Hi nala,
Stunning looking Guzzi, I really really like what you have done there. I might have gone for lower bars but that's just a personal preference.
Candidate for CBOTY in my opinion (seriously)
Cheers Zunspec

Thanks for the comments folks .
Seat is off an early Duke 900SS it took a bit of work but nothing to serious,i extended the front,had it recovered and fitted rubber exhaust type thimbles to mount it to the frame.Had to weld a couple of brackets to the frame so these would fit.
Must admit hooli,that beautifull Duke seat doesn't look as good on mine as on a Duke,bit of a compromise to get the right length for comfort without me knees hitting the heads,Manx Norton seat i borrowed looked good ,but i had this one handy
Bike seems to go well,but have'nt given it any real welly yet,but seems very responsive,and handles great.

I'm leaving them on SD,the bars look higher in the pic,but they are certainly not clip ons.
No !, iv'e been there before with Tritons etc,i just want something to be reasonably comfortable for the longer trips,besides its good fun,the main thing is i'm to bloody old,its comfort before form now,and fairings are for cissy's anyway

well said that man, a proper bike doesnt need wrapping in tuppaware before taking outside.
