  1. There is definitely not enough meat on the end for anything. I'll get better pictures later. The size and shape is otherwise spot on. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  2. I'm always hesitant to break out a hammer. But in this case it was the only way to push the pin past the spring. If you're using these Monster pegs you'll want to use the Guzzi pin and spring. The pin is longer on the Monster. I also had to lightly sand the pegs so it would rotate smoothly. That and a touch of white lithium grease. Now it works perfectly. I'm not disappointed with a little fettling for a $10 set! Monster Guzzi I'll get to the other side later. Probably when I have the bike up on the lift to get the front wheel off.

  3. I got the foot pegs today. Any tips on getting the spring on? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  4. While I won't be able to ride the V11 to Barber this year it would still be cool to meet some folks if you show up. I know it's early but it's also a good opportunity to prod people who haven't been before. Plus the new extension is now open so there is now even more unbelievable bikes to see! http://www.barbermuseum.org/events/barber-vintage-festival/ So who's going this year?
  5. looks Great uuu. welcome to the forum I want red heads even more after seeing this one. Considering how scraped up my one valve cover is I can't make it worse.
  6. The bump in the CO Trim brought back the peppy. [emoji16] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  7. For us to see the VFR you'll need to post pictures first. [emoji41] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  8. It looks like your inbox is full? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  9. I'm not sure how it doesn't copy/paste but I'll send you a PM. I assume I can't post your notes when I get it? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  10. Is that the one in Spokane? 1000 miles? Fly and ride? I hear people do that... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  11. When I got home I bumped the CO Trim up to 15. I also bumped the idle up to 1100. Keep in mind at 1100 my charging light is off. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  12. On the way home from work I headed out to wine country. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  13. I couldn't have done it without the great people on the forum! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  14. Hey, he knew how to drive that truck fast! Actually it was in the parking lot.
  15. I had lunch with my buddy, Mike. He's got a lovely 2014 Thruxton (amongst other bikes...) It was a lovely ride into the countryside. Best to get those rides in because the farmlands are quickly disappearing. Bit of a shocker today, we haven't had a day above 70˚ in 2017 (global warming!) and today it's going to be 80˚ F+. Not use to it!
  16. I'd rather be riding than idling!
  17. I will say that with Italians bikes sometime you don't question why they did something and you just have to correct it.
  18. When I was doing the CO Trim adjustment it clearly says in one step to use the Kill Button. Otherwise I'm using the ignition switch, as instructed.
  19. It's not that we want to... but we really can't deny that you have a red frame. It's just that the other colors don't clash properly with the red like the green does.
  20. According to the vacuum gauges the idle was balanced. Same at 3k rpm. It feels less peppy. 1050 is what the books says. 1200-1500 is way too high for me. Why does it need to be that high? Where do you like the idle?
  21. Have you documented the process for the speed sensor? It sounds easy but remember not everyone is use to working with those parts.
  22. Ouch, I hope you were wearing enough gear. Bike parts can be replaced but body parts are more difficult. The turn signal lens is only $2 and an entire assembly is about $20 (well, I don't know how much they will be over there). I can't believe how much damage the head guard took.
  23. I don't like the way it running. I suspect I need to up the CO Trim. Also what do the air bypass screws do and why is it suggested to set them at one turn out?
  24. No error codes. Ran the CO Trim adjustment again this time pausing for a while after the kill switch step. That may have done it as it staying at 0. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
