Spot light replacement light bulbs
Moto Guzzi V700, V7 Special, Ambassador, 850 GT, 850 GT California, Eldorado, and 850 California Police models
Some period spot lights which were commonly fit to police
models (Moto Guzzi never produced a spot light for our machines) require light bulbs with a BA20s
base (12 volt, 60 watt light bulbs with a 20 mm base). These bulbs were quite difficult to come by in the U.S. Thanks to Scott Peatross for sending me the following information:
The replacement bulb for [my] spot lights, (12 volt, 60 watt with the BA20s single contact base) is industry standard #A7278. Apparently was quite rare, but is now manufactured by Eiko. If you Google Eiko 660B you will find them readily available from many sources for less than USD $3.00 each.
