Hi,
I agree with Paul that your bags sound like Tonti frame. Except for the
45 angle they sound like my old G5 lunch boxes. One model has a cut-out
for an Uzi machine gun inside.

A fiew weeks ago,I wrote in about a high rpm bog problem I have with my 73 Eldo.It runs fine to 3/4 throttle,then bogs completly,blackening the plugs,and will not clear out unless the air box is removed,where you can then ride through it.I was checking some spare carbs I have when I discovered that the needles were for a 750 (v5).I checked the carbs on the bike,same needles!The 850 calls for a sv9 needle.I wonder if this is my problem?I will have to order the proper needles before I can test this so it will be a while before I can say yes or no.Has anyone had any experience with 750 carbs on an 850?All the other parts are correct for the 850 except the needles.You would think the larger displacement would call for more fuel,not less.Can someone compare the different needles to see which is longer/thicker? While rooting through my bits and parts,I wrote down my serial #'s if anyone is collecting them. frame-23409-april 71 Amb engine-p*057664* 850 Eldo 73 spare engine-p*054544* 850 Eldo 73? spare frame sin plate from write off frame 059077 -73 Eldo I have a set of Guzzi saddle bags I would like to learn the history on.They are black plastic,rectangular,with a raised white Moto Guzzi logo in block letters on the sides.They open like a lunch box on a piano type hinge,except the seam is at a 45 degree angle on the sides.They came with a load of parts when I bought the bike and the seller didn't know anything about them.They also have rectangular holes in the back and bottom,apparently for mounting,but there are no brackets with it.Anyone have any ideas as to what year or model they are from? Thanks, Dale 73 (mostly) Eldo |
