KINDOY2

Thank you Frank..:-).Nice to know!!

Thanks tom...I assume I have to remove that inner panel behind the gauges to get after a couple of those "Few Bolts"?

I searched around some but couldn't find a thred... What is the easiest way to get at the headlight on the Le Mans..( specifically my 03 Rosso Corsa)....Do I have to pull the whole front fairing or? And..Is there a way to pull the whole fairing pretty much in one unit? Or does it have to come off section by section?

He hasn't owned it for years and an article I read said he has had so many Moto Guzzi's he can't begin to remember them all..Moto Guzzi gives/or gave (not sure about today) him a new model every time they come out and he is /was their promotional man. Hope it makes someone Happy Though!!!

Doesn't it still move the peg outboard about an inch on the brake lever side?

I use them alot for my online photos...great site!

"Live with the stock pegs, which really aren't THAT bad honestly. It's no R1 " My sentiments exactly...:-)

The problem for me with these different lowered pegs is that is places your feet outboard about an inch more. With the oem pegs your boot is partially on the mount bracket with the lowered ones it is not..so you have to kind of turn the front of your foot inward to really get it under the shifter rubber otherwise I felt like just my big toe is doing the shifting..At least that is my experience..I didn't like it...Maybe others have a different opinion.

Is it me? 10k miles seems rather early to have changed the Cam chain..

Mike is a good guy and oNe is a good group..I watched all his Videos for years while building my Commando's..!!

I've known Elvin since 1967 I was a teenager when he first came to S.F. by way of Chicago where he went from High School in Tulsa Where he won a National Merit Scholarship to The University of Chicago and played with Paul Butterfield and Mike Bloomfield.One of My High School Chums from back there was his manager for many years, so I don't think I ever missed a gig where he played in the Bay area and a couple others I knew from High School were in various blues bands with him around SF, He lived up in Marin and still does in the same house.. I went to a couple fish fry party's at his house back in the 70's and did some lake fishing in Marin where he was along on and a few other guys and friends who worked with his bands. Never into drugs even in the 60's when everyone in music seemed to be, he always just liked to have a couple beers and share a good laugh's and a stories. He still plays the little clubs around SF when he is in town, I last talked to him last year...One of a kind for sure...This new song really shows his sense of humor....amazing he still has one after what happened to his wife and daughter a few years ago..if anyone has a right to play the blues its him.

Beautiful bike..what exhaust is that?

Thanks again docc..I loosened everything up but between the front balance tube connecting the header pipes together, and he Stucchi crossover connecting everything else together underneath, , their isn't much room for "give"..anyway..I loosened everything, I had to squirt a little "Breakfree" on some connections, then took my plastic mallet and tapped and moved everything around as much as it would budge until it seemed like there was the least stress...hard to tell if I accomplished anything but it seemed the muffler I moved from the outside mounting to the inside moved its angle just a little so the mounting tab is a little inboard and the there isn't so much torque on the 2 mounting bolts which go into the can. I Ran it until it was hot..I couldn't detect and leaks..so WE WILL SEE..I have barely ridden this RC as I was waiting for new rubber since I bought it , the old tires looked like new but the date on them told me 13 years old!!, The bike has been sitting the last 5 years so I wasn't willing to roll the dice on that rubber. Comparing it to my Greenie and my Rosso Mandello it does seem to shake a bit more when Cold and Slow idling but that may be just because I'm not used to having that big Le Mans fairing up there with the mirrors on it moving around..it revs smooth and crisp...further riding and a basic tune up should tell the tale!

Thanks docc..I did loosen some of the connections ..but not at the heads..sounds like I have a little more to do..it was still pretty stressed ..more than I liked.

I'm glad you mentioned this..I went out and looked at my Rosso Corsa after reading it today ,,,One side was an 'Inny" and the other side was an "Outty" I guess the P.O. did that..Now they are both "Inny's"...My OCD feels SOOOO much better..!! How could I ever have missed that?...I'm slipping!

Mine or outside for now ..but that may change today!

The exhaust is just the regular Mistral Aluminum that has been highly buffed..once in a while I use a little "Mothers" on them to keep them up.

Which bike?

My Greenie has an LED Headlight that the PO "Scud" installed in it, I'm not sure what it is but it works awesome!! Everything is contained inside the headlight bucket.

I know it wont be a fix in every case but I have used these with great success on Aprilias with Ohlins that were weeping..for the money not much to lose. https://sealmate.net/products/seal-mate?variant=1414409453587&currency=USD&utm_medium=product_sync&utm_source=google&utm_content=sag_organic&utm_campaign=sag_organic&gclid=EAIaIQobChMItrrnq6aW6gIVRdbACh2FrwWsEAQYAiABEgIK2_D_BwE

Here are a couple pictures I just took..the Rosso Corsa tank is definitely shaped different than either the 2000 sport or the 2001 Rosso Mandello..those two appear to be the same. Maybe its because their is no provision for a " Chin Pad" on the Corsa...the tank has more of an indentation where I am holding the pen and rises up a bit higher and the "nose seems narrower . My two cents!

I’ll take a couple more pics.. but even sitting next to each other they seem different.. When you sit on the Corsa the tank seems longer and narrower at the top... maybe its just the paint.. I’ll have to take a closer look. Cheers!
