68C Posted May 17, 2020 Posted May 17, 2020 Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, not in mine though.
pete roper Posted May 17, 2020 Author Posted May 17, 2020 It's a thing from another age. It's beauty is mainly from an engineering standpoint. It was I think the first reactive drive to ever be used on a Guzzi. 1 1
Weegie Posted May 17, 2020 Posted May 17, 2020 Here's how mine looks now Pete I know, I know, took a work of art and butchered it Not sure, possibly the Classico & the Arturo were before it. Anyway as already said "Eye of the Beholder", personally I think they are things of beauty, compare them with Guzzi's offering of the time, the LM 1000 from which it's derived 3 2

The owner wants to repaint and tart it up a bit.
Weegie Posted May 17, 2020 Posted May 17, 2020 I reckon you'll be able to get the decals direct from Magni, Pete Last I contacted Magni, a couple of weeks back he was closed due to the BatFlu but I want to contact him anyway, so no hassle to add the request, try again and see what comes up. No guarantees but it's worth a shot I can also drop a line to the guy who resprayed mine, he replicated the decals and then airbrushed them into the paintwork, then sealed them with clear coat If you know a good airbrush guy he could spray them onto the tank then seal them in. I'll drop a line to Gav the painter who did mine and ask if he could forward the files if he still has them Be glad to help, if I can John
pete roper Posted May 17, 2020 Author Posted May 17, 2020 Thanks John. The owner has contacted Magni but no reply. If your bloke has some files for a cutter that would be great!
Weegie Posted May 18, 2020 Posted May 18, 2020 See what I can do and let you know Pete, re Gav the painter I'll drop Giovanni Magni a line too, may as well, nothing to lose Magni is very hit & miss in replying at the best of times, but I've bought some stuff off him over the years (for me & others) so it's worth a try Watch this space John
Chuck Posted May 18, 2020 Posted May 18, 2020 The Kid did his shop chair with some decals he had made for his Spot. I *think* it was done photographically. 1 1
Admin Jaap Posted May 19, 2020 Posted May 19, 2020 If needed I can make a vector file of this logo. 1
pete roper Posted May 19, 2020 Author Posted May 19, 2020 Thanks Jaap. I think John has it in hand at the moment. That looks like the tank logo. There are also smaller ones without the motorbike motif on the fairing.
