It showed up on Craigs List mid day Wed.. being an obsessive browser, I was the first caller and found it was about a mile from my home.. it's very clean around the motor and looks low mile but speedo was replaced so unknown. had to pull off the calipers to roll in on my trailer and plan to rebuild them soon.. just a little gas in tank and it was pretty clean and not too smelly, float bowls clean too.. I didn't get original mirrors but most of the rest is stock.. headlight and mounts are not, at least I don't think so based on the chrome ring on light. so the fairing (I did get) won't mount up just yet. Rims painted grey, that sucks but I'll live with it for now. next plan is to pull swing arm and check/grease the splines and maybe then I'll get an idea of mileage. hope to start it next weekend. oh, needs new tires since thee are not worn but old. I want to find an aftermarket saddle if anyone has something stashed, I have a second seat base/fender ready to apply if I can find a more comfy seat.

Lucky me, first to respond to a CL ad and yesterday I scored a nice 1977.. not cheap but I could not resist. Yeah, dent in tank, I don't care.

Bob Dylan, Doc Watson, the Grateful Dead..

yep the yellow paint is from the factory after they supposedly set and balanced everything.

Good! Just so you know, many of us have used the PF4 TPS, it's from a Harley Davidson and costs about $40. instead of the Guzzi PF3 for $300. they work fine so you mechanic is full of balony. keep up the faith and you'll have a fine running bike someday soon..

I have lust in my heart for a greenie.. this one will be used up before I can get it.. He rides in to bike night regularly from home some 180 miles away.. think it's north of 70k now.. dig the QuatD

pretty cool, I like the computer saying "us humans" Being a Buelly you should check this one out too,

I have leather but it hangs in the closet, too heavy.. can't beat Aerostich Roadcrafter, unless you got the big bucks for their Transit suit.. WATERPROOF LEATHER!

that's a QuatD exhaust, right? NLA

Mine did that until I ditched the stock cross over for a mistral, hiccup gone.. yours may be different, I didn't have the cross over in the headd pipes.. I'm talking about the center x-over under the tranny.

yeah, check that it's not swelling around the steering neck.. looking down from the saddle, the right side where it wraps around the neck can swell and contact an end tube of the frame which can easily wear a hole right thru the tank..

would the spokes be going backwards if you just flip the wheel around?

In my memory the spacer is separate from the rim.

can you just put the wheel on the other way? I don't think the front wheel has a L or R side.

this looks like it would fit under a wet suit. http://www.amazon.com/VentureHeat-Battery-Tri-Zone-Heating-X-Large/dp/B00E4HDOI0/ref=sr_1_16?ie=UTF8&qid=1421154568&sr=8-16&keywords=heated+clothes

relays, duct tape

I just used an extension on the end of hyd line so used stock lines. my friend made the risers aans sold them for $200.. I have a second set but pretty sure I'd have to collect 200. for them.

the spoked friction plates are know to break occasionally but I thought that was back in the 90's.. do they still use the same parts?

it need some christmas ornaments and lights.

if it were a tube tire I would have had to tow home.

this ugly patch got me off a dangerous freeway w/not much shoulder, and had enough air from the 6 CO2 cartridges to make it home. the nail I pulled is just pricked on there for illustration.

the spine frame breather is a perfect system.. don't mess with something Guzzi got right.
