Hi folks,
My Racer II is approximately 2 months old and I ran the bike for nearly 4000 km.
Since I bought the bike I really loved it but hated the mirrors and grips.
Maybe sof you remember that I replaced those low quality material with OEM bar end mirrors and rizoma grips.
After that I realised that, the bumpy rear fender and taillight group seems very bad to me.
I searched about fender eliminator kits.
But then decided that no rear fender look is not the one I was searching for.
And I decided to give a try to OEM modification options.
I found that dapper kit which is served by Moto Guzzi is suitable for me.
aliminium short fenders and racing licence plate bracket and rear idicator brackets.
Luckly my local dealer has the parts I need and I could buy them without waiting shipping time.
Immediately I took the bike and the parts to shop.
IT's so rainy nowadays so the bike is in dirt and mud.
Here is the first photo of the process:
We start with front fender.
When we loose the black plastic fender it's obvius that the new one is shorter :
Looks more combined with the bike overall and it's more sporty:
After that, started to rear. Rear fender is really huge and heavy. And looks real old to me:
New shiny and sporty rear fender:
Now It's time for the tail light and rear indicators. I prefered the stock tail light and signals because the universal ones dont look really quality to me. Maybe rizoma turn signals are good but they dont look retro like to stock ones. So we seperated the signals from tail light.
And mounted the taillight to new racing plate bracket.
The rear part looks smooth and clean now.
After that we mounted the turn signal brackets and wired the signals. But unfortunately my phones battery died and couldnt have those process photos.
And today after a cleaning of the bike. Here is the result.
Please give your opinion :
And there is a photo of bike with all stock version. When I bought it on March 2016.
what do you think ? Does she look good ?
What else can be done ?
I will add cafe fairing and custom seat cowl. And after that I will try to buy exhaust silencers but not sure about which one.Wanna hear your thoughts.
Have fun, ride safe.
