There's a plate at the weld to close the bottom of the crankcase breather chamber, inside the upper part of the spine. Condensed oil vapor returns to the sump from a port just above the weld. Not a new idea, but it is smart, two functions for the spine.

Ok, if it is officially "just posing", I guess I can live with that. I get a bit annoyed when I see people not taking the tools of my trade seriously. As if doing sound were something that doesn't require any specialist knowledge. Ha f---ing ha.

Seems this warty part only gets in the view when there is a picture of "something else" . . .

Yeah. So. "Diesel" for short . . .

Well let me know if any of you plan to venture this way @Tomchri Norway blows Scotland into the weeds when it comes to stunning scenery, but our booze is a lot cheaper

I'd hazard a guess it's the spacer for the rim retention screw. It goes over the screw inside the rim so when the screw is tightened down it doesn't deform the rim.

Good luck with the sale Rockers.............. these are spectacular machines with immense character to to own and ride IMHO Ciao

you guys are awesome Maybe once we are allowed in your country I can participate. Ciao

V11 Sport is interviewing Docc?

Well, interviewing the V11 for its contribution to this question of course

The screen stands off the surface of the oil cooler. Exploded views are in the Parts Catalog . . . page 76, "Code 34.43." Sorry, I'm not finding any images of the mounting. Another view with the mounting horning in like your crazy uncle doing a photo crash . . .

Early mounting brackets were alloy and cracked. There were steel warranty replacement suppplied. (I'm looking for a better pic, but here is a start) . . . Note the rubber isolation dampers:

Excellent condition Rosso Corse. About 9,000 miles, 2nd owner. Many extras installed, including H&B Bags with rack, Russel Day-Long saddle, Bar Risers, Roper Plate, running lights. Bike had upgraded performance package and titanium exhaust. Located in northern Wisconsin. Send a message for more info and photos.

Well, I didn't DO anything to my Lemans today... that will probably be a few months later after some other projects get under control, but I did spend some money on it. To offset some of those costs, I also have been selling a number of bits that aren't relevant (such as old fuel tank parts from my tank experiments all those years ago) and other extras after going through my 5 tubs of spare parts and accessories It's been discussed here before, but apparently MG only had the oil-cooler guard/cover on the V11 Sport early-on, then it disappeared. So they can be harder to find, especially new. After looking for one of these for nearly 20 years that wasn't astronomically priced, I found one that was brand new and just nearly not quiiiiite astronomically priced ...coming from Italy, of course. With that in mind, it might be nice to see some photos of how it is mounted from the factory on anyone's bikes, or via an image from a service manual exploded view. I also picked up a set of different head guards from jjkpguzzi, Joe Kenny on eBay and also posts on Wildguzzi, just to change things up after 20 years. A link to a post here about his products.

Been to both and have to say... They both have stunning scenery! Cheers Guzzler

Not much for the shape of the rear cowl; the curve could have matched the tank maybe? " complex electrics"(!) I kinda got lost with the "cables and carbs" spiel near the end...and, of course, no hammers in the pictures!😅

Al, call ☎️ Curtis @ Harpers, I bought new old stock cheap, would probably work for your application.

Well, yeah. These things probably cost a billion Lire back in the day. (A dollar and a half in today's money . . . )

Yep, must use the 1999-2001 Parts Catalog. No screen was fitted after the early Sports. The most specific image I could find, also the most blurry . . .

Is that spark ignited, or diesel?

Scenery ok, but do like plenty in Scotland. Listen to Amy Mcdonald talk, and sing, great l think. Beer and +++. Edinburg-Inverness last july seeing friends. Magni ++ was on my mind ,, Cheers Tom.

Throughout the years, I found that Lagavulin was my preferred Islay. I used to be partial to Glenmorangie, but that was before the Lagavulin. When you think that back in the 90's we paid the equivalent of 40 dollars for a bottle; today the cheapest one is at 90 dollars....

I know this is an old thread, but as a recipient of the warranty replacement engine cases for the bubbling 2002 finish, I can concur with Jaap that the replacement cases were the same fuzzy/textured black finish as the originals, not the later 03+ smooth semi-gloss/satin finish. The new cases were a near exact match to the transmission, although they were a bit darker since they hadn't yet been exposed to road grime, etc.

Other than riding Guzzis, of course! Election news gets understandable first place in the media here today, but this also made our local daily, the Winchester Star! 😄 If you care, here’s a link to the “rest of the story," which even has some Guzzi content. Old Guy Collects Flags Bill P.S. Apropos the second part of this post's title, the newspaper reporter who wrote the story collects ... drum roll, please ... sink stoppers! Yes, really. Has 600 of them! Made me seem darn near normal.
