Fabulous resto. and a great thread.
I've followed it almost from the start and reread it twice when you offered the bike for sale. At which point I gave serious consideration to making contact, having previously wondered if it might be for sale in a couple of years once you'd had some time to enjoy the fruits of your labour.
Unfortunately, for me, the timing was off as I'd already stumbled across a great deal on a near new v85tt, a bike I'd decided I was going to buy at some point. For a brief period I nutured the fantasy of having two Guzzi 850's - one old, one new - side by side in what I laughingly refer to as the garage. Would have been a beautiful thing. Unfortunately there was the small matter of finances, and no matter how I did the sums I couldn't make them add up...
Hopefully it went to a fellow tosser who will, I've no doubt, get a great deal of enjoyment from it and I get to pick up the v85tt next week, which I'm really looking forward to. The Cali will just have to be the one that got away (actually there's been a couple of those). C'est la vie
And, BTW, so glad that LED monstrosity has gone - great on a modern bike but just jarred on the Cali
