My blue Convert.

It took me a year or so to spot the black with White stripes under the ice blue where the seat was rubbing.

There was also a brown or bronze metallic, similar to root beer held up to the light.

I recently acquired a `77 white w/black stripes Convert.  No metallic in the white.  I've replaced the factory tall tinted windshield which is in very good shape.  if you are interested in the windshield, let's make a deal.  :azn:

Interesting all the different handlebars the Convert.s came with.   My `80 had a much lower, narrower bar.  My `76 has a handlebar so tall it has a cross brace like a dirt bike and for us  the grips are pull back instead of horizontal.   This gives the bike a whole different feel.  I suppose if your are really tall (over 6') our bar would work better for you than us, or at least what I'm used to a Guzzi feeling like..
