Whilst on a ride out during the recent WDW I saw this modified 500SL.
Obviously a well-ridden machine with some tasty upgrades - clutch, oil-cooler, forks, wheels, brakes, alloy swing-arm.
Due to me speaking very little Italian I didn't get to talk to the owner to find out if there were any internal upgrades.
Cheers,
John

You missed the early (I think) radial brake master. I mean the owner no disrespect, but the sum of the special parts is probably worth more than a total Pantah! MikeV

PS: I noticed the fender brackets too (PG). Every one picks on the M1Rs (Glyn, Brad) for how they work, or don't, and mounting other-than-stock fenders on them is another challenge it seems.

Tasty is right - everywhere you look. Very cool bike! Love those front fender mounting brackets. Hope the roads are smooth over there for the sake of those Marvics.
