I don't know the 'used car parts' environment in Belgium, but here in the US these Omron relays are under the hood of every Jeep in the junkyard, can be had by the dozens for dollars.

I'll be sure to let you know when I'm there, I have a friend in Cut and Shoot... lol and another in Tyler. Coffee's on me.

No, I'm just about cleared of the debris from rebuilding the engine in my truck- the lift is covered with tools, parts, and fasteners. May get it up Sunday, and fit the Roper Plate to be sure the new source is accurate. I'm sure they are but don't want to send a plate out that I haven't verified the fit. The transmission is still in Ohio, I'll probably see that in May. I haven't decided whether to strip it to the last bolt or not... have to get closer to decide. The paint needs love, and if the bodywork gets new makeup the whole thing probably should.

Mine just came in the mail. 98% probability I'll be on my '04 BMW GSA. 1% probability each of being on the '05 BMW RT or the '00 MG V11. Depending on timing and availability, maybe 2 if my kid rides along. The plan is to come from East to West, and spend a week or two doing nothing but hitting the stops. Probably going to be more in the hot part of the year, June-ish. The GSA lives in El Paso and it's currently in Michigan. I have a lot of logistics to sort out lol

No turning back now.

Well, I will; of course any Guzzi can use them, but I'm not at all sure the... RWB flag bearing brands are reserving the spaces they take. OH then there's that one ugly duckling (Gosling) that only has the Eagle on the front.

It really depends on the bike, doesn't it? The sport has a 4-posted nut on the front axle. 10mm wrench, and a 4" adjustable that opens to about 14mm. Tiny flat for the idle air adjustments (no, shouldn't be fooling with them) battery tire pump and plug kit. A cheap set of metric allens. Seat, tank, etc. is all allen on this one. Whilst rebuilding the V11 I'll have to make note about tools, but I expect it'll be a couple seasons before something falls off.

Ok, I can't do facebook on my PC, and can't share from my phone; There's a guy on FB moto guzzi sport 1100 group who is making tail covers in both fiberglass and carbon fiber- I think he's still taking orders. Lostrego Guzzi I don't see these particular items on his website, just in the FB group.

In! I booked 3 garage spaces because, well, the neighborhood has been getting crowded the past couple years.

Can you hear the fuel squirting back into the tank while priming? on my 'Sport I can tell when it's properly primed. If you can hear fuel returning- try it with the cap open to make it easier to hear- then suspect that the cranking battery voltage has dropped below ~10v and the ignition module isn't active.

Here in FL, nobody cares what you do with historic/antique tagged vehicles. Next time I have to replace a plate it will be vintage; my only vehicles that don't qualify are my '04 Yukon and this accidental '05 BMW RT. If I take a Moto Guzzi, or my '68 Charger anywhere including the grocery store, it's an automatic car show because inevitably I end up talking to someone. If I'm driving up the boulevard, it's a parade; FL statute doesn't include a definition for 'parade', nor requires some sanction for it. Statute requires permitting for parades that interfere with traffic or normal business. For plate covers, paints, etc. that are intended to defeat reading, either by eye or technology, they are strictly forbidden though I don't personally know anyone who's been cited for it. The plate readers on the squad cars are so good it probably doesn't matter anyway.

'Tacky' might be how they stay put.

A friend has one. Concur, there is no good angle. Only the Witch's Magic Mirror can love this one.

Somehow this reminded me of pulling the 'Sport into a parking lot full of new sportbikes.

Very little, was the point lol If it fits, it sits. If not, then the 'Sport will continue on with it's dirty socks and the V11 will get the Staintune, unless a cheap alternative shows up beforehand.

Since it's the middle of winter for many here, and I have an entire motorcycle to assemble from baskets, I thought I'd feed the bears. It came with afak all the parts except exhaust cans...now we get to the quibbles. The stock crossover has had whatever is inside it trying to get outside it. I might just cut it open to see what's in there, and have it welded back shut, but I know me and that won't last forever even if successful. I have a complete Staintune system in the box on the shelf... but this bike isn't yet pretty enough to deserve that. Quibbles; will 1100 Sport stock cans fit the V11 stock crossover? Will a Staintune V11 system fit a 1100 Sport-i? Mistral crossovers are different for these two bikes, and I'm wondering about the space under the transmission, whether either can be used for the unintended fitup, or both, or neither. Of course I'll be able to answer all these questions when I get the bike on the lift and the transmission back in hand, but I'm tired of cleaning the garage and doing a little evening Navel-gazing.

It's the leaves. To most of the world it looks like the end of riding season, but here in S. FL. it's just the Live Oaks pushing off the old leaves with new, and the massive amount of pollen that comes with it. That's only 2 days worth.

I had mine rebuilt at the local WP service center- literally 15 minutes away- for a couple hundred bucks. Well worth the cost, I figure, unless you really have to do it yourself. Even so, you can get parts through them. https://www.wp-suspension.com/autorisierte-zentren/

From Newsweek; 'The search effort continues to find the bodies of the three soldiers as well as the remaining passengers of American Airlines Flight 5342, of which around 20 remain missing at this time.' Has anyone here ever flown in a Blackhawk and familiar with pilot and passenger restraint systems? I still smell tin foil

It's not impossible that KTM has the same monkey on their back that other companies in the U.S. endure- or die from- Bane Capital in the U.S. stacks the board of directors with insiders who 'make poor decisions' while the big player shorts the stock and bleeds the company dry. Of course, nobody wants to put their head on the block by calling spades spades.

There will be if I can't find one.

My initial order is 2, if they're good one goes in mine and you get the other one. By then I should know whether there's more interest offstage.

I've just ordered plates from a new supplier, when I recieve the samples I'll know if they're as good as in the past. I think they will be, based on my last business with them, and may well be less expensive, too. I can order singles, or any quantity- of course they're far less expensive when ordering more. Anyone waiting in the wings, raise your hands.
