I've seen a billion P200s but this one is really beautiful, like it's been in a living room its whole life. Check out the front shock and the selector box protector. Positive

Dare I ask what your friend paid for this beauty?

I can't imagine its going to take much to get this on the road. I have never seen paint this nice, even 25 years ago.

I have no idea either, the rear shock was also replaced. Both shocks are real odd, the front has a 13mm nut welded to the bottom where an 8mm bolt is screwed in, the rear shock is some type of reservoir shock that has a Piaggio stamp on it. I'm going to take apart the front shock and figure out what's going on, science demands answers.

The side pic looks a little like an old Bitubo reservoir. Do you have any other pics of the shock?
