Y'know? That's one of the LAST Motorcycle mfj's I would think that
would have that problem.
BTW, John, this obviously isn't it, but my Guzzi that got me though
college was exactly like this with enception of the Speedo and Tach
cluster, I later put a Wixom fairing on it, to keep down on the winter
cold when the weather would permit riding. and when you're a young
college student, that was about any time there wasn't ice on the
pavement.

Very cool! I had an Eldorado for a while, but only to fix up and then sell.
They are very popular, still, with the Guzzi folks, so I was able to make a
pretty good profit on it. It's a shame you don't still have it!
The Mille GT was one of the few big bikes Guzzi made with a small, plastic
front fender. And the fender provided no bracing whatsoever. I put the
front end from an 850T on it, and the wobble problem went away.
The site you discovered was from Teo Lamer's shop in the Netherlands. Teo
is the one who loaned me a bike a couple years ago for a trip we took down
to the Cote d'Azur and back up through the French Alps. What a coincidence
that you should get his site! He's the biggest Guzzi dealer in the
Netherlands, and one of the biggest in Europe.- Hide quoted text -

Cool that you got a bike from him for your tour. Interesting to note,
that riders in Italy will actually order a bike through him and pay
all he duties, and shipping to get it back to Italy, Because he has
them when nobody else does, like he's the first in line.
the reason my Tach and Speedo cluster was different, is because when I
got the bike somebody had vandalized it at a bar, and took a tire iron
to them. amazing that was the only damage done, but the guy got hauled
off before he could do worse. Anyhow, I found a speedometer mount from
a '68 V-7, so my Guzzzi, was almost all Eldo, with a little bit of
Ambassador thrown on top.

Makes one wonder what they were thinking, doesn't it?
You're Mille, didn't still have the backward shifting did it?
