Yes, I know Mike Tyler who is head of ONE- he's a very friendly and knowledgeable guy w no "attitudes". He completely rebuilt a Vincent which is impressive to me.

A greatly under-appreciated bike - I love mine - good all-rounder, I expect you'll fall in love with it after a few rides.

How do you find the fly-deflector screen? I have the lower half and am looking for the upper piece to install on my Ghost.

It’s looking better - left the two doors open a bit to get some drying done - out for the day and my wife says hope that cat doesn’t go in there - was trying to get into our house a few days ago - imagiining cat prints all across my nice new floor luckily the bastard didn’t come across the open doors 😁

I would really like a floor coating where the dropped hardware didn't bounce over to the other side and hide for a few years until I finally do some cleaning.

I installed the wind-deflector/screen right away .. so I have no experience without it.
But I found it very useful during my last test ride (y)

It's the item #39 from the drawing below.
.. and coming from Giuliano Cogo (https://www.3cmoto.it/)

668 GHOST STRIKE LEGEND 1996 1998 - Carenatura

I wonder if article #40 is missing to make it complete ?
.. or is it a different setup ? :unsure:

.. after a complete "funny" fuel line replacement during the winter... :)

(bike was imported from the US back in 2024 and was previously owned by Aïda Chappell from the North Carolina Laverda dealership).

Quite new experience for me as I'm more a Breganze 750 Twin aficionado since the early '80s.
Fun bike and engine
.. but who doesn't like to be under-revved at all !

Cheers
Stéphane

You could envisage a Ducati V-twin in that chassis..

Yes, it's the item #40 that I'm looking for to complete the screen assembly.
 
If I were looking, it would need a button. I completely upended my Dirtbike riding to get a Button. Life is so much easier in the real world with a button. Godet make a button kit. The cunundum for me is what Cyasie. I like the look of the std, but plenty say the forks are problematic; you can get modern look-alike dampers. The Godet and Egalis look bland to me. Norvins really appeal to me, but I hear they require Gearbox hackery. I know modifying is a slippery slope. What's your take, Paul?
