Yeah, you'll probably like it; I was impressed with how well they worked on my V50 Monza. I ended up delinking mine anyway though since I wanted some consistency between my bikes. I rarely use my rear brakes on the other bikes I ride and the single front on the Guzzi was marginal at best. If...

Are you planning on keeping the linked brakes?

Nice; I was hoofing it to brekkie when I saw ya. Bike is looking good!

Was that you I saw on Division this AM?

Corrados? The only thing those are good for is a MK2 VR swap... ;D

Yeah, shit. I hadn't thought about that. Even with some sort of isolator, I'd be concerned about resting the tank directly onto that backbone. Lemme noodle on that for a bit...

Man, I gotta apologize for being such a pain. The dimensions look good, but I think that tab off the back is gonna put a hitch in my get-a-long; I think I'd wanna mount the tank Norton style, with a SS strap. Can that tab be removed without comprising the integrity of the tank, or can you cast...

Spanks!

What's the capacity of that tank?

Yeah, I fully dig that FB tank. Problem is, it will definitely need to occupy some space that is currently occupied by my seat. Would you mind throwing a tape on it and measuring the distance in the pic so I know just how far I'd need to trim my seatpan? How deep is that mount tab that...

Ever get the chance to throw that tank up on the 550?

Well if it was easy, everybody would be doing it, right? So does that f-bed tank use the factory pucks as well? Any idea how it looks sitting on the 550?

I'm working on a 550 as well; can you check the fitment of that manx tank while you're at it?

Looks good. What provisions does it have for mounting to the frame? It looks like you've eliminated that hole for mounting it to the backbone...

Any other photos of this one?

Haha, the best part of that would be watching the neighborhood street urchins bounce off the garage door when they walk into it. Sorta like the little birdies that bang into the living room windows. Totally worth the price of admission.

The Tarozzi's that are made for the CB500 will also fit the early 550 frames: If you're not completely opposed to a little DIY, you could also use a set of the universal rearsets and make your own linkage pieces; that's what I did on my 550.

So after bombing around town all summer on the CL175 that I restored over the winter, I decided that what I really needed was something with a little more poop. The little fella is a blast, but I'd like to at least be able to keep pace with traffic on the open road. So, after a week or so of...

LOL. Sorry to hijack your thread, but I was in the same boat as you last weekend and ended up doing the same thing: That's why I never throw anything away.

I just went from six to midnight. :o If you want to make it easy on yourself, pick up a set of rearsets from an FZR600; they're about as bolt-on as you can get.
