The gentle art of making more complicated an otherwise simple task

A cubistic love story


Shaping this lines and edges worn out my body and mind, but I belive it was woth it.
All the fixing are internal, this means no bolts on the outside.
Yes, unfortunately the headlight cracked right at the end of the day, my fault, and yes, some blasphemity (a lot actually) were involved after that.
Not the final finish yet, but it is pretty smooth already.

















Next: Gas tank and exhaust system

The "Alu-series" updates

Sorry for the lack of photos, anyway, starting from The Bullet, the frame was shortened and the rake angle modified.


Then, the frame was modified at the back to change the position of the monoshock, wich is a new Showa unit, and the linkage system was built from scratch.
New Showa 43mm front end, new rims and a modified Benelli swingarm (mounted upside down)



The difference between the two frame is clearly noticeable. The Versilia on the left, The Bullet on the right



I'm also working at the same time on the two alluminium bodies, starting from the tanks and fairings




The seat position on The Versilia is moved forward a bit, along with the handlebars, to change the rider weight position on the bike. Also a set of magnesium Marchesini wheels will "add lightness" in the right place

Almost ready to take everything apart on this one too. Hopefully.  If I don't come up with some last minute overcomplicated stupid idea ...
