My early '69 Ambo came with polished valve covers and so did the '72. As far as I know, both style of the V700's covers were polished too. My buddies (mid-'73 production, 4 ls and Amals) '74 Eldo had partially polished covers - they were polished in some areas and left kinda' orange-peel texture in others. Seems I recall reading somewhere (Moto Guzzi Big Twins maybe?) that they stopped polishing them around that time period. Cheers,
Charlie.
