cafe Guzzi

KICKSTARTS RULE!
Heres a pic of my MV/Magni inspired cafe Guzzi I rebuilt a couple of years ago
It started life as a California & I converted it over using all my own fibreglass, including the Lemans replica tank,homebrew solo seat & sidecovers,Agostini replica full fairing , my own cast alloy rearsets ,I also added a pair of adjustable Laverda Jota bars & a set of Koni shox, PHF 36mm Dellortos & a pair of Dunstall pipes. I also resprayed it in MV colour style :)

A California? Isn't that the bike David Soul rode in Magnum Force? Nice vintage lid, what is it?

Dunno about the David Soul/cali thing but the lid was an FFM Challenger, made in New Zealand [just like me.. LOL !]
 
Magnum Force was the second of the Dirty Harry movies. David Soul (Starsky & Hutch) played a rogue cop. He rides his California off the deck of an aircraft carrier at the end. You should check it out.

How did you do the form development? Clay?
Nice work. Very few people get into doing custom glass, fewer into their own casting! Sand cast aluminum? Lost wax?
