Guzzi Special Café Racer
An Italian forum started the "Café Racer Bikes Contest" and this is my project based on the Tamiya Guzzi Centauro..
I saw a lot of wip about this bike, so I'll try doing something different.. I started the model removing the rear swingarm and I've scratched a new one using plasticard and the original hub. I also cut the fuel tank in the half and I have rebuilt the rear missing part using the tail of an old Honda NSR500. After that i've modified a rear wheel of the same Honda adapting it to the single arm         Last edited by Disca92; 11-12-2011 at 03:44 PM. |

Re: Guzzi Special Café Racer
These days I scratched the rear mono-shock using the original spring, plasticard,brass, steel and a little copper wire.
I've chose a particular configuration of the rear shock, linked between the swingarm and the frame. Then I mounted front forks, wheel and handlebars from Honda NSR500        Last edited by Disca92; 12-06-2011 at 11:24 AM. |

but if I want to mount them I should modify the rear rim, I must add a thick plasticard all around the rear rim |
