The powder coating process took longer than expected as half the old bubbled crappy 02 paint practically fell off but the other half didn't want to come off at all..Then after much effort finally the powder coater said he was afraid to turn the pressure up on the sand blaster any higher for fear of doing damage to the cases..so We took the cases to another guy in LA that he recommended who does a special chemical paint removal and after 2 weeks there it was ready to go back to the powder coater and be coated..He did a great job of masking and painting..very happy with that! So now the motor is on its way back together, sort of got sidetracked ( as always happens) as there was some light scoring on the crank bearings so we had to redo crank and bearings, and the timing chain gear didn't want to come off so we had to cut the chain off to get the gear off..so we replaced all of those parts...then we decided to put in some new valve seals since we were there and seemed like the opportune time..the valves and pistons looked very good, we also replaced the old one and powder coated a new sump pan as it was starting to crack where the side stand bolts go in..they were loose from when I got the bike... ..but now at last Progress!!

They are fckt

If it as as clean as it appears and you are into V11 Sports It seems to me that you would be hard pressed to find a nicer one imo, and would probably have at least 4-5 times the milage. On this one a Set of nice Mistrals...Some new rubber it would look beautiful....and something I would be proud to own..$6k is the "asking price" right?

Agreed

My riding buddy years ago had a dog named Buck..,Buck was half Rhodesion Ridgeback and Half Great Dane..Big dog, maybe 160 lbs..My buddy had a new Jeep CJ 5 then with every off road attachment you could imagine on it, But every time he would go to the Pub and leave Buck in the Jeep too long,..Buck would eat the upholstery off the seats..at first my friend Steve ..who is super Anal about his vehicles was so pissed threatened to shoot the dog and took Buck down to the beach to do it....but he loved the dog too much and he couldn't do it, So..eventually after 2-3 sets of Upholstery..we just saw him driving around town for years in this beautiful Jeep with the exception that it had only springs left on the seats and a towel thrown over them..Buck riding happily in the back!

Must be a male.. Ive raised and competed with many Rotties

Transmission was all powder coated, gone thru and now back together..now for the motor!! Step by step!

This comes up as front but its rear ( cant remember how I figured that out ( maybe many years working in dealrships as a parts manager when I was younger..lol) Anyway..this is what I ordered a few months ago and it was the rear for my Rosso Corsa...at that time it came fairly fast maybe 2 weeks, AP8213196 Front brake caliper - AP8213196 $115.66 (USD) 1 $115.66 (USD)

Whole new Gold brembo caliper for my Rosso Corsa from Guzzi via Af1 Racing only cost me $95 from AF1 a few months ago.. new. Just Sayin

That guy with the Greenie wont even return e mails...been on there for a month..something is fishy...

I believe it will....or close to it...depending on how it looks up close. Its been posted less than 24 hours...and It IS out in the middle of Texas...not an easy place for most people to drop by and have a look....lol

a low mileage bike you seldom see for sale..

Good be worse docc...

Saw him a few times many years ago( 70's) with Bonnie Raitt and Linda Ronstadt...David Lindley..good shows!

Vapor blasting?

Over the past 10 years I have personally done 4-5 tanks for myself and a 2-3 for friends , Aprilia,Ducati,and Moto guzzi V-ll "Plastic" tanks( they are actually a Nylon formula if you read in depth on the subject on posts over the past 10-20 years on Ducati websites like " ducati ms)) tanks that were Swollen..a couple REALLY swollen so swollen you could barely get them off the frame, On all the ones I did I took them off for at least three or four months.. ( I have talked about it here before). I always did it over the winter months to not lose as much riding time..unless I had a spare tank.., I wash them well,pull the filler, and petcock, and internal pump.. then let them sit in my Wife's planting sun room for at least 3 months..and I stuck a cheap hair dryer in the filler hole and run it on high every couple days..after the three or four months I treat them with a "FULL"can of Caswell "Blood" sealer, making sure to reach all inside areas,( following their directions) and then let them dry another week before installing..they all shrunk and went back on easy peasy..and to date none of them have re-swollen as far as I know. One Aprilia "Factory tank"had multiple bubbles..I carefully heated the bubble with a heat gun, then used a needle and punctured the bubble and pressed it down hard with a thumb and re heated..that one I did 4-5 years ago and still looks good. So..FWW..thats my experience

Happens to the best of us...unfortunately..Oh well make lemonade out of lemons...and keep on rollin!

After I get the Scura together, probably another month, maybe we can get together for a ride...Enjoy!

I think maybe Scud.. but in anycase it worked! Great! I usually wash them out good with hot water and joy and leave my tanks off for 2-4 months over the winter, that seems to work pretty well.

I take my family out there to the actual point every couple of years, their is no place like it..beautiful, almost other worldly at certain times of the year...and yes..Some great riding around there !

If it was many many..like in the early 70's..when I first went there ,its not the same at all..La Honda its self has very empty..not like in the 70's when I went to the "Boots and Saddles" bar was there and Neal Young used to live behind the building and when he was in town he would come in on Sunday nights, sit at the piano with his little son and play for a couple hours for free.., Alice's is still a good place for decent food and a short weekend ride though. Alices is open every day and night ..but getting too $$$$$ for my blood. Nice trip..I used to ride all those places when I was college age in SF and a little beyond that time..I moved to L.A. for work and then to Hawaii, been back here in the Bay area for 10 years now. My wife grew up in the Haight in the 60's. Those Mini's are nice..I've thought maybe that is what I'll get when my 2 wheel days are over..if they still allow us to drive gas powered vehicles.

I had a great ride today up the coast to Jenner ( on the Pacific Ocean ) and back..about 220 miles all in all. Beautiful day and this is a beautiful route once you leave the FWY in San Rafael...on the way up you wind thru Lucas Ranch road and up HWY 1 past Pt.Reyes Station..then at Jenner you cut back east on 116 along the Russian River and thru beautiful Sonoma wine country all the way back to HWY1 Only thing missing was my Scura as she is still in the middle of restoration...But at least I did have my S4RS which runs awesome!

My wife and I spent a week in Mandello del Lario 3 years ago on our 3 week riding Vacation of Italy and the Alps...One of the best memories of my life, I cant wait to go back!
