Hi All,
I am new to this list, Transfered over from MGCL because I am
spineless and not warped, Just loopy.
I am a New Englander, being from nearly the center of Maine. 10" of
snow in my yard. Nearest dealer 1 and 1/2 hour from the house and he has had
Guzzi for about one year, Not much help on loopframes. I've had Guzzis only
since 1977. Lived in eastern Virginia untill I retired from the Navy in
1991 then moved here.
My current Guzzi is a 1974 Eldorado LAPD produced in oct 1973, #
VP*0614XX*, with a timing chain, a disc brake, and delortos. Also no lever
on gas cap. Due to the build date I would assume this is a fairly early '74?
A previous owner sold the original seat but I still have the springs. Even
though it has all the markings of an LAPD including the siren bracket I
don't believe it ever did police duty due to the low miles, 11k. It has a
Wixom fairing, bags and top box.
I am current rebuilding a 057XXX engine to 950cc with a few other
mods. This may take a while as I am budget limited and I want to do it
right. When it is finished it will go in and the original will come out for
restoring and backup, I must keep it since it is a matching number engine.
