Hi Matt,
Did you buy that bike in Michigan? It sounds like one built by the guy
whom I bought my 850T from. His name was John and lived in East Detroit,
I mean Eastpointe. It was an interesting machine. He said it baffled the
shit out of the HD guys.

Hey Jeff, You have a frankenGuzzi too? What is it? (details!) Mine is a '73 Eldo. Frame and engine #'s don't match. I think the engine is newer. The 5spd trans, I am told, is from a T bike. One of the previous owners cut the spine of the frame and lowered it about 3" where it meets the rear loops. He replaced the stock tank with a H-D tank fron a mid 70's model with flames. When I bought it, I knew nothing about Guzzi's and didn't know it was not a stock tank. The overall effect looked cool (at the time). When I took apart the engine, the cylinders were almost wore through at the top, they were .005" over the largest spec and there was a discoloration to the lining. So, I have purchased Nikasil cylynders and piston sets ($ouch$, but I think it'll be worth it). Now I am slowly putting it back together. I need to repaint all the sheetmetal. I am going to use the frame I have for now, then purchase a stocker down the road. My engine is completely reassembled and I am now going to be going through the transmission and updating it.
