I didn't try to achieve a concourse look that would only detracted from the beauty of the bike and they are staggeringly beautiful. I wanted to build the Le Man to reflect how a good example would have looked in the late 70s (how mine looked when I owned one in the late 70s). side panels and fairing have all been professional painted in the correct colour (red) including the satin finish on the top of the fuel tank. The frame had already been powered coated so that was left but the swingarm bushes were checked. The Bevel drive didn't lose out and received the same treatment. vapour blasted and rebuilt replacing any worn parts and re-shimmed so that you can engage first without waking the neighbours. vapour blasted and rebuilt with new shells.
Front/rear brakes have been overhauled with new seals and new Goodridge black hoses fitted. Forks have been refurbished with new seals and dust covers. The wheels have been two pack painted to the original silver/grey colour and new wheel bearing fitted.
it has since received many hours of TLC to get it to the fine example it is now. I purchased the bike about 2 years ago and although a respectable example at the time. This is my Moto Guzzi Le Mans 1 (series 2) with all matching numbers.
