So what models would that fit, the early Le Mans?

forward hinge gas cap designed to scoop your nuts off. nice... Guzzi abandoned that when the LAPD pointed it out. Hinge caps at the back.

I think it would fit any Tonti frame.

Yes, I think that's right.

A little tweaking would probably be necessary.

Most likely why they quit the swing-around lock rod, like on my 700's. I never thought of that, I have forward exited twice, and learned how to walk again twice.

Anyone who can get up that way is in for a surprise.
He let me stay one night at his place and the following morning we went up into the loft…..
There were all the ones that people didn’t come back for…. :drool:

Manx Nortons, Triumph, Guzzi, Jap 4’s….etc

Weren't these "hand made" tanks from India a few years ago and available on the big auction site for a few $100 with questionable fitment then.


Ad says otherwise..
