| Modifications: | The bike has been completely restored, and customized to resemble a Moto Guzzi Lemans. Stock bars replaced with Tomaselli clip-ons, forks raised through triples to shorten wheelbase and improve steering responsiveness This had the added advantage of lowering what is quite a high bike, allowing me (5'7" 98lbs) to reach the ground much more securely. Progressive springs and steering dampener to improve handling. Replica Dunstal "power pipe" exhaust system (noticable increase in power necessitating the handling improvements). Headlight and fairing moved forward and down to accommodate clip-ons. Custom designed "solo" style dual seat, custom paint and decals. The bike took "Best Custom" at the Canadian Vintage Motorcycle Club Rally, Penoka '99 and "Best Japanese" at the last annual Biggar British Bike Rally held in Biggar Saskatchewan. | |
