Photos of my effort to convert a G5 into something else with the help of Greg, Wolfgand, Ed, Gordon, and a host of others. I've made a bicycle frame or two many years ago and used to feel a bicycle was bout as complex a thing as someone could fully master at one time. Four months into this Cafe project, I think this was probably right.
Tarozzi fixed rearset and tall clip ons. New headlight, Tomaselli Daytona, Brembo front rotors, 4 pot calipers, delinked brakes, rectangular front master cylinder (brake and hydraulic clutch)with polished adjustaqble levers. V11 style rear master cylinder mounted upside down and backwards (with extra strong) masking tape. Removing almost all welded frame tabs and replacing with bicycle braze-on bosses. Various other mounting bits are being fabbed as for old school custom bicycle frames (file and eye) - very pre-carbon fiber stuff. Sorting through the electrical system - Many thanks to Carl Allison.
Not shown, Guzzi-Tech modified swingarm (stock swingarm is viaually weak, but probably strong enough for my riding). Motowheels ultralight battery (to offset the increased weight of the stiffend swingarm). An actual aluminum tank (this model is off to Friedhelm end of the week after I make a few measurements). Top with an unspecified 2:1 exhaust from my local guy or Price Sloan and Motogadget white face multifunction gauge. Powdercoat the lot something neutral, then add color to suit.
Oops - Guess I can only attach one photo, but that enough for a post this full of ones--self. Another when its finished.
