candy for your Guzzi sweet tooth

Nice looking bike except for the pipes. Maybe have the upsweep match (parallel) the bottom of the back of the seat bodywork? And shorten them a bit.

Ok, here’s the plan…


Starting from the front.
#1 That tricolore sweep on the under seat graphics, needs to be continued in a suitably subtle way onto the front fairing.
#2 Dump the red/white/green accents on the rims.
#3 Do something better than the ugly afterthought pod filters.
#3 Pork chops need to be silver/grey.
#4 Headers and pipes in titanium.
#5 Twin hi mount mufflers in carbon or stainless in the style of the 916 Ducati or MGS 01.
#6 Clear screen.
#7 Rims the same colour as the pork chops.

Then…I’ll live with it I s’pose…

Yeah, very nice, especially the oem stand that chews up pork chop paint.

Who else but Guzzi ?

It’s said that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. For me, in this case, this has got to be one of the ugliest bikes I have ever seen. The proportions of the plastics is unforgivable. They look like they were off of a much smaller bike. The gap between the tank plastic and fairing is horrid along with the angles. Nothing flows into the next. Subframe looks like an afterthought as well as the remote reservoir for the rear shock, put some effort into this. I would walk past this for my Stone any day of the week.

At a glance, the bike looks nice. But upon closer observation...

If you could pivot and slide the plastic fairing back to align with the tank cover, I think they would fit together nicely. Or at least fill the gap with the 2 edges and lines matching. Continue the red and green stripes onto the tank and fairing. Of course to do that, you would have to extend the tank cover plastic for the stripes to fit.

It looks like the shock reservoir was hose clamped in place. Really? Hose clamps?

Red paint on pork chops scraped by the stand? A large diameter washer to match the diameter of the pork chop boss to protect the paint would probably take care of that. Might have to open the width of the stand but if you can build the bike that should be easy enough.

Overall, for a "custom" bike build, it is close but no cigar. 

My 2 cents.
