« on: February 26, 2010, 12:10:30 PM »

I bougth it in Ravenna it's was a first hand, and i found it lovely with vintage parts of the middle 70' years.

It's a K2 of 1974 year.

THAT is one sexy looking exhaust on that bike. beautiful machine, just one question, why are the brake and shifter levers on the wrong sides?

Very nice Georges!

Quick question - the silver bike on the left in the forst 2 photos - is that a CB750? If so what silver fairing do you have mounted on it? Looks very good.

Thanks
Andy

i think that may be a benelli.  

i like the mirrors on the center bike. the fairing on your avatar bike, wheels on the silver... actually, they all are very cool.  ;D

I'll agree, it's a benelli, but who makes that fairing?

i think it's oem. but i've been keeping my eyes open for (aftermarket) fairings to use with standard handle bars as opposed to clubmans or clip on.

It's not an exact match, but the Kawasaki Z1R replica fairing made by Airtech is awfully close to the Benelli unit.

Two versions for this modification le more sexy it was to have the same system like a 750 Daytona but the real reason the ancient owner had a Guzzi before and he wanted the sames sides for the levers ;)

i like that brown (suede?) seat with the blue bleu livery. i would think the shocks with the oil reservoir at the top mount to reduce unsprung weight would be preferable.  but then i'm being picky.  ;D

are those home built exhausts?

I still think duel headlights are so damn sexy..

..Yummy..
Cafe Racing is mainly a matter of taste. It is an atavistic mentality, a peculiar mix of low style, high speed, pure dumbness, and overweening commitment to the Cafe Life and all its dangerous pleasures. I am a Cafe Racer myself, on some days - and it is one of my finest addictions. ~H. S. Thompson~
