Just got it firing!
Hi all. I am a 58 year old Guzzi noob. Just bought a 1981 V50 Monza that is mechanically great but cosmetically challenged. It was a NYC bike all its life - parked on the street but maintained well by a good mechanic.
I want to make it into a baby LeMans I. Plan to have the nasty seat recovered with a LeMans 1 style cover, have the ratty exhaust pipes done in black, and paint all the body work in LeMans red.
I also want to replace the fairing and headlight with a round headlight and LeMans1 fairing. I see repro fairings are available as well as headlights - even upgraded LED headlights. I was wondering if anybody on the forum knows where I can get the brackets to adapt a LeMans I fairing and headlight to a V50 Monza. Also, do I need to swap out the instruments or should I do that? I also need to get new rear directional lights if there is a good source for those.
Lastly are all the decals I need available? Where can I source them?
Thanks for any help! Pete
