I think I read where the "A" simply stands for American market.

Super find and buy. Tires and pipes are the two toughest parts it seems. I love the thin whites like on yours. Too bad you can't buy them anywhere.

This may be a bit off the wall but your screen name looks familiar, do you or did you own a Guzzi?

Sold this one last fall. My brother and I have since picked up 2 very sad eldos.


Are tires really that difficult to find? I haven't even begun to look around yet - got to get her running first.

A few parts are hard to find. Whitewall tires are hard to find right now but blackwall tires are not. I have 2 different brands of blackwalls for sale. As far as mufflers go you may want to look into an aftermarket set. I have a set of cocktail shakers on mine.

I have bought from RetroBikes, they are good to deal with.

Do the rectifier replacement.

I have a wiring diagram and a few other things I can send you if you shoot me your email.

Battery

Blood, there are two different batteries used on Dreams. Early style is longer and narrower and a good bit harder to find. Measure your battery box to make sure which size you need before you buy.

Nice find! The upper and lower chain guard on that thing would probably bring $100 on fleabay.
