Moto Guzzi Nevada 750. My O2's revenge, this time with the right engine.

I have built quite a few Moto Guzzis, always trying never to repeat something already seen. This time I copied myself (it happens).
I have always missed my O2 (a Moto Guzzi on a V35TT base built in 2015) and its essential, minimalist lines. The only weak spot of that bike was the engine; the 350, fun as it is, remains limited.
When a friend got a Nevada 750 and brought it to me, I immediately thought it could be the right revenge.
Chapter 02 — Chassis
Same
structure
Same frame structure, halved at the rear, and a cantilever monoshock system.
Marzocchi upside-down front forks, a new Brembo braking system and a 320 mm wave disc.
Raised handmade clip-ons and minimal Motogadget instruments.

Chapter 03 — Asymmetry
Flat track
number board
The flat track style front number board takes up all the space and moves the headlight to the right side, creating an asymmetry that balances the number plate sticking out on the left.
Chapter 04 — The monocoque
Clay
and carbon
The whole upper section (tank and seat) is a monocoque modelled in clay and made in carbon fibre (my first experience with this material).
The rear LED lights are set flush into the small tail.
Chapter 05 — Two gun barrels
Exhausts
under the seat
Handmade aluminium manifolds turn the carburettors along the frame's axis and end in handmade air filters, making room for the stainless steel exhausts that gather under the tank and exit under the seat, straight like two gun barrels, with db killers inside.
The bike has an extra subframe that slots in where the frame was cut and fixes under the seat to carry a passenger.
Knobby tyres and plenty of power make this bike extremely agile in any conditions.
