Well I mainly bought it for the front end. I have a 74 lapd with an 86
Cali2 engine. The bike has the twin leading shoe brake, which does not
work well with the square barrel engine. The bike originally had a 4
leading shoe front end but the previous owner wiped it out in a wreck.
So anyway I plan on doing a swap with the front ends and sale it. The
bike is in good shape, except for the wiring. It has a box with toggle
switchs on the handle bars that control the headlight and a huge spot
light mounted on the crash bar. It also came with a bunch of new parts,
including a new voltage regulator that harpers sold the owner to replace
the Marelli one. It is a huge Lucas unit but it did not come with any
wiring diagrams on how to hook it up. The guy I got it from still had a
copy of the original title where he paid 1700 bucks for it in 74.

I am picking up a eldo this weekend and wanted to pick some brains on
it.
I do not know if it a Guzzi factory parts bin special or just

something

someone threw together. Here are the details

1. 1974 Civilian Eldo
2. Single Disc Brake Front End
3. Amal Carbs
4. Ambo torpedo mufflers
5. Marelli starter & charging system

I have seen disc front ends and amal carbs on 74's but did any of the
come
with marelli and torpedo mufflers or did some one switch these from a

early

Ambo ? I have not got the bike yet so I do not have the ID number.

I

am
getting it for a good price so what ever it is does not matter, I am
just
trying to figure out what I got. Any ideas ?
