Well, it's finally done. My labor of love. This cream-puff (5,500 original, one-owner miles) that I went and retrieved from KS City, KS in October, is done and ready for the road in the spring. It's for my youngest son, Morgan. He's a Masters Degree student in Computer Science and he's upgrading from a Kawasaki EX500 Ninja.
He's stoked. I'm stoked for him!
New Aprilia 850 Mana handlebars which are wider and further back but tapped at the ends for a perfect swap-over of the stock Moto Guzzi bar weights and controls, complete major service with new air and fuel filters, new plugs (all 4), new tires, new hard-start relay, new Stein Dinse Center-Stand, hand polished out all stains and markings on the pipes and exhaust. Paint and body-finishes, cleaned and restoration done.
She's a beauty! Truly. What a blast to drive it now too!
