I don't think every time i am going to change the color of my tank i change the color of the disks
And yes is magnesium
And about the angle of the exhaust , it's better now i think, it's all about the angle of the photo taken

Ist more grey than bleu
Maybe greybleu , it's a bit like some primers
OK, I went back and looked at the pics on pages 1 and 2. I thought it was white in those pics, but I can see the greyness of the paint job in those pictures now.
Glad to see you are back to the classic headlight. It is good to experiment, but the painted headlight bucket of the classic headlight along with custom two into one exhaust is what really sets your bike off.

Notably, the use of a gold eagle is a direct reference and national symbol of the Italian Air Corp. This symbol was first integrated into a logo and used by Moto Guzzi and later adopted by Ducati. At that time, the eagle was used as a symbolic reference of national pride and has remained a part of the Guzzi logo to this day.
Question resolved!
Close.
Quote
Moto Guzzi was conceived by two aircraft pilots and their mechanic serving in the Corpo Aeronautico Militare (the Italian Air Corp, CAM) during World War I: Carlo Guzzi, Giovanni Ravelli and Giorgi Parodi. Assigned to the same Miraglia Squadron based outside Venice,[5] the three became close, despite coming from different socio-economic backgrounds. The trio envisioned creating a motorcycle company after the war. Guzzi would engineer the motor bikes, Parodi (the son of wealthy Genovese ship-owners) would finance the venture, and Ravelli (already a famous pilot and motorcycle racer) would promote the bikes with his racing prowess. Guzzi and Parodi (along with Parodi's brother) formed Moto Guzzi in 1921. Ravelli, ironically, had died just days after the war's end in an aircraft crash and is commemorated by the eagle's wings that form the Moto Guzzi logo.

My Favorite Eagle:
I wish I had taken more, better, pictures of it.
The last one shows the rough quality of the hand-hammered tank.

Alright, after digging and digging, I discovered the origin of this logo.
It turns out that this logo was originally a "Moto Ducati Eagle" logo and labeled as such during the 1960's and used on the singles:
"Moto Ducati Eagle" logo?
How in the world did they come up with that name for it? That's just loopy. They shoulda called it the, "Maybe It's A Bird" logo or something cool like that.

Re the Moto Guzzi logo, the eagle was used by remaining founders of the company to commemorate the other would-be founder who was a pilot and who died before the company was formed.
