Nicely executed, but let's see: Chopped front fender, removed rear fender, fat rear tire, black painted rims, black motor, solo seat, tiny fairing, tiny indicator lights, custom tank.

Is there a check list at the back of the "Cafe bikes for Dummies" book? Because I couldn't help thinking that I've seen this bike before.

Very nice! Only thing I would do different is shitcan the alligator seat. A nice,clean black leather cover would match the bike better, IMHO.

I firmly believe that if you are going to make something look fast, then make some mods to make it GO fast.
I'd have liked to read about some engine mods.

Can anyone here say something bad about this T3 rebuild?

Challenge accepted. I no like.

I dig full length, functional fenders.

Please don’t chop my fenders, bro.

The main negative factor is that it is not mine!

I don't dislike it but it has been done quite a lot.

I'd be happy if I built that though I wouldn't have built it because I like riding too much.

Old Jock · « **Reply #10 on:** February 28, 2020, 05:36:28 AM »

Nice enough I suppose, if you like that sorta thing

Just another cafe, rinse and repeat ad nauseam. I'm starting to come around to Pete's thinking in this regard.

I really don't like the flyscreen, the crocodile saddle does nothing for me, nor do the pipes which seem overly long and unsuited

Don't get me wrong I appreciate the work and it will no doubt appeal to many just not my cuppa

SIR REAL ED · « **Reply #11 on:** February 28, 2020, 05:38:03 AM »

too shiny. needs patina. rims should be silver!

But still an awesomely beautiful bike!

Huzo · « **Reply #12 on:** February 28, 2020, 05:44:52 AM »

Yeah no worries, I’ll oblige..
The headers look like they were salvaged from the plumbing of a demolished building...(shithouse..)
The rear of the seat is a completely different style to the tank...( lovely rack, no arse...)
Front tyre looks oversized.
If the amount of staunchion exposed, is an indication of the fork travel, it’d be as rough as guts.
Nice workmanship though..

Loop Tonti EV · « **Reply #14 on:** February 28, 2020, 06:37:51 AM »

It looks like a nice job of copying the other hundreds like it. For me, I want functional fenders, the comfort of more upright bars and foot boards. I guess my reaction is "meh".

You've definitely have come to the right place with a challenge like that..

uuuuuuuummmm, hate the muffler tips? That work for you?

Love the blue/silver color combo, buffed alum vs black chrome things looks great. Love the looks can't ride them past 15 miles w the stretch to the bars.

It almost seems a right of passage to build a tonti cafe, and they seem very similar after a while. Still a beautiful bike.

larrys · « **Reply #16 on:** February 28, 2020, 07:23:26 AM »

Um, somebody spent a lot of time and money to make a perfectly good motorcycle into a pretty, but slow, heavy, and uncomfortable roadburner wannabe. Not much different of an end product than the 10' long choppers that I built forty years ago. All show and no go. At least they could've hopped up the motor some...

this site is a bunch of grumpy old farts who I cant believe even get get joy from motorcycling except racking up miles on their stock bikes while looking down their noses at others.

ohiorider · « **Reply #18 on:** February 28, 2020, 08:06:33 AM »

I'm a really grumpy old fart too, but I like this bike overall.

Well, I “get get” plenty of joy from motorcycling! Remember that the thread started with a dare to say something bad about the bike.

Well, I joyfully said I don’t like chopped fenders.

Agreed!! I would LOVE to show up unannounced at a Guzzi Rally or local Bike Night on that beauty!

The bike, she is beautiful.
Maybe air filtration?
Again, BEAUTIFUL.

It would look 100% better with someone on it, blasting by wide open , looking at a motorcycle statically does nothing for me. DonG

One small bump and the forks will bottom out.

I don’t own a stock bike.
Also just because I point out the glaring deficiencies in a finished product, it doesn’t mean I’m grumpy, I actually get a lot of joy from it.

I like it quite a lot, esp the tank and seat.... Not a fan of the mufflers but otherwise, cool bike

I don’t like the bars and the way they are mounted is cobby.

We're not all like that.

At least one of us is a virtue - signaling prig who doesn't understand the concept of a "discussion forum" and who melts into a whiney puddle if anyone disagrees with him.

But we'll soldier on regardless.

What for?

The heat pump in its garage already has a filter, I'm guessing...
