I say build a bike with one chrome fender, one AL rise and one steel
riser. Maybe even have odd side covers and valve covers to REALLY
confuse folks. :)

Fact is there is a lot of conjecture from the documentation end that is hard to support either way. Guzzi shipped bikes to dealers that may have been intended for police sales and they wound up with civilian first owners . Dealers would swap parts in their shops to accomodate civilian and/or municipal customers . Large municpalities could order batches pretty much as the parts stock would provide. At times US market bikes were augmented by Euro market models to satisfy supply shortfalls here in the States. The nice thing for us is there are plenty of combinations to choose from allowing us to build personal bikes that are very authentic at the same time. It is more fun to build what you want and ride than to fret over which bar riser your bike should REALLY have ! Les Lampman wrote:
