if i was going to a dealer who actually had a lot of loopframe parts
(the hard to get ones..), at a discount, and i wanted to stock up on
desirable parts, i would go for:
single pod dashes (police and civilian), single pod speedo's, instrument
lights (bezel style for police dash), switchboxes, wheel bearings, any
bodywork, fliptop gascaps, u-joints, original headlight reflectors,
fender reflectors, sidecover nuts, police sidestands...that's if it's
cheap..
the only real difficult thing i've had problems finding for a reasonable
price, that wears out, is the wheel bearings...
Hi. I'm going to a dealers tomorrow who is clearing out his used Guzzi parts.. Theres not much I need at the moment but am looking to pick-up stuff that I may need in the future.. any suggestions of hard to get items or things that often break?? I'm thinking generator bracket, spare levers in case of the bike falling over, indicators etc etc.. 2nd question - my bike is an 850GT, european version of the Eldo.. are the mudguards and tanks the same on all V7 based models?? I believe the disc front-end guards are different, and my tank doesnt have the chrome panel.. other than that are they the same, as I'm looking to to try and pick-up a spare set of 'bodywork' Thanks..
