Yes, it IS a great bike! I don't think it's the mechanic in general that fails in older Guzzis. It's more the electric. If the bike is re-wired it can run forever, it seems. I know of several Guzzis with more than 300 000 miles on the clock. I'm sure yours'll be no exeption when brought back into one piece.
BTW: I saw your diary on your site. Great piece of work. Well done with the upcoming twins too! It had to be twins, right? I have two kids myself. Would never be without them ever. I became father very young and nearly crapped my pants when thinking about the responsibility. But no worries. I assure you. Guzzisti always come through you know.
