Is this a true Giuliari?
« on: November 29, 2008, 05:31:08 AM »
Recently I’ve seen pics here of a seat called Giuliari. Some even started drooling. It reminded me that somewhere deep in the basement I had a similar buddy. I never bothered to mount it as Giuli leaves no room for my Julie, if you know what I mean. Now, how can I tell it’s a true Giuli? I mean, were his works of art numbered and do I have to look for the maestro's signature somewhere? Michelangelo Giuliari? Leonardo da Giuliari maybe? Were there imitations? Before I swap seats and Julie – now there’s a true masterpiece –, I would like to know who and what. Who is this Giuliari fellah? Can I trust his seat or do I have to re-jet my exhaust?

I would call it a true "half" Giuliari seat. This means, it is a nice and original rear section of a Giuliari.
If you wanna be 100% sure to own an original, you could remove the foam taking a look at the steel pan.
if it looks like this, then you are proud owner of an original.  ;)

Well, you wouldn't call my Julie 'half' and so, if the choice is between her and 'the rear section of Giuliari', that choice is easily made.

I have a white Giuliari on my bike, it is the one on the picture. It is a bit longer and as far as I can see thinner, but the rear looks the same. The original has brands on it that says Honda "CB 500 four" and "Giuliari" on the rear.
