V50 Guzzi re-paint ie: Therapy

A most terrific result. I am sure the owner of the bike is quite stoked to be putting these parts on it. Excellent results.

Painting the inside of the fairing is an extra touch of class. I get a chucke from the factory masking and overspray marks inside my Suzuki parts.

I know what you mean. If I were to be doing an absolute "factory correct" paint job on my S, I would leave this the way it is. I remember after buying my bike how cobby and unfinished it looked to me with all the over spray..but hey, when mass-produced on an assembly line, no time to make the back sides pretty.



I'll spray this with some satin black, too, before I put it on the bike.

Thank you for the kind words.

Absolutely fantastic again Larry!

I just hope Jim's work on the Guzzi is good enough to do justice to the paint work

You saw the Matchless, Pete. That bike was close to thrashed before Jim got it. His attention to detail is admirable. This Guzzi is in very good hands. Thanks for the compliments on the paint, I appreciate it.

[pete]

Excellent Larry, definitely looking forward to the completed Guzzi!

Jim picked up his parts last weekend and was very happy with the results. Cool. The bike has just been waiting for the parts to wrap up his work on this little beauty and he sent me some phone pics. He also said he would take some more with a camera and send those soon, too..but until then here's a taste..











Not sure why it post the final picture sideways..hmm. Oh well. Looks like a fun bike to ride. I hope to find out next Spring maybe.

That's awesome Larry, turned out fantastic! Definitely keen to see some camera pics as well but yeah looks fun to me!

Looks like Jim's work and your paint have really paid off!

Great looking bike!

Is that an Alpine or Tiger lurking in the garage?

[nvr2old]

I'd have to ask. It does have the look of a Tiger, though.

[nvr2old]

Jim says it's an Alpine. It belongs to the gentleman whose shop his bike is outside of.
