Magnificent Guzzi 1000 "V7 style" motorcycle, on Le Mans 2 base (vintage 1980)
Made in collaboration with the famous Italian tuners Bruno Scola (Millepercento) and Guiseppe Veneziano (Old Motor)
As you can see in the photos, the transformation work concerned the whole motorcycle, from the chassis to the mechanics, including its aesthetics
The first operation concerned the replacement of the original superstructures, for which he was inspired by the shapes of endurance race bikes, which was not an easy operation.
Veglia Borletti tachometer, Koni shock absorbers
Frame stiffened by an aluminium connector, linking the two halves of the frame
The fork structure was stiffened with Tarozzi anti-torsion plate
Lightweight flywheel, high capacity oil reservoir
Dyna electronic ignition
New engine (0 km); cylinders (1000 cm)
High compression cylinder heads and pistons with Nikasil treatment
Handcrafted exhaust manifolds, producing a symphony that the true enthusiast cannot listen to without getting goosebumps.
