These VIN systems all sound very precise and logical and a useful "standard" but the reality is they are not. There has never been a hard and fast international "standard" VIN system. I've been here before even for my Supra. The VIN on the Supra and all the other Au cars not just mine doesn't 100% correspond to any known VIN system. Bits and pieces align but a lot of the digits don't. If you do research on the VIN numbering system it's anything but an international "standard" over the last 40 years. From the shop manual for what thats worth. Phil

The first point is the Ti mufflers have large volume and the crossover style makes a difference. Contis were the original Ducati Supersport performance mufflers. They had a louvered inner straight pipe and no packing material. They would sound like a Ducati on your Guzzi but with a softer sound (less sharp crack) due to the softer cam timing of a BB Guzzi compared to the Desmo cams.

Something got lost in the translation. Phil

Not as many as you. Phil

I think different secondary pipes to get the higher angle. Phil

Just the golden colour they eventually go to after use. I have some pillion high mounts I think I can sell you if you need them. Phil

You need to get out more, lol. that's got no class or elegance at all. Ignoring the silly inlet trumpets I offer this as a much more classy exhibit. Phil

The ecu isn't necessary it will run fine on the std ecu mapping so don't pay for that. The last 2 images are the same setup with the high mount pillion pegs and adaptors. The images are taken at different angles and makes it deceptive. Phil

Just realised how similar elements of these songs are.

You dropped it on both sides? Phil
