Moto Guzzi Ambassador description

Italian HOG barn find I bought a couple of years ago. I've replaced quite a few items. I left the rough patina as it reflects history. So it has some dings in the pipes, front fender, tank and surface rust. The new owner can finish her to original glory if they'd like. Guzzi's were the preferred bike in the early 70's for the CHP and LAPD.

It is a numbers matching bike. The bike always starts right up. It has the rare original LAPD metal saddlebags that were not offered as an option by Moto Guzzi. It has a combination of Honda tail/turn rear turn lights and Yankee Turnflex II signals in front.
Clean title with new California tags good until July 2017. It gets a lot of looks as there isn't anything else on the road that looks like it. Too many other projects I need to finish so this has to go.

Here's what I've done:
New tires/tubes front and back. Less than 100 miles put on them.
New rear brakes, rear wheel gasket and seal.
Speedometer cable
Voltage regulator
Points, wires and condenser, starter brushes, relays
Oversize battery- Mazda
Tank acid washed and POR15 coated inside
Carbs rebuilt, new petcocks , air filter and hoses
Aftermarket turn switch
Reupholstered seat. New locks on side boxes.
Generator belt

What it needs:
Clutch cable. Current cable works but treaded area is broken
Oil leak. What 45 year old bike doesn't.
Tach not working.
