1977 Lemans 850 Resto project
« on: September 02, 2015, 02:44:58 PM »
I am getting ready to start my restoration on a 77 Lemans 850 MK1 I picked up totally disassembled and in bad shape.  Can anyone who currently owns a LM1 MK1  tell me if the frame & swingarm are originally gloss black or satin black?   This frame looks gloss black but the example at the Barbers Museum is satin.

Thanks.

If you need all the manuals specific to the Le Mans 850, then just send me a PM with your full name and mailing address. I'll send you a CD with the factory workshop manual, the 850 Le Mans supplement, owner's manual and parts manual. It also contains a number of tips, how-to explanations, wiring diagrams, copies of period ads and brochures, and period road tests. No charge.

The same offer is open to all WildGuzzi forum members.
