Our friend Greg here masterminded this design on his personal Audace, and we duplicated it for a friend of his in Portland. Both Greg and this owner are very big boys. Thought I’d share it here as well as our social media channels. Enjoy.

Very sinister looking. Nice bike!
I've seen freight trains that looked shorter than that ... 
Looks quite nice, actually, if not my preferred style or riding position. I imagine it makes a nice rumble.

Cool! I'd like to see a picture that shows the fender detail at the rear. Any idea as to the weight savings?

Just got it firing!
Todd: This bike looks great! I love the idea of my Audace having more ground clearance and improving the handling. What are those shocks? How long are they? Did you lengthen the front forks as well?
Give us the details on that build if you don't mind. I'm sure there are folks like me who'd love to get a little bit more performance out of the chassis to match the wonderful stuff you've offered for our engines. That fender looks great too.

Shocks are Penskes; https://gtmotocycles.com/products/penske-8983-twin-shocks - forks are still stock length, just re-sprung and re-valved here @ GTM.
I really can't get into too much detail here on the build, it was all done in house. Fenders were cut down, (front and rear). Bike ran our full fuel kit and the exhaust is from Italy. Exhaust was not loud at all as it is choked way down internally; Poor construction, and high price... it also wasn't plug and play for this model. We here at GTM can build a better system.

Verry nice, I like to see the driveshaft on a Guzzi, not like my California.

thanks Todd! you already are building me a better exhaust! I'm excited and should be seeing it and your fuel kit soon. i'm hoping that my Audace is going to be dialed with all these go-fast goodies and most importantly will be properly tuned for my trip from San Diego to Boulder.
Out of curiosity is it possible to get that stance with your GTM 2ws shocks? How long a shock can one use with the stock swing arm/drive-shaft?
