Moto Guzzi 850T description

1975 Moto Guzzi 850T with the following enhancements:
1000cc cylinders (more grunt!), about 2500 miles (approx) since the 1000cc upgrade.
"T2" conversion (dual front disc brakes plumbed to front master cylinder, with stainless braided lines), greatly improves braking feel and stopping power and reduces the "squeezing the brick" typical guzzi front brake feel)
Permanent Magnet Gear Reduction (PMGR) high torque starter (cranks engine faster, uses less amperage to do it)
Barnett heavy duty clutch.
Bar-end turn signals (visible from both the front and rear, eliminating the need for the ugly and fragile 70's style rear turn signal stalks.)
Avon RoadRider tires front and rear (excellent condition)
IKON rear shocks (adjustable)
Recovered seat with new foam.
Helical cam gear conversion (rock solid cam/ignition timing, smoother more stable idle,  no more timing chain worries, eliminating the terrible stock timing chain tensioner that never worked.)
Solid state adjustable voltage high current voltage regulator.
Dyna-S Electronic Ignition (no more points!)
BMW mufflers (nice deep throaty tone, (has additional baffles currently installed, which can be removed if you wish for louder more aggressive pipes),  see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m1TOemDfR8E)
Professionally powder coated frame (Black Lava frame, Black side covers, black highlights on crash bars, triple trees, etc)
Midnight treatment: blacked out engine with proper high temp paint (it just looks sexier in my opinion)
Polished stainless steel fasteners throughout (with few exceptions)

Notes for full disclosure:
There are a few minor scratches on the tank where the seat meets it (common for these due to the way the seat swings up (pivot at the rear)).
There's a very small ding in the tank on the right front side,  its very shallow and hard to see unless you get the light on it just the right way.
There are a few minor paint chips on the engine.  A can of extra paint for any future touch-ups will be provided.

Get on and RIDE, need NOTHING!
