New Belly Pan

Carlotto Posts : 35 Join date : 2014-09-11

Cool or not cool? I'm pleased!

I always liked the Stucchi belly pan but it seems to be out of production, this one is sourced from Mito GRiSO in Italy (see his Facebook page). Photos are actually before it's been painted (I'm not being too fussy on paint - Volkswagen Candy White looks close enough).

...also note Ipothesys exhaust and Stucchi Carc tail tidy

Kinda cool. It might grow on me... Hell, it took me years to appreciate the GRiSO period...

Looks good.

For me the engine is the eye catcher.. why hide it?

Ok it protects the paint finish but it detracts from the naked roadster look.

sorry, matt black would have been better if you insist on tacky mods. Wink

yep i love the look of the engine and the deep sump as well , if fact its the best looking engine out there and having it hang out there for the world to see is just fine , it makes the bike ...

Recently tore a hole in my second sump pretending GRiSO = supermoto.

Both times I was surprised at how little it took to tear it open. Thin ali down there.

Anything between the sump and the goat tracks has got to help.

Congrats, looks great. Part of the joy in this is making it your own.

If youre happy, thats all thats matters! That twin pipe is the only other Exhaust ( I have the Augostini Hydro Formed) I would want on my GRiSO. My only other comment is **TOO many stickers on the bike..... I'm a minimalist though...

Agree that the engine and the exhaust are the big focal points of the GRiSO (and other MGs). I thought I was highlighting the engine by framing it?

It's odd though, I feel compelled to modify my modern bikes and compelled to "factory standardise" my classics! (wouldn't dream of altering the LeMans!!)

Shocking! are you Bi Polar? Wink

Totally agree each to their own. I have wasted Loadsa money in the past on zorsts and bling but I have seen the light.

BTW Those cans are as nice looking as the original idea. Well balanced. The single ones are so not right. Thumbs up on that one

Cool ........... had a Stuchi pan on my Tenni.Was very well built and looked great IMHO.

So those pipes..... how would one find those and dare I ask how they sound and perform on the sensitive 8 valver?
Oh and are they pricey?

Ciao

I don't actually hate it. Having said that, I reckon it would look shite on a GRiSO of another colour.

@AH Head; Pipes are Ipothesys (from Italy, see there web site). I think they sound and run great on std map. Others are sceptical! I can't remember how much - not cheap, includes mid-pipe.

I intend to inspect this in person. I can then report back to this small but perfectly formed community on how ~~hideous this is~~/ perfectly lovely this is.

Nice, as they say beauty, beholder etc each to their own. Where about sin Sussex are you, I'm in Edenbridge? Only had my new GRiSO for 2 months so would be interested to meet up with a seasoned owner for any recommendations.

I'm in Haywards Heath, Midlifecrisis is a couple of miles from me. Not far from Edenbridge.

Ok maybe meet up for a cuppa one weekend if we get some half decent weather.

GRiSO Capo Posts : 826 Join date : 2014-10-07 Age : 69

Wessons in Horam is close.

Oh Feck, I have pneumonia.

The guru of Moto Guzzi is in in Seaford until 24th January. Midlifecrisis and Pedz could meet him???
