That's a smart bundle . . very very nice! Can the passenger pegs go, or are they providing support to the exhausts on the left side?

Hi.
Thanx for the compliment.

Yes, the passenger pegs are going soon as I can get "Kenny The Bike Fabricator" (Who did the very discreet tail light, signal bracket and the side covers)

to make an exhaust hanger to replace the left pillion peg bracket and a cover to hide the mounting tabs for the right pillion peg. (I want to keep the option open of putting the pillion pegs back on.)

the "Evolutione" 940 Bellagio Cafe Racer is still evolving.

Making slow progress.
Put the bar end mirrors back on. Like them? They're a bit hard to spot against the Hydrochrome tank.

Went for a 300km ride this morning into Malaysia in the company of a Griso, Ducati 900 Monster, Mick Hailwood replica replica, several MV Augustas and a Honda. (The Honda must have felt out of place amongst all the Italians.)
The annoying thing is that when I gave the Bellagio some stick and hit 210Kmh the bar end mirrors kept bending with the wind and facing down to the ground. It's irritating having to adjust them at 200kmh.

Handling wise it was great. No buffeting to speak of, except when I experimented with laying low over the tank at 180kmh +
It was better riding in the natural semi upright position. Good aerodynamics Guzzi !

Mirrors: The genuine CRG are well made & are more stable than the clone knock offs - but I haven't tested to 210 kph - there's been good feedback on CRG's Arrows - the LS (Lane Spitter) version of their round HS mirrors work well too. I get my CRGs from Bevel Heaven in the States, as they sell all the parts as well.
Rizoma is another quality product, but again, their prices are not for the timid.

Here's a shot of the Rizoma I got the replace a Napoleon that failed in the breeze, along with a CRG - on the V7. I'm exceptionally impressed with the Rizoma.

I came across an interest piece of lateral thinking o the exhaust hangers recently - a chap I know is slimming down a Cali, but as a Laverda guy, had plenty of broken rose joint spare.

Dude! Kudos! That thing is sick! If Guzzi released this instead of the V9 I would buy one today!

Check out what I found on ebay.
Red foldable, extendable levers with the guzzi emblem laser engraved. Not cheap, though cheaper than OEM. They go well with the colour scheme on my Moto Guzzi Bellagio "Evoluzione" 940 Cafe Racer.

Looks really really nice!

Always like the Bellagio when it gets this treatment!

And why oh why haven't Guzzi made this! Ridiculous! :Beating_A_Dead_Hors e_by_liviu

The Bellagio Cafe Racer has completed its "Evoluzione.

Still can't figure how to put youtube videos on the forum. I used to be able to do it. Is the option not available anymore?

Anyway,.....................
