docc Posted March 10 Report Share Posted March 10 Awesome, @gkaan! Thanks for the follow-up!! She looks GREAT!! Pink-faded frame side plates are a very early production issue. I also spy the finned steel exhaust flanges (early production). So, very curious: what is the build date on your left side headstock tag?

80CX100 Posted March 11 Report Share Posted March 11 Tks very much for the update, your bike looks lovely! Wishing you many safe miles and smiles. Enquiring minds want to know, which lowering peg kit did you get, and please share any thoughts on the installation and use, it's one of the few things I haven't done to mine, that I'm still considering. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gkaan Posted March 11 Author Report Share Posted March 11 Not sure of the brand and I'm pretty sure I bought them from Twisted Throttle. They took months to arrive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docc Posted March 11 Report Share Posted March 11 @gkaan, still very curious about your build date on your early Sport! Was it in 1999? (I'm likely also going to get you looking at your triple clamp numbers in search of the early steep rake Demon Triples . . . ) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gkaan Posted March 11 Author Report Share Posted March 11 I couldn't read the date on the headstock as it appears worn down thru the years. I'll double check again. Demons be dammed! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Sport is 3/2000 and has the smooth alloy exhaust flanges and the side plates never faded to pink. Not that Guzzi ever made changes all at once, at a particular inception date. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's as simple as a batch issue docc, same as the crinkle finish cases. Some fall off and some don't. Ciao 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
