Why? Because you can?
well thanks for the opinion guys, I think I get the picture now.
I was hoping to find some links to people who might do this kind of work.
I am sure you realise how difficult this kind of job is and to suggest that you just knock one up and that its a diy job
is over simplifying what is a complex bit of frame re-jigging.
I am amused by your use of the word 'obsolete' for the guzzi ?
surely all guzzis are obsolete in that case ? absolutely! and so are we the owners.
Are the modern ones really so different ?
even the manufacturers are going back to basics with the new V7.
I think the older models and their engines are of a far superior build quality LOL! you must be daft!
in terms of engineering (electrics aside !).
Its why they are still so popular now , I thought thats why sites like this existed ?
So as you can see I disagree that they are obselete, and I will investigate
the frame and bike build elsewhere, where people are interested. we are interested, post some pics.
Luka, sorry you got a bunch of Winter-Blue replies.Just seen some pics of a Guzzi cafe racer with a monoshock conversion to a Tonti frame,
Does anyone know where this can be done or where to get the parts needed to do it ?
Appreciate any links?
Per above, be sure the shock is set it to work in the correct geometry like your conversion. Many will not work. Ed, do you have the old mono swingarm still?For the monoshock conversion, you basically triangulate the upper swingarm and connect it via a shock to the frame cross member under the seat. 1990's Ducati 900ss Showa shocks are good for this conversion. Have a shock in hand before you do the conversion as the length will determine your geometry. There is no kit...you have to fabricate everything.
Geez, aren't we sensitive.... I wanted to save you the trouble, or at least make it clear what you were in for.
