Course thread? 1.75 pitch? Step one is to see if I can steal one off the 850-T... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That is very generous. Before you do that can you tell me the dimensions of the bolt? I can’t exactly take out the other one to measure it. If I can’t readily find one locally I’ll take you up on your offer.

No frame flex that I could tell. There is a tiny bit of vibration but let’s be real, it’s a Guzzi.

That one was discussed on WG recently. Consensus is that it's a 2002 Red-Grey LeMans that somehow got a Nero Corsa tank and tail. I got confused by the Lemans side panel. This is one reason to stay away from eBay for bikes. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Why do you think he has a sweet T3? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Oh, man . . . we all resemble that remark! Why do you think you guys can’t get rid of me?!??! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

We’re about a year apart so not that little. I think the first bike we got together was a BSA 441. Ironically in the deal for the GS he’ll get theBSA back too. So we got into the bikes together. It’s like a support group gone all wrong. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ok, it sounds like my brother has to have a V11Sport now. Apparently I’ve been gushing too much. He doesn’t know exactly which one but I want him to get something like a Lemans. Anyone on the east coast (mid-Atlantic specifically) been thinking about giving up one of their babies? He’s going to soon come into a 95 R1100GS that could be used to trade or he can easily sell it. I’ll be on the east coast starting next week so I’m happy to enable this Guzzi itch of his.

Is it still available?

That's really not it.

I did not curate the list. I have free time but not that much free time! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So, those videos are certainly not v11 specific. That could get really confusing. Maybe the one on Mike's LeMans 1000 is the closest? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ApQe8s2Xowk No but they aren’t really all that different. 2V is 2V. What is so different? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I usually wait for Kiwi Roy to show up and his electrical voodoo to help.

Rose is UK for Heim or Rod End Bearing/Joints.

Going out on a limb here but... there's a short somewhere.

Wow.

This might get a better audience on Wild Goose.

Tapatalk seems to have fixed the Done button. I sent them an email of the photo link issue. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

They are questionable in the photos but quite striking in person. I had the same thoughts until I saw it in flesh. It’s also hard to get a V11 Sport to look good in pictures. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ban him!

I suspect the Centauro is more of an acquired taste that the V11 Sport.

The real answer is to find one and ride it. You’ll know immediately if it’s the bike for you. Hmm, but then again you bought a ‘Busa... interestingly enough it stole the tail section from a V11 Sport.
