Ray,
Welcome. I recently purchased a 73 Eldo....a bike that I have always wanted
as well. Do you have the serial numbers? Does it have twin shoe or four
leading shoe brakes?
Regards...Ian

Had Guzzis before and just picked up a '73 Eldo, the Guzzi I've always wanted. So far it is turning out to be a very correct and low mileage bike that apparently sat for awhile. The one big problem is the gas tank. It is a civilian tank, which I prefer, but riddled with holes on the top. I just had it sand blasted today to see why the top was so thin and spongy feeling. There must be a hundred or more small holes. Looks like swiss cheese. I can't imagine being able to save it. Does anyone have a civilian tank for sale with the correct gas cap? I don't care what condition the paint is in. Looking for a good structural tank to be repainted. Ready to buy now so I can get on with the painting.
