Afriend needs a battery for his 2003 1150rt,cheaper the better.
Good/Fast/Cheap...........Pick any two. Guessing its a YTX-14BS battery. If so I've had good luck with Duracell from Batteries Plus for around $120 + they come with a 3 year non-prorated warranty.

I just got an older RAM clutch. Degreasing is the first order of business. Carb cleaner is my friend!
Will the new Clutch plate fit in the old Ram Clutch? Different pushrod?

I took nine photos of the magazine pictures last night, but the system choked when I tried to upload them, even though I had reduced the resolution. I'll try again, one by one. I figure I will just upload the first one in this message and then modify it successively to include the other photos as fast as this can be done. So if they're not here at first, you should check back.
Sadly, I have changed my mind. Even attempting to upload a single photo was unsuccessful. My son, a great computer expert, says that he never spends more than five minutes on a problem before giving up. I give up. Good luck. Moto
P.S. if you finally restore your bike to its original condition, at least you'll have the pleasure of owning something that depends in no way on computers and electronics. So there is that satisfaction.
P.P.S. it is the March, not July, 1974 issue of the magazine that has a review of the 850 T. It will come up occasionally on eBay, sold by Italians typically. Good luck.

Where is your closest Guzzi dealer, or at least some kind of indy shop that will work on a Guzzi? Need to factor that into your purchasing decision. Luckily for me, I have a dealer that's about an hour and a half away, bought a '23 V7 Stone Special Edition and a '24 V100 Mandello Navale from them. If it were me, if you could afford to buy a new one, I'd go that route. That way, you could "personalize" it to your liking, and have some comfort in knowing that no one has tinkered with it except you. I checked my dealer's inventory, and they have this V7 Stone listed:

Xtreme in Accident MD has 2024 Stones listed at $7190. That would seem to be the price to beat on new leftover 850's, at least on the East Coast

Another reason to do business with some of the great dealers for Guzzi. There are a few. I've worked in a few good shops and see what a good dealer does.
It's not spit polish and sell, but those are most definitely out there.

If new ones are over 10K and the one the OP is looking at is 5K I would think thats a good deal. Know that the suspender crowd here only approves of bikes that are totally stock. Any mods like changing mirrors automatically reduces its value by 90%.

Also in California. I wouldn't be afraid of that bike. Buying from a private owner would also save a boat load of money at least here in Cali and my local dealer's fees.
