Pretty much all there Arsey but not as nice as the one I sold Johnno on here. Oh and nowhere near as nice as the old shitter I'm running at the moment
The only thing that doesn't look right are the panniers if that's importantOh and the seat isn't original. Not a bad copy but not quite right.......
Oh, and it really should have slash cut Lanfraconis (as per the old shitter below), the ones on that bike look after market I think?

They look totally differentOne looks lovely. One, well doesn't.
Totally different vibe and chugging around at 50/60 can be (and is) fabulous. I've just been chugging around Biarritz on my old shitter and there isn't a bike I'd rather have been on. It ain't all about bling and the latest must have.....................

The panniers are the fag packet type, my T3 Cali had them as well, they are rare and more sought after it’s not as comfortable a ride as the standard T3, or the G5/ convert, which have a more comfortable seat, and bar combo,
They look nice though,
It’s common to upgrade the 850’s to 950cc, as the 950 replacement barrels and pistons are still being made, in batches, it’s a good thing if the original was chrome bores, which if they peel ruins the engine, there were either chrome bore, nigasul bore, or cast iron bore, though I think the convert was the only cast iron one, and it gives more torque, but they are never going to be fast, think of them as a cruiser before all cruisers sported the custom look,
I sold my T3 to buy a convert, which I have had for the past 5 years, I did 300 miles last weekend on it, and I didn’t go over 60, it’s great, especially in town, you don’t get anywhere fast, but you never feel that your going slow, and you don’t have to keep your eyes peeled for speed vans.
Great info . Ta

Ah, I've heard of the 'fag packet' panniers but have never knowingly seen any, now I know
Oh, and as Ian mentioned comfort don't even think of taking a pillow on a T3 Cali. Because the footboards are highish and the seat low you end up sitting relatively far back if you're anything over 5' tall in order to get a comfy knee bend. This coupled with a sloping pillion section on the seat makes for a very uncomfortable ride for two as they continuously slide into you.........

They are rare, because they break easily, made out of abs, people junked them and bought the fibreglass ones, which are thinner, carry less, but suit the bike more, and survive, hence why you see the fibreglass ones on post 78 bikes, but the abs ones are original.
Pretty sure the T3 Cali on previous page has had a different headlight fitted. Standard one had a wider rim, but the rims rust away.
The deed is done.Ta for the advice.

I had a nose around and found this blog Mike
LINKY
I used google translate to find this
I showed you some time ago the photos of this Guzzi Enduro on a V50 base in an old post, now thanks to the service published on Motociclismo you can appreciate the bike in the habitat for which it was created ...
The bike is made by Romeo Milesi of Bergamo, a land known for the Orobiche Valleys that traditionally produced great endurists, so it was almost natural that in a territory like this a real scrambler was born, capable of going for mule tracks with a proper cycling department so as to be controllable, then a fork of KTM origin and a rear swing arm crafted.
All with a 40 hp engine that certainly does not stand out for its power but that for the use for which it is intended is sufficient and does not put in difficulty.
A bike that many fans should be put into production, but perhaps making it a standard model would lose the charm that only a special can have.
theres a Vimeo vid here
