Greg,
I had seen that photo before and forgotten all about that section of your
web site...thanks for the reminder. Thanks too for the warnings about the
different configurations on the fairings.

| -----Original Message----- From: Greg Bender [mailto:gr-@thisoldtractor.com] Hi Les, I already have one picture on my site: http://www.thisoldtractor.com/gtbender/my_ambo.htm Let me know if you need any close up photos, I'll be happy to post them. One thing I will mention is that there are two versions of the stock Moto Guzzi fairing: one for the V7 and one for the Ambo and Eldos. The difference is in the length of the nose. The V7 nose is longer to accomodate the longer V7 headlight. Either fairing will fit on either headlight. BUT, if you have a mis-matched set, you will not be able to properly adjust your headlight. I have a Ambo headlight shell and a V7 fairing...my headlight is forever pointing at the moon. Greg Field taught this to me when I asked about his headlight and fairing at the national rally this year. I have been able to correct this somewhat by placing spacers under the V-brackets where they attach to the handlebars. ...if I had only known this before I had gotten it painted! Oh well, I just really need to get a hold of a V7 headlight shell. Tom Short is right, if you need help with your loop, give Greg Field a call. |
