Yes the headstock is standard .the forks are from a T5

Frame paint is Ford tractor blue and was E10 a liter!

Hereis another picture of the fishtail, made by welding together different ready made sections of 'dairy tube' widely availlable.

The 1000S I picked up about a year and a half ago is now fully sorted.

Wow. What a beauty! Were the square fin barrels original to the 1000S? Great job!

I know Pete has some :) animus toward Todd Egan .. but Todd has always treated me like family. Saw him at the Rock Store the last time I was in SoCal, caught up on old times.. and this is what is left of his Jackal. :rasta:

Pete has said he would like to see a carc on a "modern" Guzzi, so here it is. It's behind a heated up V11S engine. High zoot front end etc. etc. Very well done, too.

I like Todd too. Don’t get the hostility towards him.

But this general trend of tail-less modern Manx-style motorcycles leaves me cold. The proportions are all wrong.

Some of them are so extreme as to look ridiculous. Look at pipeburn.com for some really bad examples.
