1973 Moto Guzzi Eldorado on 2040-motos

Moto Guzzi Eldorado description

An absolutely wonderful eye catching vintage Italian motorcycle ready for use. They call these loopframe bikes "The Tractor" as they seem to last forever with regular maintenance. Engine and carbs was totally rebuilt professionally by the best - Harpers in Kansas City. The transmission was built from scratch from all new parts (5-speed) from the same firm. Only 1000 miles since the rebuild.
I have also updated the #1 issue with these bikes which was electrical. Replaced the factory VW type fuse panel with the modern type blade fuses. Headlight, brights and spotlamps all feed through relays saving your wiring.
Both handlebar switches are new.
Handlebar is new.
brake and clutch cables are new. (clutch is new)
Engine, Vin# and title all match.
New shocks and windscreen.
Has the ultra rare stepped level 10MPH increment police speedo. The speedo needs restoring but after restoration they are worth much more than what you have in them as they are not available. Costs about $350 to repair the speedometer. Speedo works ok up to 60 MPH then not accurate - odometer does not work and the face needs to be repaired. A vender in California can restore this fully.
Muffler isn't pretty but it's the original OEM type. They only just started reproducing these.
A modern alternator replaced the generator which weighs about 1/2.
Just about everything is available for these bikes.
Tires are practically new. (1 year and 2000 miles.)
This bike tunes like a car. Has a distributor which you can time with a light. Has a belt for the alternator and easy to adjust points. The carbs are perfect and easy to adjust. I installed the better flip chokes.

Brakes have new shoes - using the higher quality ones from Mark Etheridge's shop.
Comes with shop manual.

I built up this bike to enjoy camping trips and other short distance pleasure rides. With the hard bags and seat bag you can really haul some equipment and it rides like nothing is there. Of all motorcycles it is the easiest thing to handle in low speed maneuvers. I can do U-turns in one parking space almost. It makes you look like a pro.
 This is the civilian model
Also comes with police type handlebars if you want them.
I have over $8000 in this machine. I am expanding our motorcycle rider gear store so have to sell a few things regrettably.
Comes with the hard bags but two photos show what it looks like w/o the bags.
