  1. Cheaper. Nice web site chooser too. https://www.highflowfuel.com/ag-1313565.1313653.1315228.1317411.1313567-motorcycle-scooter-1997-moto-guzzi-1100-sport-inj-bj-efi.html
  2. Any 12vdc pump that delivers correct volume and pressure will work. It seems that somewhere I saw that particular Quantum pump listed as a direct replacement. That's the one I was thinking of ordering. I'll have to research specifications and warranty.
  3. Alas. Somewhere in the ~3TB of crap I've collected over ten years and 3 computers is a vid of the first startup, but I never have made a proper one of the Charger. I only have a crap one of the 1100 by the phone, at idle. The car is trapped in the garage by my Son's travel trailer at the moment, but I'll get out the GoPro for the bike and give the car a snort, it should be started and warmed up anyway.
  4. Painful. I don't understand the question? What I mean by ride-along is, if I'm passing through your area and you have some nice riding roads, or just want to put in some miles towards my next destination, that'd be cool.
  5. I'm planning a very long trip this summer, if I prove I can stay on the bike long enough- so far so good. I don't have a schedule yet, but If you're near the route and might like to have lunch or a ride-along, pin yourself in Yellow on the map. I'll be staying West, FL/Dallas/OK/CO/MT/WA then returning down the coast through the SW. http://j.mp/2DMOWhB
  6. My new-to-me '97 1100 Sport i has ~21k miles on it. I've been through all the electrics, replaced the cam sensor, TPS, remade connections and replaced all the relays. New hoses through the entire fuel system. Everything seems fine. Except for that one single time, in the driveway after a cleaning when the pump didn't start, and a light whack with a screwdriver handle set it going. Now I'm nervous, and I'll likely just replace the pump. It's 20 years old, even though low mileage and is out front in the air. What's the group experience with external pump life?

  11. Sooo... Docc picked this out of my photos. I've owned it since I was 18. Found it in Alabama in front of a trailer park for $300 in 1980. Drove it home to Michigan with no brakes to speak of. Drove it 'ratty muscle car' style for decades, finally gave it the love it deserves in 2011 and did two Hot Rod Power Tours in it.
  12. I'll have to measure the wire, source it, unwind the coil and count turns then re-wind it and solder it in place. Pretty fine work. My broken wire was the one from the inside of the coil, broke right close to the coil wrap where it peeks out the side. Had it been the outside wire I'd have given up one turn and had plenty to work with.
  13. Dan Stern (linked above) supplied the bulb and ceramic lamp plug, which will not melt or distort from the additional heat. FWIW I only use the high beam at night, with no oncoming traffic so use is limited to cooler running. Also, adding relays increases voltage which reduces current on the plug.
  14. I installed a 100/55 H4 in the LM 1000, but upgraded the socket, wiring, added relays for H&L beams, and the lens is actually glass. It's positively magnificent. I'm not so happy with the '97 Sport, the lens is plastic, getting hazy, and I'm not confident a 100w high beam won't injure it. I'll be looking into changing the lamp assembly, possibly to the same one as the '85 LM.

  23. And for "Wire Rope", like our throttle cables? NO! Wire rope like cables on cranes and winches. The stuff is thick and heavy so it won't fling off, and sticks like heck.
