Finishing up a winter project. This customer wanted a nice rider so, that's what I did.

I don't think I took any before pictures. This was a neglected but, not abused Sport. The engine, trans and rear drive are rebuilt. It came to me with a big bore kit on it. Since Gilardoni is no longer making kits fort V7 Sports, I used Ambassador kits and had the pistons fly cut. The motor is now over 750 CCs but, he's not going to be racing. I had the motor balanced, it runs sweet!

OK,

This one was a little more involved. I bought it in pieces. A client bought it from me and had me put it together for him. I put about 15 miles on each of these today. The Sport owner is coming by on Saturday, I think he'll be happy.

I really dig these being considered as "riders". I hope they each see miles, rain and even a dusty road or two. Good job and congratulations on finding such customers.
