Moto Guzzi V50 Custom Motorcycle By Rno Cycles

Arno Overweel from Culemborg in the Netherlands, founder of Rno Cycles, tried to offer a new approach on customizing the lovely Moto Guzzi and named this experiment “Opal”. The commission came from Goparts, a motorcycle accessory company from the Netherlands. The bike’s design is modified extensively through the raised waistline to emphasize the V50 twin motor and the balance is also improved through a revised frame. The suspension received new forks along with a custom swing arm that is hooked to an HK Suspension monoshock. The gearbox was changed to a kick start Nato type and the original electric starter was removed. The carburation is 28mm Dell’Orto with twin K&N filters and the exhaust is custom made from stainless steel. The original wheels were kept but only after going through a refurbish and were adorned with Michelin Pilot Sporty tires. The painting was made by Ben Oud’s Kustom Paints to give the motorcycle its final touch and complete the wonderful design. (brosome)
