You can do it but the cost may make it less than worthwhile. To get a custom set of pipes made up will cost a small fortune so the best thing to try first up is to see if it is possible to fit the newer subframe (with the undertail exhaust) to your bike and then buy some stock pipes, second hand.

Personally, I wouldn't even bother. I wear black from top to botttom and have come to the realisation that it does not make a lick of difference what colour you wear. I have been hit as many times wearing all black as I have wearing a white helmet and flourescent yellow jacket and pants. You might a...

I would take the TL over the SV any day.

It does have an odd rear shock set-up with a damper unit fitted but then again suspension is a personal choice.
The power output of the TL is fantastic whereas the SV has a very watered down version.

I believe that Moto Guzzi uses/used a brake set-up that was a little different to the norm. The front brake lever controls one disc on the front and the rear brake and the foot lever activates the other front disc. Apparently it is tricky to get used to but once done it is a good system. Just anothe...

Texas is only a baby state at 695,622 km².

Our biggest state beats that by nearly 2 million km².

Still better than getting run over.
I have hit my fair share of cars and have never been run over as cars tend to stop when you plow into them at speed.

I know for a fact that I would rather hit a car than a rock wall.
