 O.k., We have some BEE U. T.FULL bikes here!!!
Now, upon closer examination. Andy's bike has got a police speedo and
drum brakes and round(early) taillight. Lenord Berkely's Eldo has disk
brake, late square tailight(correct), civilian guages and shorty
handlebars(not correct?).
 
I was under the impression that ALL disc brake Eldo's had big handlebars
and police speedos.

I do not claim to know what is correct for Eldo's, but my bike was
purchased new by a friend of mine and last licensed in 1984. I remained in
his garage until recently. I thought that the bike was totally stock, but
there are a number of unusual items on the bike. I am told that the
floorboards are after market and the short kick stand (difficult to reach).
It has Amal carbs. I have changed nothing except the color (originally
white) It is a late, Oct.1974 bike apparently one of the last Eldo's built.
