Beuphonium Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 Salutations! Call me crazy, but I was bitten (once again) by the Guzzi bug (for a wide variety of reasons I can delve into later). Regardless, the object of my desire being a LeMans Nero Corsa, I set about attempting to locate one, which I did, only to have it sold out from under me. Since then I have discovered that Nero Corsas seem to have been manufactured, much like the parts for my V65SP, from pure unobtanium. Thus, I decided to invest in a Cafe Sport, as I really wanted the ohlins setup. Again, I may be crazy for asking, but exactly what would be involved to turn this thing into a bronzo-corsa? Having sat on both the LeMans and the Ballabio I can say that I very much prefer the feel the Lemans has over the high-handlebar setup. My understanding is that I'd need the lemans faring, all the related hardware, clip ons, a new top clamp, dash plate... etc etc etc. Any experiences doing this? Would I be better off attempting to find a Magni kit? Anyway, I'm usually not the type to be taking apart a brand-new machine, but after three months of searching for what I wanted to no avail, the only available option seems to be to make it. Hopefully I'll be able to get it set up Thanks, Joe K -84 V65SP -04 V11 Cafe Sport -73 MGB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Minnaert Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 This is not to hard to do, if you have the parts, one afternoon will do. From time to time on ebay are complete sets for sale. There is one in germany who bought all stock from guzzi v11 parts, www.hmb-guzzi.de ,mail him if he has the parts for you . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you considered buying a Rosso Corsa? There is a nice, low-mileage example in the classifieds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg Field Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 All Guzzis of the last what, 10 years, are 50-state legal, so it wouldn't need the 7,500 miles. This is why the Breva 1100 was delayed until December, or at least that's the latest excuse those Aprilia bastards deigned to offer. And, as I think I told you on the phone, Cafe Sports, new, are $9,990. If you buy the mounts to move the silly Billy Bob fairing in so it turns with the bars, a la the Scura and Rosso Mandello, it will look kick-ass cool and offer some small increase in wind protection. This is what I am doing to my own Billy Bob, with a Coppa tank and fairing, though. It'll be almost too purty to ride . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
