Moto Guzzi Bratstyle by Cédric

Today, we change style, with a Moto Guzzi V50 II of 1980 Directed by Cédric in the Bratstyle way. 

Here is the motorcycle before transformation:

What changes have you made to your motorcycle? 

Motor refection, gearbox, suspension (fork and Arm Custom V65), installation of an electronic switch Sachs, carburetor, lithium battery, electric bundles with Motogadget central, tolery (Refreted argument, Custom V65 tank and adapt For the saddle/tank junction, painting ...

Here is the result: 

Tell us your story with this preparation (why this style? Why this model? ...):

For the model, a poor motorcycle guzzi wreck at 900 euros, a model not crazy and not really popular so the opportunity to express a little. The style was to make functional and rolling (I live in the mountains) so travel, to prevent the motorcycle be a medieval torture tool. For the general line, I wanted a fairly refined motorcycle whose bulk of the work will not be visible, and especially not to adapt the style to the function but the reverse, so the frame was not affected. We had to deal with longer sludge guards, an apparent battery (the lithium ok, but accessible if it decides to express our dissatisfaction, therefore a closed and quickly removed in case ...) and wider tires tracks (original it is a road bike) but impossible on the original ride, therefore refection of the cardan transmission to adapt an arm of California. For the general aluminum aluminum/black and gray nardo on the menu. The saddle to my big regret is not tailor -made, but I am really zero in sewing. 1 little year, 900 euros motorcycle, 1500 euros in parts, a lot of beer, a lot of music and a time of time spent doing things that have market and others absolutely not. Sorry for the not top photos, the motorcycle at 1700 km on it, and against all odds it works. Sincerely

Here are some photos of the details: 

Thank you Cédric for this sharing, it's nice to see an Italian especially when she is well prepared.
