That's interesting. I thougt I read several years ago that they had ceased making custom tanks. Apparently not. Here's the site, I believe. Al's Facebook link wouldn't let me in without signing up. (Not a chance of that happening...) https://www.alu-tanks.de/39994.html all in German, and no English option, but there is contact info there under "Kontakt": https://www.alu-tanks.de/41368.html

And here are some photos of the bike as he continued to transform the Lemans into his vision of a cafe-styled retro bike

Yesterday and today, rode nearly 100 miles, everything works perfecto!

guess my life is now complete thank you Mr. P wherever you are.

Go Joe. Can I have your workshop when you're finished with it?

Mmmmm , I'd have to hold onto one before making a concrete statement .

Make sure you get the fasteners to bolt this on. And yes , these racks don't hold much . So do not expaect to tie a couple of small block chevy cylinder heads on it to take to the machine shop.

Unfortunately that first seat is from a pre-1998, and won't mount to a 1998+ I'll look at the listings for the second link, but being overseas can be a challenge of course. ...and it's funny that the third link goes to the "Moto Guzzi California" FB group, which I had searched for but didn't find! That's potentially very helpful Thanks!

Thanks but as mentioned in my post, I've been working with Mark for a couple weeks.... he doesn't have anything that will work right now unfortunately.

@al_roethlisberger What about this one? https://www.subito.it/accessori-moto/sella-california-3-e-altri-modelli-moto-guzzi-milano-480907712.htm and this? https://www.motoitalia.it/it/5012-ricambi-california-california-ev-ev-touring-80-1100-2001-2002-telaio-sella This Facebook add is from 2022, I don't know if anything is left.... https://www.facebook.com/groups/motoguzzicalifornia/posts/10159040118006305/

Those tufted areas look like they would hold water wonderfully.

Some of us may remember; in 1978, Van Halen released their first album. The Eruption piece really blew the minds of all aspiring guitar players. 40 years later, an Australian band decided to celebrate this master moment by playing the album live, as you would have listened to the record. The guitarist, Simon Hosford really steps up to the spirit!

Hi Al, I installed the bulb last Fall and have no idea what kind on longevity it will have. The packaging has the CREE LED name on it but cannot confirm it is a genuine CREE product. Additionally, I just bought a Sylvania LED 194 bulb to replace the incandescent pilot bulb and hope to install it soon. I plan on checking the current draw of both headlight & pilot light combined when I get a minute and post my numbers. I installed an Auxito brand LED in my '87 Lemans, it fit fine whereas, it would not fit the V11 Lemans...base was too thick and overall length was 8-10mm too long as I recall. 4/30/23 Update: The LED bulb described in the pic below draws 0.45 amps on low, 0.65 amps on high. I thought these values were way too low but when I did the math for a 9w bulb (W divided by V = A), it was in the neighbrhood. The originalH4 had a 4.18 amp draw. I wonder how bright this will be at night??!! Glad I'm not out after dark. 7/6/23 Update: The LED bulb described in the pic below has failed, I'm now in pursuit of another. The Auxito bulb I installed in my '87 Lemans draws 1.7a on low beam, 2.1a on high. I've been out after dark with this bike, I was racing against sunset and sunset won, The Auxito bulb provided me with plenty of light imho. Art

I've pulled this up because I read something directly related in the German forum a couple of weeks ago. Someone started a topic about how he was having trouble setting his TPS. Paul wrote: Karsten wrote: Bernd, the bloke who programmed GuzziDiag, wrote: So, the problem is not that GuzziDiag is in any way inaccurate or anything like that. It only sees what the ECU delivers, and the ECU is apparently not capable of measuring the Voltage of the TPS when the butterflies are fully closed. Those who don't own a multmeter should be trotting off to buy one about now...

Let me see if I can channel my inner Pete Roper... the No-Mar bar is as useless as a dead dingo's donger. In other words, I'm still using the Mojo lever. And Ru-glyde. Have not tried the No-Mar lube yet. And get those tires nice and warm in the sun - makes life easier.

He got to you just in time. I was just going to mention I had two.. one for a V11S, and another for a Quota.
