Magnificent Tony, So glad you shared this video and that I got a chance to watch it! You have borought a little bit of joy into this world with this bike!
Followed the build on FB, enjoyed the video albeit with a large amount of envy at the skill level and continually thinking 'why didn't I do that'. Take care and Happy New Year when it comes.
I have always loved the Moto Guzzi Engines.... Great job Tony it is beautiful....way better looking now then when new....I have never liked the "Custom Look" and they are way more difficult to get the right stance when modifying. Simple and clean the way it should be! The machine work is fantastic as well!
Kimbo? Who is Kimbo? I am the only Kjmbo i know. I did own a v7 sport for ten years. My favorite bike and probably the best handling bike i ever rode. Think the rotation of engine, flywheel, clutch, transmission drive shaft in one plane and the wheels and ring gear rotating in a perpendicular plane creates a gyroscopic stability that made picking a line, leaning the bike and and the Guzzi would hold that line and lean angle through the entire turn.
The bike looks great! Love the colour and the mazing work you have done. I notice you no longer have the battery plate but I couldn't see anything else there which is doing its job in its place. I replaced my original battery plate because it had split in one corner and the holes were ovalled, evidence that a lot of twisting forces go through this plate. I think on some Calis they had a part of the frame that came down to meet the gearbox but I can't see that either.
That big empty space where the air box was would have to become the fuel tank, improving the COG significantly. Or as an auxiliary tank it would be very effective as well. Beautiful machine ✌️🇺🇸
Bellissima custom complimenti Tony, una nuda minimalista speciale, chissà che emozioni provi guidandola. Lavoro da genio della meccanica sei un mago. Ti mando un saluto speciale dal lago maggiore ciao e buona fortuna.
thank you! it rides like a dream! I have fond memories of our holidays on lake Maggiore! check out my blog for my other bikes... www.jtccc.wordpress.com
thanks, round covers will fit with an adaptor plate, but I actually quite like the ones that are on, especially as the round one asre so expensive to buy!
outstanding! someone notable in the moto world said rhe way to build a good bike "is to add lightness, and simplicate.' but i wouldn't ride without a rear mud guard. even sunny sunday riders get caught in the rain.
Thanks! The tank is off a V7 and I have blanked off the fuel pump opening with a plate and welded on an outlet at the rear. There is much more information on my blog but I am happy to answer any questions you have www.jtccc.wordpress.com
Thanks! I started off with a 60 grit flap wheel to take the bulk of the material off. I then used a flat sanding disc with, 180 grit to finish it off. I also used some thin sheet steel between the fins so I didn’t damage the one underneath as I was grinding. There is more information on my blog, and also if you look through my videos on here, there is one of me actually doing it to the barrels. Www.Jtccc.Wordpress.Com

@@jtccc I was on my Bellagio with the V7 tank and seat. You also had the Ducati in the same colour, absolutely beautiful bikes you really have a talent. It was a lovely day out seeing so many beautiful Italian bikes.
@@paulcooper5610 yes I remember seeing your bike. Very nice. Yes I was also there on one of my Ducati‘s. I have built quite a few over the years, but that was my first Guzzi, but not the last! Take a look at my blog. www.jtccc.Wordpress.com
Hi, I was lucky and managed to buy a big box of Brembo seal kits many years ago and have slowly used them up over the years... they are difficult to get now, but there are some on Ebay. |I bought the seals amd many other parts from Gutsibits as they are very good and competitive!
Hi. That one is 10mm with 1mm wall thickness… but I also use 12mm 2mm if it needs to be stronger. More information on my blog 👍 www.jtccc.wordpress.com
@@jtccc Interesting! Love your solution for manufacturing the ends of the tube. I had the same problem in my build and I ended up ordering a milled part and welding it.
Hi Tim, no problem. I use an ignitech TICP4 which is a very good unit. its fully programable and will work off the existing sensors. more infor on my blog, but always happy to answer questions! www.jtccc.wordpress.com
@@jtccc interesting. very hard to see it. I appreciate the huge work you put in! I have a SP2 that bought new in 1985 and rode me all across Europe several times. All original.
@@fabiopunk1661 thanks, take a look at my blog, there are some more pictures on there... I am looking forward to riding it, never ridden a guzzi before, its usually Ducati and Harley! www.jtccc.wordpress.com
Thank you for sharing your wonderful video. You did a fantastic job, Tony. The bike's a real piece of art! 👍
Formidable travail ! Bravo à toi tu es très doué ❤ amitiés d’Alsace
Beautiful work. Thank you for sharing some real hands-on engineering 👏
Fantastic build Tony, congratulations on a beautiful result! Love the etching, gives me an idea......
Awesome work
Magnificent Tony, So glad you shared this video and that I got a chance to watch it! You have borought a little bit of joy into this world with this bike!
Love the slack key music. Very peaceful and serene - complements the video very well. Good job on the build and on the video.
Followed the build on FB, enjoyed the video albeit with a large amount of envy at the skill level and continually thinking 'why didn't I do that'. Take care and Happy New Year when it comes.
That is lovely! Nice work.
Great job, I'm very impressed.
I'd fit round head covers, since you've gone the length of rounding the fins...
Love the brass details ❤️
Really stunning. A real keeper!
Incredible looking bike and true "old world craftsmanship" congrats on a really fine job!
Absolutely beautiful engineering done in traditional ways. And she sounds amazing.
A fantastic job and a spectacular result, a beautiful motorcycle. Congratulations.
Beautiful work, sir!
Nice to see this craftsmanship and hard dedicated work. Quite the transformation.
Tony - you’ve masterfully created a beautiful piece of rolling art. Nice work and congratulations.
Thank you very much!
Just fabulous… less is more. Breathtaking quality & style.
Well done. 👍✅😎

This is exceptionally cool. He who dies with the most tools wins! It looks like you have done lots with very little. Quite inspirational.
Impressive! Looks terrific 😁
Congratulations on a beautiful work for the Moto Guzzi Forever and very quality of sound made in Italy!!🥰🤩👍👏
Excellent work!
That is one seriouslly fine motorcycle! True work of art.
An absolute credit to you Tony,fabulous build.

Just read about your build in the club magazine 👍👍top work
Objects of such individual beauty, fashioned with such love and ability, make me appreciate humanity somewhat more. Time well spent, thank you!
i want the same in my garage 😋. Gorgeous, what a job !!!!
Very cool. I'm in awe.
Stunning!
Absolutely bloody amazing 👏 👏👏 !!!!!!!!!.
Well done sir ,well done ✔️ 👏.
Peace out ✌️
3 stars tech work I would like to do the same with my 850 LeMans 2 !
It's beautiful.

OK seen the bar extending from the frame down to the gearbox!
A masterpiece!
Very nice! Will read blog also !
What a beauty!
Very nice indeed. When you really want a Laverda, but you already have a Moto Guzzi...............
That big empty space where the air box was would have to become the fuel tank, improving the COG significantly. Or as an auxiliary tank it would be very effective as well. Beautiful machine ✌️🇺🇸
How a beauty 🎉!!

Fantastic

Tastefully done work on a great motorcycle. The fins threw me off at first.
Lovely👍

Beautiful , The Minimum Required for a Motorcycle , Well Done .
Wonderful bike! I just got myself acali 3 too and wish that I once looks like your's.
What tank is it? Best regards from Germany
Thanks! The tank is off a V7 and I have blanked off the fuel pump opening with a plate and welded on an outlet at the rear. There is much more information on my blog but I am happy to answer any questions you have www.jtccc.wordpress.com

What a great job and a good read in the Gambalunga. What did you use on your grinder for rounding off the barrels please?

molto bene. bellissimo😍👌🖖
Allen Millyard uses his bbq to warm and dry his parts with. Not his man parts obviously.
Did I see this bike at the Moto Italia at the Powis Arms a few weeks ago?

Wow nice piece of art on two wheels.......ride that Machine don't put it in the window.
nice, but where is the battery?
It’s under the gearbox 👍
I dont understand this empty space under seat..not this bike and not others eather. Balance and look much better if its at least something in there.
No battery?!?!
Hi, the battery is in an alloy box under the gearbox!
