Especially when the donor was something I admire (read: V11). Yet, in an effort to steer Kane's original topic back from our (interesting) detour(s), here is, bar-none, my favourite V11 Custom built, and ridden, by our treasured member @knumbnutz : I like the Guzzi with the exception of the tail and seat. A bridge too far for my tastes. The exhaust looks very nice on that style of bike as well. I'd be tempted to get his exhaust guy to make some mufflers for mine based on those but modified somewhat to suit the V11 lines a little better if I lived in Brisbane. Ciao 1
docc Posted June 17, 2020 Posted June 17, 2020 I found knumbnutz' build thread, one I really enjoyed. I have also been looking for an image posted by another Australian member of an interesting V11 custom similar to this one, but cannot find it. Any ideas? 1
knumbnutz Posted June 17, 2020 Posted June 17, 2020 Thanks Docc. This is now my fav pic of the bike. As always there is a little evolution with a build and some changes on things that didnt quite work as intended. The seat was one of those things. originally I told my seat guy, I wanted to cover the seat shape I had created with some nice leather. I had used a foam which he said was not up to it, so i said replace it and use good foam and make the shape back with the new foam. Well it was totally different shape and the leather colour didnt quite work. About a year ago I redid the seat using another seat guy and I think it works better now in comfort and looks. I've changed a number of bits now and its almost finished Essentially though I just wanted to show off and accentuate the motor and tank and shorten the tail. I actually like the original tail a lot, probably my fav looking cafe tail but its big and too big for what i wanted. 3
knumbnutz Posted June 17, 2020 Posted June 17, 2020 Here's a couple of other V11 that have been customised 1

ScuRoo Posted June 13, 2021 Posted June 13, 2021 Guessing the budget was fairly generous on this one..
Weegie Posted June 13, 2021 Posted June 13, 2021 Yup Real Gold Casings, nothing but the best for Mr Posh Spice
Scud Posted June 13, 2021 Posted June 13, 2021 I really like the engine color on Beckham's bike. I wonder if it will get ridden? Omissions, such as head guards and fenders, make me think it's mostly a design exercise. Now. we need to know more about this "Toy." That looks like an oversized toy box on a full size custom build. I LOVE the presentation. And it the side of the box accurate? Did they build a 1700cc sport bike? Please "open the box." I would gladly ride this thing...
