Overly modified machines

[barnfind]

Hi All,
Thanks for the updates on your machines, I am thinking along the same lines.
A Moto Guzzi V50 (1980'ies models) have a cable operated/hydraulic front disc brake with a pressure switch for the brake light.
I will try to get hold of one and to fit it out of sight so the handlebars will still have inverted levers.

Modifying for safety, tires, rims, brakes, ok let the riders make their choice. Updating motors parts, trans, with newer then 1915 parts is not the same. If you can't locate parts to replace broken parts or non repairable parts, then exact repoductions is ok or even home made parts are fine . Each year one manufacturer may have an edge on another manufacturer when updating models but by changing (updating) a major element like trans etc. newer than 1915 then you've creative a hybrid. Seeing and riding pre 16's as they were with or without there faults I feel is in harmony with the event.
