This
is a beautiful example of a low mileage, matching numbers, restored and fully
serviced 1974 Moto Guzzi El Dorado that is ready to ride and enjoy.
The
following work was recently completed: The motorcycle was disassembled and the
frame epoxy coated in black. The gas tank and fenders were finished in a fine
metallic black base coat-clear coat system with the pin-striping and decals
under the clear coat. The engine was opened & inspected & re-sealed (the
compression is as per factory specifications), transmission shimming checked
& new seals installed, new clutch springs, new drive shaft carrier bearing
installed, final drive seals & gasket replaced, generator cleaned &
inspected & lubricated, voltage regulator replaced & charging voltage
checked, wiring updated per original wiring diagram, starter cleaned &
inspected & lubricated, starter solenoid replaced, distributor rebuilt and
new advance springs installed, carburetors cleaned and adjusted (K and N
filters on carburetors), tune-up (new plugs, points, wires), steering head
bearings cleaned & lubricated, new fork seals, rims disassembled &
polished & re-assembled with polished stainless steel spokes, wheel
bearings shimmed & new seals installed, new Dunlop tires & tubes, new
Viton petcock seals, fuel tank lined with POR-15, new battery, and all fluids
replaced.
In
addition to the original “matching numbers” (58974) engine, the motorcycle has
the original Lafranconi “Frankfurter” exhaust system and headpipes. Every
switch, lever, control works perfectly. I have the keys to both boxes on the
sides of the motorcycle, and they are as clean on the inside as the rest of the
motorcycle. The sale of the motorcycle includes a reprint of the Riders
Handbook.
The
chrome engine guards have light scuffs and surface rust, and I do not have a
key to the fork lock. The build date on the motorcycle is 1973 but it is (and
has been ) titled as a 1974 model.
The
motorcycle is ready to ride and enjoy. It is available for inspection by
calling 516-524-4102. I am happy to assist with shipping. NOTE: A New York
State title has recently been applied for. I will guarantee a clean, unbranded
title with no liens. This can take up to three weeks but I intend to have it
expedited. The motorcycle is currently registered and insured in my name. The
successful bidder/buyer will have to wait for the title to be issued before I
can turn it over.
