I think I have seen the site. but have lost it too.
I have a tonti bag carrier but that only has the one arm support underneath.
And I have big fiberglass bags for those.

for day rides and such those would rock. *yeah* I'm interested. bear in
mind...this rebuild was spendy and Momma is out of patience.

BTW for those who want CHP (or other police) decals www.decalzone.com has
several decal badge styles that can have your own text put on them.
I thought a CHP style Eldo with "Police Guzzi" on it or some other clever
thing. I don't owe decal zone anything. I'm just happy about my experience
with them.

Michael:

There used to be a police motorcycle historical society, or some such,
on the web. May still be there.

There was a guy I got ahold of through that group that had sets of those
same bags for sale, along with CHP tank decals, and other goodies.

Those bags are cool but very very small. They'll hold your tool kit,
rain gear, and lunch but not much more. That's why I opted for the
larger and just as cool Buco bags.

To use them, you'll need the bag carrier. Do you have one?

I can try to dig out the information, but it was several years ago so I
may not find it.

Interested?

Yep, original steel bags, one has compartments in it, 2 small and 1 the
length of the bag, I gather for tickets?? They were all black
originally but I liked the look of the 2 tone bags on Moe's site
(cyclegarden.com), so I tried to duplicate it. Not too bad for a
basement paint job, stripe addition, and Moto Guzzi emblems addition,
though definitely not a professional job. Thanx for the tip on taking
pix, will try it out. I also was reading my Palmcorder book and I
boosted up the digital camera resolution from std to fine which doubles
the resolution. Perhaps the next few shots will be much clearer. Will
snap a few more and post on that yahoo website. Thanx for the positive
comments. Makes the near 2 year effort that much more rewarding!

 Keith,
The pctures were great. Are those bags original police units? Brian

 M p.s. If you use a flash when the bike is in the shadow (sun on the
other

side of the bike, you will get more detail,

 Had a great 4 hour ride with Cam today, and finally pulled out the
digital camera to snap some shots (still figuring out how to use
this new Panasonic Palmcorder). I posted a few "before" pix (71
Guzzi, 71Ambo, and ambospeedo) and a bunch of pix after todays ride.

 
 In the one named "2Guzzis", you will see Cam's bike in the distance
across the street from my house with Patience in the forefront.
Enjoy the pix, especially you Rich Zink whom has been asking for
them for quite some time. Hope this link works!
