.com/p1041015419/h20d92933#h29ad3258http://stevenbaldwin.zenfolio.com/p1041015419/h20d92933#h3757ab30
I'd change the colors a bit, but the bike looks good.
I actually like the colors, at first I thought it was just a bit much but I've grown to really like it. And I love the lines of the tank. Now on to new cylinders, etc. But I think I'll just ride it for a few weeks first.
Have we seen pics yet?My kid has a /7 and a Jackal. He says the beemer does what the Jackal does only it needs 1krpm more to do it. The /7 gets better economy, but the Jackal has a higher constant cruise speed. His is an R80. I'll bet it's on a close par to your T3.
Things like learning how aggressively I can down shift going into a corner without wagging my tail (not very).
Yeah -- once rolling I seldom use the clutch. I just roll the throttle to where it needs to be and snick the lever.Also -- in all my years of riding (46 and counting) I've maybe used the horn a half dozen times. I wouldn't be too worried about muscle memory for that.
