  1. That fairing makes me want to cry. Looks like a R90S or a replica of one. “German styling”
  2. Radomly off the internet: http://www.fuelinjectorspecialists.com http://www.rcfuelinjection.com/Store/c/fuel-injector-cleaning I had the injectors on my Corvette services a while ago, it wasn’t expensive. And there are 8 of those! $65 isn’t horrible for two but again the guy doesn’t seem enthusiastic about it. I’m sure he charges those poor Mercedes owners twice that much and they’re happy. Has there not been a good injector service discussion around here yet?
  3. $65 for two is a bit steep for most Guzzi owners. I don’t doubt the quality of the service but the apprehension suggests there might be better options. $20 is about the going rate per injector from some places and it’s not a bad idea to get it done. Unbalanced injectors could definitely cause issues.
  4. Screamin’ Chicken for lunch. The bike screams too. Well, more like it growls. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  5. So now you know how the Norton owners feel. Over 100 lbs lighter and a hoot to ride. That being said there are many times when the V11 can’t be beat. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  6. Uh oh. Turning into a Norton thread. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  7. I need to see more pictures of that Norton.
  8. I wasn’t on my V11 today as it’s 3000 miles away instead I took a spin on this thing to get some North Carolina BBQ. I’m going to be so glad to get home because I’ve eaten way too much and I miss my bike. Although the Norton is fun too. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  9. I told my brother to sell his soul for that one. Plus it’s close. It’s just money!
  10. What part of the world are you located? Perhaps someone has some cables you can borrow.
  11. TPS is extremely touchy. Check and recheck. Then check again. The other thing to check is the valve clearances. That would cause the vacuum to disappear on your gauge.
  12. Keep looking. Guaranteed that the headlight and bucket was used on multiple bikes and not necessarily just Moto Guzzi. I think Aprillia was involved on your bike so start looking at Aprillia bikes and their parts. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  13. Now that's a proper Guzzi!
  14. We would never make such a stereotype... I'm surprised by the dislike for Ohio. The backroads in southern Ohio coming into the Mid-Ohio Racetrack are pretty nice. It's northern Ohio that is boring.
  15. As most (some) of you know the front foot pegs are the same as on the Ducati Monster. I ran across a couple interesting options that might help someone. I think these will fit but be sure to do more research. First are rotatable pegs which give you 12 positions. Certainly would be helpful if you need a variety of positions. https://m.ebay.com/itm/Billet-Adjustable-Riser-Foot-Pegs-Ducati-Monster-696-796-08-09-10-11-12-13/350822338378?hash=item51aea40f4a:g:UKgAAOSw5VtaBW51 Next are “risers” but I think they lower your foot. I’ve seen both 25mm and 40mm options. There are front and rears so check carefully. https://m.ebay.com/itm/For-Ducati-Monster-600-620-Dark-25mm-Riser-CNC-Billet-Front-Footpegs/382399109953?fits=Make%3ADucati%7CModel%3AMonster+600&hash=item5908c35b41:m:mX1LLBKc0II0i4adYwHNVrA&var=651171402661 Again I have not tried these but they might be a lower cost option than some of the traditional V11 parts. For about $50 someone might want to try them and report back.
  16. Meanwhile some people use GPS.
  17. Do you have one for just Mistral cans, no other changes?
  18. It doesn’t sound like a map issue. If you don’t follow the steps exactly I seem to remember that you can adjust the CO Trim.
  19. Pretty sure the request isn’t for a picture of the cans...
  20. Well, we did see a Lemans but didn’t sit on it. But my brother’s lust for a V11 hasn’t waned.
  21. Don’t listen to Docc. Fly n’ Ride! Change the stuff when you get home.
  22. I’ve never heard of the 950S.
  23. Always get the best bike you can afford from the best person you can find. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  24. Many of my bikes have started out as parts, models or even pictures as inspirations. Best thing to do if you know which bike you want is to start a new thread. It worked for me! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
