The Boss and his Guzzi

[steven c]

 The story behind it. Guzzi i should have made an EV like this, but Billy Joel did.

Yeah, that one has been around here before.

I certainly would like that 5.9 gallon Eldo tank on my Bassa, which will only take 4.7

How come the Boss doesn't post on here, we'd get him back on the road LOL

Nice looking bike.  What saddlebags are on it?

They look like Craven saddlebags.

It�s a California Vintage with an Eldorado tank/sidecovers, solo seat, early windshield, Craven panniers, painted/striped fenders, and an old style taillight and directionals. It seems like it would be a pretty straightforward job to reproduce this look...

The tank looks like a Loop tank, but is much larger, so likely either an extensively modified Loop tank or custom-made item. Sidecovers are custom-made also and sort of resemble the Loop battery covers.

As Antietam posited they are indeed Cravens.  I just ordered a new set of Craven's for my V7iii and mounted them on the bike using Hepco Becker loop brackets and Touratech puck style hardware.  Bike is still on the lift.   I got the Comet bags which are top open.  Nicely scaled for the V7iii IMO.

Google craven industries motorcycle and the should come up.

I really like the bags, nice thick real fiberglass.  Looks exactly like they were made in 1965.  The Craven folks were great to deal with.  The postage was so minimal I thought they made a mistake, offered to pay more, but was declined.

Nice bike over rated "entertainer"

Someone should have read the manual about how to access the battery.

[Sheepdog]

The solo seat is bolted down, foiling easy battery access. Exclusivity comes with a price...

I'd sure like to know more anout that tank. Likely internal fuel pump.

A modern tank from another brand, perhaps...
