Thanks to everyone on the forum that answered by questions including RacerX.
Also thanks to Rose Farm Classics, Mg Cycle, Moto Guzzi Classics, Mph, and Harpers.
A fun project but a money suck like RacerX said. Let's see what happens when MKII
gets started.
 
My pleasure... and nice job! Any other pictures, perhaps a little brighter?

I've posted mine and yours below for comparo. ;)

Re:My 2004 Stone Project with new pics

Here's a couple more pics. Not as scenic as Todd's but I live in Illinois. I guess your bike served as more inspiration then I thought Todd:cheer:

Hoss, that is really nice looking and VERY well done. Could you go into some of how you did some things? As an over all, when you say it's expensive, what issues were you dealing with? Which make and model Moto Guzzi did the lattice style foot pegs hangers come on?
 
Thanks I'm glad you like it. I had fun doing it. I say expensive because it seems like no matter what part I was buying it was $300. The seat, the tank, the fuel pump and pressure regulator. I had to convert from the internal fuel pump on the 2004's to the earlier spec. Also bought most off the parts new as I didn't see whole lot of stuff on Ebay or else where and had the I want it done now attitude. As far as fitting parts it was pretty easy:
Fuel tank, after all the stock parts were removed I used the V-7 bushings and tunnel rubber and it sat right in place. I did have to bend the stock brackets a little.
The stock airbox was removed and pod filters are used instead
The seat and fender bolt right up to the stock holes at the back of the frame. My friend made me some thumb screws to hold it in place.
Side covers are 850-T with the toolboxes removed and the stock Stone tabs are used to hold them in place. I moved the computer and fuse block inward to make them fit close to the frame.
The foot hangers are from a SPIII or a T-5
Hope this answers some of you questions. I have a few build pictures and can take others if you have specific questions.
 
Great work! I am doing something similar with my Jackal- hope to have her finished in time for the Spring. Have decided to get new alloy wheel rims built (am expanding the rear to 18 inches). having them powdercoated in black with stainless spokes. I have removed the paint from the forks and polished them- they are being rebuilt by Maxton.

Standard headlight and instruments are going too- they sit to high and just dont look right - will be getting a nice aftermarket tach / speedo unit.

Work in progress:
