Ok, so a bit of an update to the thread. I talked with Mike Rich about porting and polishing the heads, but unfortunately the turnaround time is too long for my goals. Instead I'll have a friend who's a master motorcycle mechanic and experienced hot-rodder to do the porting. I've dropped in a Megacycle 620x9 cam (along with new tappets) and a roper plate. I have the new clutch/ intermediate plates, springs and will be keeping the stock flywheel. At this point, I have everything I need engine wise besides the porting, and just need to go through it and make sure everything is torqued down and replace the engine consumables (rings, gaskets, valve stem seals) I also took this opportunity to take off the Ohlins and get them serviced (JpH suspension) and will go back to him for further adjustment when everything is back together. r3datom9, I'm more then willing to trade bikes when everything is back together and explore what riding the north bay has to offer. It'll be interesting to compare the bikes once all is said and done.

Hi all, Joined the forum a few months back, but no post up until now, I have mainly been sneaking around....... I have a 2001 V11 Le Mans, Champagne (bought her in June last year). Pics will follow once I figure out how that works (the forum update seems to be causing some problems with that). 'Bike history' (sounds more impressive than it actually is): 1984 Honda CBX 550 (stolen), 1978 Honda CX500 (too old/slow for the motorway and sold) and now the Guzzi, definitely a keeper! Tomorrow I am going to replace the old and hardened tires for some fresh rubber, looking forward to the drive home.... Cheers!
