Re: Guzzi Le Mans
Yeah, Guzzis are the shitz, I love my SP1000. I'd like to know where the bike shown here has it's battery and other electrical stuff hidden. And where that tank and boat tail came from. I have another SP1000 project bike that I'd like to cafe out.

Electrics could be hidden in the seat hump. This bike was also posted on bike Exif last week.

Re: Guzzi Le Mans
Guzzis use a pretty large garden tractor looking battery. Mine wouldn't fit in that seat hump. You'd also need to run your cables down the tonti frame and they'd be hard to hide. Yeah, I've seen the tank shop's prices, but they are offset by the relative low prices of 20 year old Guzzis.

They could have hid the battery and electrics inside/under the tank. If that's just gas it probably holds 8+ gals. |

Re: Guzzi Le Mans
Very tasty stuff. Guzzi's are usually pretty ugly in normal clothes but this is bare bones goodness. Viva Italia!!

Re: Guzzi Le Mans
I love me some Guzzi's. You can trace a direct line from those to the newer V11 Sports. Stripped down beasts...

Re: Guzzi Le Mans
I am working on a 72 Eldorado now. I bought it when I was 13 and pushed the beast home, NOT an easy task. After 26 years of on and off work, hopefully I can finally make it what I wanted to begin with.
Love the LeMans, by far my favorite! |

Re: Guzzi Le Mans
an English friend on mine who now resides in Australia has a '79 Le Mans he bought new in London when he was 19. he's now done more than 400,000 recorded miles (600,00 Kms), over 45 countries around the world on the thing and still rides it every day, it's no concourse winner but he knows every nut and bolt on it so well he could do an oil change in the dark.
