Sadly i'm with you - love absolutely everything else so far....... Headlight needs to go in the bin......

Headlamps marmite,

I like it, so all the rest can do one

I suppose the proof of the pudding so to speak will be whats the beam pattern and throw like.

If it give a good pattern and throw, then it's happy days, if it doesn't then its not the end of the world.

Hurry up and finish it though

Thanks for comments fellas. I’m reserving judgment on the headlight for now.

Managed to get a bit of time back today so made a bit more progress.

Fuel filters arrived from China,



and the rear caliper went on.



I know - there are pinch bolts and shock absorber bolts missing.

And front callipers and mud guard mounts just offered up. They need to come off again so I can fit the mudguard.

Finally for today it’s the footboards and levers, and side stand.

Looking at the calliper bolts, you can get shallow headed ones, look far better.

The bike is going to be gorgeous, the tank looks lovely while sat in the car.

Most definitely rates as Guzzi porn.

Yeah I may swap the Allen bolts for hex heads on the callipers. The tank and side panels are in a high gloss high sparkle black metallic - but looks flat black out of the sun.

Still not sure about that headlight, but let's see eh?

Loving this thread

Got me thinking about getting another Guzzi one day soon.

BUT......It's a no from me for the headlight. (sorry)

 

[Davy F]

Have to say...the Guzzi V twin is so much better/prettier/purposeful etc looking than a boxer twin.

 

[Nin]

A few more steps tonight.

Little things, but this pleases me ...
