He first created a tank, the shape of which is strongly reminiscent of LeMans and Tritons. Then backwards and forwards it gets wild.

If the stern still reminds a little of the art of famous Japanese builders, the slightly crazy-shaped half-shell with the square cutout for the round projection lens breaks.

Moto Guzzi 1000 SP Cafe Beamer Custom Bike
Shiny Hammer Custombike 1000 SP
Bling, Bling Guzzi
Recipe for a custom bike: Take an accident-damaged donor bike, a welding machine, a truck full of aluminum sheet and a lot of time. The result is an unusual cafe racer based on a Moto Guzzi 1000 SP.

The wheelbase is extremely short and the caster is practically zero. When Samuel picks up the donor Guzzi, it has a reasonable front damage, the front wheel is practically in the engine, the alternator is over. So the best basis for simply doing something different.
“A little crazy”
This is what Samuel calls the design of his Guzzi himself. The tin artist first forms a tank, the style of which is strongly reminiscent of old LeMans and Tritons. It gets wilder to the front and back. If the stern reminds a little of the art of famous Japanese builders, the slightly crazy-shaped half-shell with the square cutout for the round projection lens breaks with all traditions. This is topped by the unique fender that the Guzzi has Beamer style confers. Samuel made the entire paneling himself from aluminum, then polished it and finally sealed it with a clear varnish.

Proven technology
Everything below the shiny armor is good Guzzi technique. The twin with 949 cubic meters delivers 67 hp in series, by converting from 32 to 36 Dell’Ortos and a more or less sound-absorbing exhaust system, one or the other Cavallo should trot more here. Samuel repairs the damaged fork, while air-sprung Fournales dampers from France work on the shortened rear end.

Conclusion
