Not sure OG, but the bike was on eBay, but now sold.....

I'm a prize muppet - I was in touch with Gerard and missed
buying his bike by 20 Euros as I was out when the auction ended.
I was hoping to win it for a winter project but I hope it went
to a good home. There's another one on eBay at the moment, but
not a project. I think I know what I'm looking for now so will
keep an eye out.
No rush though - I'm enjoying the bike, even if it has been "
modernised"!

There are advantages to modern switch-gear even if they offend
your sensibilities. I have Japanese switches on my Eldorado and
750s which haven't given me any trouble since I replaced the old
'sparky's'. I have the originals in a drawer in my toolbox and
once I'm creating daises, if anyone wants to return them to
stock, they're welcome. For now, I ride.

I hear what you're saying, nick, and agree the newer items work,
so am happy to leave well alone so that I can ride it. If I see
the original parts, and they're affordable, I may buy them and,
like you, put them in a drawer for future use.

Thanks Junco1, I've just ordered the last one! Much obliged.
Am taking my silencers to a local bike restorer today to see if
they're suitable for re -chroming - they're not in great
condition. Alternative would be to change it to a single pipe
system like the one recently sold on eBay.

Excellent! I'd be interested to hear how you get on with the
chromers.

Will keep you posted re chroming. Reckon it will be about three
weeks before I get them back, until which time I'll be riding
the Guzzi 750T. I suppose I could get the dents in the tool box
lids sorted while I'm waiting, and also the ding in the front
mudguard, but that would involve new transfers and pin striping
but neither defect stop me from riding so I'll probably leave
that for later.
