Moto Guzzi Le Mans V description

I bought this bike from a true gearhead (I'm not one, so bear with me), and he made some positive modifications:
Front Brake decoupled from Rear Brake.
Timing chain replaced with gear mechanism.
Different carbs and air cleaners.

I installed tarozzi rearsets ($300), because I like the more aggressive riding position.
Includes:
Replacement side panels in VG condition.
All the stuff I took off... side stand, original pegs, shift lever, brake lever.
Manuals, as shown in pics.  Look like bootleg copies.
Handlebar endcaps that can hold the gas on for warmup or cruise control (I took them off).
I'll throw in a seatbag and saddlebags that the original owner gave me, but I never used.
Corbin seat as pictured.  Ive been using the original.

Note: Front tire has a slow leak that I never tracked down.  Has to be brought up to pressure every 3-4 months.  Leaks just a bit of oil.  No other negatives that I'm aware of.  

Bike starts easy (unless it's really cold) and runs great.  It doesn't accelerate like a rocket, but it's a torky monster and gives you smooth power when you roll on the gas.
The front and back wheels ar the same size, not like some of the Le Mans models before this one where they ignored the engineers design and followed the fad for smaller front wheels.

At age 57, I'm just not a motorcycle guy, anymore.  I used to love death defying, white knuckle rides at highly illegal speeds, but, no more.  Ive only ridden this thing 1000 miles in three years, so... time to sell.
