Moto Guzzi Le Mans Café Racer by DMOL

.  

Death Machines of London (DMOL) was founded in September 2015 by the designer James Hilton and renowned motorcycle engineer Ray Petty. The Moto Guzzi Airtail is their debut machine.

The Builder’s Words:

 "Created from a 1981 Moto Guzzi Lemans mk2, we present the Airtail.

The entire motorcycle, engine and gearbox was completely disassembled and vapour blasted prior to a forensic inspection of all original parts.

The original instrumentation has been completely restored and housed in a bespoke dash, incorporating 1940 Merlin Spitfire aviation warning lights and main switch.

The frame has been delugged & Airtailed - an idea proposed by the client - to provide a refined minimalism, ensuring all electrical components are hidden from view. The completed 950cc engine features a polished, lightened and balanced crankshaft, in-house gas flowed cylinder heads and and all new valves. The motor now breathes through a pair of 40mm Dellorto carbs with accelerator pumps. A lightweight R.A.M. clutch and flywheel were also installed.

On the bars, drastically reduced switchgear is made possible with our in-house custom loom utilising an M-Unit control box.

Precision paintwork is in Italian Red gloss and a satin finish Old English white, with a hand painted Moto Guzzi logo."
