I’m not a builder in the same sense as Canuck and most notably Buzzer, but please don’t think your bike is not worth the possible spend.
It is a journey that will have highs and lows, but at the end it will be a representation of what you desire and when you bend metal to suit your tastes it is very satisfying.
Remember mate…
If YOU like it, then it cannot be wrong….
Have a look at what Buzzer did with what he started with, he is a Professor and most of us are students by comparison, but it’s the journey mate, not the destination.
Just for a light bit of reading, search “Fence post Guzzi” from a few years back.
The “Moto Guzzi Lazarus…..”
Sorry it took so long to get a response and welcome to the madness of the forum.
