Been there will do that again! Docc isn’t part of the ownership experience at 20+ years old finding parts like a treasure hunt? As many are discontinued.
Sittting at the counter Saturday , I realized "all men are equal (only) at a BBQ stand . You will see farm hands sitting next to Judges and they have one thing in common . a good sandwich !
I finally found one on Ebay Italy. Took a while to arrive from Sicily. Other than that, wild Guzzi or here is probably your best bet. Do you mean a service stand?
You left out Mistral in Mandello Del Lario. I was surprised with the low Euro how far my low Canadian dollar went on a big exhaust order. They were excellent to deal with
I have experience with most on that list and after a pleasant purchase with Mistral, I'll be dealing with them direct again. Sooner than I intended, now that I've fought with & understand the crossover/header bs. lol.
Sorry no one else followed up on this last comment.
Personally I think insulating the stock airbox is a good idea. My Daytona had an airbox that was under the seat, not wrapping up and forward to the V of the engine. But I think overall the V11 airbox is a better design. But one drawback of the V11 design would be engine heat. Anything that slows the transfer of heat to the airbox should help reduce intake temps. Reducing intake air temps should help make more power. Will it transform a V11 into a fire breathing monster? No. That ain't gonna happen. But more power is good.
Hey Scud,
Since my last post, I got the Mojolever and have had no problems changing tires on the nomar, I've done 7 so far. Also, I lightly sanded the nomar center post and no longer get flaking wrinkle paint sloughing off of it but still like your ground rod recommendation to replace that post, it is on my "to do" list.

Probably lodging discounts for Kentucky residents . . .

Yo! Talkin' to you, bud.
Both of your chiropractors have already written you Doctor's Notes.
Could come down to a Southern-SpineRaid/West-Between-the-Lifts-at-gstallons-Shop-After-Hours
(I tried to make an acronym out of that and choked like a cat on a hairball )
I’ am in ! I am officially committed to this plan or any variation of it. The lodge location sounds ideal in many ways, as in they have food, beds, showers and many rooms. The area in general has many great roads too. Let’s ride !!!

The use of wet liners is interesting. I wonder why they went that way rather than nicasiling the block like the 'Prilla V4's and the like?
Nice to see a return to replaceable main bearings too.
Scisor gear for primary timing and single chain per side. I want to see more detail of the finger followers and how they are moved for valve lash adjustment.
Maybe V11s are different, but coming from a Griso and being around the Guzzi scene I've seen Guzzi riders as some of the "thriftiest" motorcyclist out there. Im sure someones reading this and snapping their suspenders before they reply to me
