  1. Certainly not as visually appealing as 3k twill... I’ll ship them my cover tomorrow and they are damn good at what they do. It would be nice to get pieces like this.
     

    You can’t find factory stuff (unless it’s 2nd or more hand). My cover and fender is sun burned. Someone left the poor girl outside... a lot.

    Ooooh, where you get the carbon bodywork???

    I sent a new tail fairing and my pillion cover plus a '03 fuel tank to Exotic Car Gear. They did all the laminating in 3k twill CF. It was $1,800 to do all 3 pieces.

  3. In my opinion and experience in the field, anytime I do wiring work on my equipment I use marine grade tinned wire one size up. I have 100ft spools  of of this exact stuff at my shop.

    @docc have you thought about using a nice dollop of potting epoxy? Something like this?

  4. I’m going to try and pawn this job off to the pro’s.. a new pump is unfairly priced. I got lucky and paid a reasonable amount for mine.

    Be just my luck I ruin it....

  5. I love that era, seeing a vintage Ferrari or Aston equipped with a set of Marchal’s gets me right in the feels...it’s a shame that storied brand is now being slapped on cheap ass Asian crap. 
     

    I found a company in France who specializes in finding exotic old school lighting and they have a few of these NOS. 

    So I had to get one.. if you do some more digging around there’s a guy with a site on Panteras and he goes into the lighting thing deep.

    I'll take on the job of asking many of the questions about the suspension. Particularly what you are doing with the forks. :thumbsup:

    Looking forward to it

    I am not using any factory Ohlins components. The forks are top secret till they arrive. I will say that they will have Mupo K911 Cartridges in them.

  8. Overview:

    Taking the best of three generations of Guzzi's last real sport bikes and pay honor and also a tribute to Italy's oldest Motorcycle company.

    From the Daytona:

    4V High cam Engine.

    V11:

    Will serve as the build point. Using the 6 speed transmission with the Daytona engine as the main part.

    MGS-01

    Wheels 

    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Engine will be modified with a geared timing system, upgraded oil pump and cam followers. Displacement increase along with bigger valves and a lot of expensive head work.

    Suspension will be completely  replaced. Mupo Italy will provide the rear shock, Steering damper and Fork Cartridges. The forks i am waiting on to be built and i will show everyone when i have them here.

    Radial Brembo GP Calipers front axle.

    Frame will remain stock aside from the front subframe from my Centauro donor bike. 

    Body is "skinned" in Carbon fiber and a Honda CR750 Full Fairing will be fitted. 

    A NOS SEV MARCHAL H1 +H3 Amplilux Headlight
