A single sided swing arm on a cafe racer is fresh.
Beautiful. Love the polished metal.
Congratulations on being featured.

Is a factory cafe racer allowed?

Yes but only because of the B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L woman posing beside it! :o

Here is my V7 Special after a few changes in the Cafe Style...gotta save some money for a custom seat and fairing next I think.

That's nice.

Has anyone put a Carc swingarm on a Tonti frame? How wide can you go on a standard swingarm?

Gregor, Glad to see that you still have the bike. Do you see much of Simone? I assume he still has his V7 Sports.

Tom

PS. Remember that ride a bunch of us did up to Lars Anderson back in 98/99? and we ended up staying in the dishwasher's house because we couldn't find a motel?

Mine:

I don't see Simone much now that he's a big rock star! Although I'd emailed him about the Guzzi before I bought it and he's offered to get my parts from Italy if I need. He very much is a collector of V7's now. That ride was one of the most fun I remember. Cold, rain, and how those guys thought we wanted to party and all we wanted was a warm place to sleep. Still one of my favorite stories.

I've got a 140/70-18 on a 4" wide rim on the rear of my LMIV, but it has a Magni swingarm.

They have a version that uses a 4.5" rime and a 160/70-17 rear tire.

My sidecar LMIV has a 155/70-13 on a 4" wide rim with a standard swingarm, but it's offset to the left 1/2" or so.

Thanks. I'm considering options for my Lemans and I'd like to end up with a 160 as I like that size for both look and feel. I assume most have seen the Dynotec bikes - http://www.dynotec.de. They're quite nice:

Dogwalker · « **Reply #371 on:** September 19, 2013, 09:11:10 AM »

Posted on another thread.

Small block, V65 crankshaft, Pankl connecting rods, 81mm Suzuki Hayabusa modified pistons (so, 660 cm3 displacement), custom made 2 valves heads with single on head camshaft and trapezioidal combustion chamber, Dell'Orto PHM 40mm carburetors,
Built by a local (of Mandello) group of enthusiasts and engineers. The bike weighs about 130kg, and the engine deliver around 100 hp at 13500 rpm, being probably the most powerful Guzzi small block ever.

They are actually building a dry sump version of the engine.

sakurama · « **Reply #372 on:** September 19, 2013, 09:42:23 AM »

Wow, do you have a link to more info on the bike? That's a very special Guzzi.

st2lemans · « **Reply #373 on:** September 19, 2013, 10:24:50 AM »

Saw it last weekend in Mandello.

I see that bike has an oil cooler.

Wonder where/how they plumbed it?

Chuck in Indiana · « **Reply #377 on:** September 19, 2013, 07:13:10 PM »

That sucker would certainly *need* an oil cooler. I'd like to see more tech stuff on it.. ;-T

That is beautiful. How did you do the knee recesses in the tank and tell us about the other tasty bits.
