This seems to be the best solution I’ve found so far. https://www.v11lemans.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=20106

PM on your way.

I’m still researching but I believe there are two types of regulators. Shunt types take and excess voltage and turn it into heat, the alternator still puts out full power. The other kind, I think there are series and MOSFETs, will “turn off” the alternator. Reducing load on the entire system. I’m guessing the shunt types are the ones that fail frequently for obvious reasons. Please someone correct me if I got the above wrong. I’m researching as fast as I can.

Which electrosport model is it? I sourced this EnduraLast EDL450 from EuroMotoElectrics (Colorado, USA) for my fourth regulator. I am thinking this is the "OEM-style" replacement? (Not yet installed as it appears my third is yet in service even after 30-35,000 miles.) Have you used a MOSFET regulator yet and if no, why not?

I have two. One is built into my heated grip controller. BikeMaster Heated Grips With LCD Switch https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00NYBZ4CQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_cz7RBbZ6WGJ5R The other one is from Battery Tender. Battery Tender 081-0157 Black Quick Disconnect Plug with LCD Voltage Display https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00DJ5KE9A/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_Xz7RBbRBV4RCE I thought maybe the grip controller was lying to me so I plugged in the other one. Got a similar result.

Corey, any updates? I’d really like to try one of these.

Does anyone make a voltage regulator that actually lasts? I get about 12.1v at idle and normally 13.8v at 4k rpm. Someone said they get 13.8v at idle. Also the Electrosport site recommends this regulator. Why are y’all using a different one? https://www.electrosport.com/collections/street-motorcycles-moto-guzzi-2001-v11-sport/products/esr515-regulator-rectifier-ducati-1-phase-charge-light-output

Made it home, no drama, aside from being tired after a 12 hour ride. Ok, so lots of drama but at least the battery didn’t explode, the lights all work and the bike still runs. The voltage would fluctuate from about 13.8v and then would randomly spike up to the upper 16s. Now I need to read up on voltage regulator options. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

120 miles to get home. Battery was due for a replacement. Hopefully nothing else besides the regulator needs replaced. So far everything seems to be working fine. Lights, heated grips, so crossing my fingers. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Such a shame because it’s a gorgeous day. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Battery is not hot. What will actually happen if 16v goes to the battery? What else might fail?

Misbehaving again. Yes, there is an extra ground to the regulator. Regulator is warm but not burning hot.

Seems to be behaving. You’ll be glad it is when you see the video I’m getting. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I mean 13.8v normally. Using my wisdom I’m still going. Voltage dropped back down. What’s the worse that could happen? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So I decided to head south instead of north. I’ve only been gone an hour and I noticed the voltmeter is at 17v. It’s usually around 14.5v when cruising. Bike seems to be running a little rougher. Common sense would say turn around and go home. Bad voltage regulator? I don’t see anything unusual and the battery isn’t hot. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

They just posted yesterday that they aren’t closing the doors until Oct. 15th. For those of you who voted for me to visit probably haven’t enjoyed Seattle traffic on a Friday. Seattle already has some of the worse traffic in the country and it just gets twice as bad on Fridays.

It would not be the first regret I had to live with. Considering this means fighting a lot ton of Seattle traffic it's going to be a lot sitting on a freeway. I'm glad I did go to Raber's (vintage British parts place) when I got the Greenie because they also recently closed. Considering Dave won't be at MI I'm still questioning the value of stopping by. It'll be 8 hours of freeway riding (and traffic) or I could go ride somewhere fun.

Are the bracket the same left to right? http://www.harpermoto.com/12-support-en.html I can't remember from my footpeg incident. I know the pegs themselves are different.

I don't think anyone is suggesting the touring version of the 1400 in a sporty bike. But we also know that a sporty Guzzi in the future is pure fantasy.

I’m trying to figure out if it’s worth riding up to Seattle on Friday to visit the shop before they close. I’ve never been and have thought about it in the past. My bike originally came from Moto International so it would be it’s last chance to go home. Well, since I’ll probably never take it to Italy. Unless I win the lottery. Then I’m taking all you f*ckers. And the bike. Especially the bike.

Shamelessly stolen image that I further abused with some judicious Photoshopping.

Whoever buys kevinhanna94 bike will need a left side footpeg bracket. So let's help them out and see who has an extra one laying around?

Take the 1400cc engine, add wheels, seat and handlebars. Done!

It sounds like you got the engine stopped before more serious damage occurred. Do you know what caused the oil starvation? Some people have reported just going up a long incline under load can do it. And what happened to the footpegs? Did they get misplaced during the teardown?
