How about a Ranger/ Wixom fairing?? I have one for my ambo. Not mounted
yet. These cover lots of the bike, visually, but are good protection. Bob

Went out and finished (some of) the winter's projects. Finally got the dash back together--used a Radio Shack LED for the screwed up neutral light. Fits right in and looks pretty good. Also did some other neatening of the electrics which have been a bit of a shambles. Went for a ride--about 80 mi of wonderful curvey mountain roads. Bike did great--really handles pretty well when asked nicely! Replaced the main jets--DPO had put in 160's, and the thing felt like it was drowning at wfo. 140's, the stock, should be fine since I have K&N's and ride at 4,500' before I start to climb. More to follow. I currently have the Lollipop universal mirrors. I don't like them--they are dark--like they were designed for nite riding, and don't hold adjustment, and don't stick out enough--kinda like riding a sport bike--mostly you see your sleeve. I looked at pictures on the web page and some have mirrors with a bend--they come straight up from the handlebar at 90 deg then have a bend--so they don't hit the choke, etc. What are these things and where can I get em? I've used bar end mirrors in the past, but dont think they'd look good on an Eldo, although I suppose I could get used to it. I'm also considering a windshield. This is a rider, not a resto TQ. What do you recommend? I kinda like the old look. Harpers has a LAPD original style set for around $200? Is it worth it? Do any of the aftermarket Harley kits fit, or are the forks too funky on the guzzi? One last question.. Forgot. Oh well! Eric Lamberts ew-@unr.edu Reno, Nevada USA.
