also ran across a buy parting out a 98 EV in Atlanta on Craigslist yesterday.

Can't help with the speedometer, but for the side cover, you might try the
MGNOC classifieds. There was at least one EV being parted out, and aside from
paint and decals, the side covers are the same.
Also, Moto Guzzi Classics in California offers fiberglass repos that are
"guaranteed not to crack." I'm not sure how much they are, but in
my past dealings with them, prices have been reasonable.
Good luck!

in the cold wind with slacks and spring gloves on. Can't say that my fingers
weren't frozen in the first 10 minutes of a 20 minute ride.

broke now that the Odometer cleared 23k. Any suggestions on troubleshooting or
other advice, as I've never had this happen to me and barely know how this
works on the Jackal.
