Shawn Lamb's & Jack Chew's Moto Guzzi

I met Jack Chew when I lived in Florida. He was looking for someone to restore his recently acquired Moto Guzzi and contacted me. Later in the process, his son in-law Shawn Lamb became involved as well. Shawn had a vision of the end result he wanted and I worked to achieve that goal for he and Jack. The end result is a lovely machine.

This project started with an assembled basket case in very poor condition. The motorcycle left Mandello del Lario as a V700. Along the way, someone had installed an engine, transmission, and rear drive from an Eldorado. It also sported an extremely poor front disc brake conversion using components from a Moto Guzzi 850 T3. Much of the body work was pretty beat up and everything required significant TLC. A few of the more notable aspects of this project:
