Some adjustments
I'm not happy with the seat of my Guzzi. I think it is too long.
I also think that the dutch license plates are too big, but that's another story.
I altered it a bit and placed the license plate somewhat higher and plan to remove both taillights and replace them for one taillight in the middle.
Maybe I alter it some more with another taillight instead of this one (a LED light doesn't fit this oldtimer).

More parts.
I bought some parts on the internet ("Oh no! Not again!?!").
I also started on a tank of a XS-750.
This is the tank after I stripped the old paint and painted it with primer.
Some Raydyot lamps. Don't know if I can use them for the XS-500, but I like them anyway.
The previous owner of the tank has done a bad paintjob on it, so I started stripping it.

Just imagine the wheels
Just use your imagination. Do you see the wheels? I do.....
Except for the engine, the exhaust, the handles, the headlight, the taillight, numberplate...
I see the wheels, only the wheels ;-)

More stuff
I got even more stuff from the internet...
To use these handles on disc-brakes, I have to move the master cylinder. But where? And how do I connect it to the handles?

Old "Leytool" tool
Found a tool in the attic. It says "Leytool". Don't know how old it is, but I like the shape of it.

Lazy bastard
Due to weather conditions, work stalled on my projects the last couple of weeks.
Sounds like an excuse, I know. Fact is, that I don't have a heating in my shed, so it is impossible to paint (too cold) or work in the shed for a longer period of time (again: too cold).
But I managed to strip the frame of the XS and remove all the unnecessary tabs and mounts. During the process of grinding and cutting, I made some friends in the neighborhood (not really).
The quality of the welds is disappointing and I'm wondering if this frame is original, or someone else has mutilated it before I did..
