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

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

No.. i'll change both.. i'll mount some street tyres stolen from a Yamaha r1..
but if I want to mount them I should modify the rear rim, I must add a thick plasticard all around the rear rim
