Any ideas on what battery could be used to accomplish hiding it like this?  This is exactly what im trying to go for with my guzzi's frame/motor nakedness but it has such a HUGE battery!!

Yes.  The battery is on the bench.  Notice no wires too.   Ultimate naked.

Love the bike, but isn't that rear shock a little bit too much out of center?


SC has one shock one side.

On the '06, and '07SE only.

Being faster than you thought possible…it feels good. No, screw thatâ€"it feels like shotgunning a gallon of adrenaline and chasing it with an all-night orgy aboard a burning Viking boat.

Are there any pics after the photog paid his electric bill?

I've always hated the way a SBK front fender looks on a naked bike.  :P

Otherwise...  [thumbsup]

I can't wait until Marquez gets on his level and makes Jorge trip on his tampon string.

Thanks, Tiz.

Slick bike, but from the left side all I see is a giant yellow spring. :P

I'm not normally a big fan of Sport Classics but I really like this bike!!
No modification goes unpunished. Memento mori.  Good people drink good beer.  Things happen pretty fast at high speeds.

It's all up to your will level, your thrill level and your skill level.  Everything else is just fluff.

Don't think this Guzzi LeMans from Revival Cycles has been here yet, but I really like the understated nature of the (not yet) finished product...

With **9 SBK forks, yes. Standard SC front fender lines up with 848/1098/1198 forks just fine.

I just think SBK fenders look like an unfinished thought. They're graceful and shapely at the front. And then you get to the back end where it's supposed to be tucked behind a fairing and it just ends, like they couldn't be bothered to continue to design what wasn't going to be seen.

I agree -- with the SBK front fender on a naked bike, my brain immediately thinks "why bother?" It's not like it's actually fending spray or debris away from rider or engine, so why even leave it on - except to protect the fork sliders, and if you're building a custom bike there's got to be a much less kludge-y way to do that.

In general, I love the bike, but I have the same reaction to the fender...

Not sure if this will ever get off the drawing board, but I like it - a Paul Smart-ish body kit for modern monsters from Nicolas Petit (I saw it first on Bike EXIF)
