Hi, my name's Barry.
I'm considering buying a 1970, ex LAPD Ambo 750, and I'm told it has a
longer wheelbase than most,thanks to its non standard triple tree/fork
angle, which gives more rake to the forks, and makes it more suited to
hauling the sidecar it's attached to.
My question: what's the standand wheelbase of this model, and can anyone
confirm that this triple tree/long wheelbase was infact an option.
I read with interest some posts to this list re speed wobbles, how
common a problem is it?
I have heard that the early /5 BMW's from the seventies had wobble woes,
so they brought out a the long frame version.
Did Guzzi do the same with the " Loopys "?
Thanks alot, Barry Swanson, New Zealand.
