Scud Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 Hey, nice one. It looks to be complete and original, except for the red stripes on the rims, which I like a lot. Have fun getting to know her... and I assume riding home from TX to CO. If it was mine, I'd want to: Upgrade the shock Upgrade the steering damper Find some "early sport" hardware to mount the light and gauges to the triple clamps instead of the frame.

docc Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 Never thought of changing them out. I suppose they do wear out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scud Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 That's a fine idea, especially for a high-mileage bike. While you're at it, see about getting the two ends with opposite threads so you can actually adjust the length of the rod without disconnecting one end. La vie en rose.

LowRyter Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 Badge, she's purdy. Are you going to the Paonia Rally with it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badge502 Posted July 2, 2018 Author Share Posted July 2, 2018 I was thinking about it... BUT I doubt I could get all my camping stuff on it! and the Sherpa Tents guy isn't going to set up the tents this year like in the past. I was going to "Guzzi over" if he was going to do the tents thing, but I think Ill take the Pack Mule (R1200GS). OR Ill take multiple trips... Im only about 100 miles away from Paonia. If you ride your Green Meanie down, Ill be sure to take the Ballabio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
