Now get it dirty!!!

Nicely done, Desertspistons!!!
Maybe except for the front-rack - but that's because of my general dislike of these things. Too much influence into the steering of a bike ...
And one more question: You stuck to a near-to-original size of the exhaust-system. Wouldn't the bike benefit in breath (and looks) from a slightly bigger diameter? This point was, in my eyes, it's biggest dis-advantage at the bike's first appearance in the 80s of the last century.
But, as said, you did a great job! So now go out and have fun with it!!!
Kind regards, Bambi

A wicked machine truely awesome job on so many levels drooooool! drool!. Only down side is having to wait for lightning storms to start the bike. Great job and good read love it.

Desertpistons · 12-09-2012, 10:21 AM

Thanks for the appreciation

Lightning storms? I am afraid I am not following. My bike starts very well

Desertpistons · 12-09-2012, 10:26 AM

Thanks Bambi

Regarding the exhaust pipes, I was given the Dakar guzzi pipes and I decided to install them on my TT. I like to have a piece of history on the bike. You maybe right regarding the diameter of the tubing even though I don't for sure if this effects torque or max top end HP. The last definitely not needed for such a bike.
If I had a custom exhaust system I would have definitely explore that avenue

Desertpistons,

Hats off to you sir. I love the build you completed! I am very influenced by your bike. Ive got a V65TT that i picked up last year and am slowly building it. Although i kept tossing my ideas here and there, im pretty sure ive got it set now. Your bike has givin me quite the inspiration to get out and bust some a** on my project. Thanks!

Hi Desertpistons,
these
'I was given the Dakar guzzi pipes and I decided to install them on my TT.
and
'... max top end HP. The last definitely not needed for such a bike. '
are strong points. I agree!
Kind regards, Bambi
