I have a extra tank bag and tank mount that I will sell for $250 for the set ( plus shiping ). No shoulder strap but I think I have the rain bag ( no promises ). If interested PM me for any questions or more pic's.

I’ve only managed about 650 miles on the heavily GTM modified Eldorado. At only 2 1/2 weeks past a full knee replacement, my riding days are still weeks away.

But let me tell you, those were absolutely fantastic 650 miles. I’m so anxious to get Bella out again.

A dear friend and brother will be picking up my Victory Cross Country Tour later this week.

I’m looking forward to a very long relationship with Bella and Betty. Betty being my greatly enhanced 2013 Victory Hard-Ball.

This is the all leather matching Eldorado tank bag I purchased from AF1 Racing. As I posted elsewhere, the leather, the stitching and the hardware are a perfect match for the Eldorado leather saddlebags.

I’m using the mount (2S000038) I purchased from Bill W as mentioned in a previous post. The tank bag (2S000039), cordura and leather I purchased from Bill W is available if anyone needs it.

Here’s a picture of the all leather tank bag:




I’ll post the Cordura and leather tank bag (2S000039) for sale in the Swap Meet section as well. $150 delivered to your 48 contiguous US address.

I'm 6 weeks past knee replacement so I have a bit longer before I can get on the Eldorado and parade her around town. Plus, well, it's only 30 degrees F here today.

I'm on my way to enhancing the Eldo as well. I've gotten good deals on some beautiful Moto Guzzi - DPM accessories. I bought a few extra pieces that I'm selling off for cost as well. Why did I buy them? Because they were great deals so I figured I'd pass along a great deal.

I bought the beautiful Eldorado leather saddlebags as well as the matching tank bag. I don't have the 'correct' tank bag mount yet but the one I bought used will work. I'm considering having the correct one made by a local contact that makes custom fit motorcycle vests.   

Next decision is the matching 30L all leather Eldorado trunk bag. Apparently Moto Guzzi had two designs made under the same item number. The earlier version is more square and the later version is more of a duffle bag shape. Both clearly made by the same subcontractor that made the saddlebags and the tank bag. Same leather, stitching, hardware and design.

Oh, but the price! That's a bit of a heart stopper. I found the older version for around $300, which, is actually a decent deal for a 10 year old piece. The seller seems to be selling off the last old stock one they have. The later version has an MSRP over $900! IMHO, they both look great but the later version aesthetics match the saddlebag aesthetics perfectly. 

If I can sell the few items I have shown on two Guzzi forums it makes a purchasing decision a lot easier.

Then again, for me, this Eldorado is a life long motorcycle. Piagio certainly isn't making any more accessories for the 1400's so, once they're gone, they're gone for good.

Takes care of that. Tim ant Cadre Cycle informed me yesterday the item number for the all leather 30L black bag is NLA. So, what’s already at a seller is all the nos there is. That, or perhaps a used one somewhere.

Yes, I know, a first world kind of thing. Minor in the big picture of life.

They have three of this model left in inventory. When they’re gone, they’re gone.





This version is no where to be found but is/was under the same 2S000527 item number.

Or why they are forced to mount a trunk so high and so far behind the rear axle. Afterthought designs are irksome.

My Eldo’s 3 piece leather ensemble is now complete.
I pick up the trunk tomorrow from my local (Cleveland, TN) Guzzi dealer. The saddlebags, the trunk and the tank bag all match perfectly.

Congratulations on the overall design and execution Moto Guzzi. Well done!

For those asking why spend money on a 10 year discontinued model Moto Guzzi. This Eldorado is, for me, a grail bike that I’ll likely keep for life. I’m essentially doing what I did with my Victory Hard-Ball. Also, a grail keep for life bike. That is I searched and acquired the items for the bike I wanted.

Neither Victory nor Moto Guzzi are making more of these bikes. The bikes are genuinely quite robust. Factory accessories are harder to find for the Victory now than they were when I was looking a few years ago. Thankfully that bike is complete.

Factory accessories for the Eldorado, except for a few items are gone from Puaggio. But, with eBay and a few other aftermarket sources, It’s now also complete. And, I never paid MSRP for anything for the ElDorado. Especially an Italian eBay source I found, most factory accessories were priced quite right. So much so that I bought extras that I’m now selling so someone else may find something they want.
