VtwinStorm

Did a quick run, brake works again....will finish the pipes tomorrow. Love this bike!

Gtstallons, Doc, everyone thank you! All I need to do now is mount the new Mistrals which I'll do tomorrow. Love and respect.

Thank you, running on little sleep...loopy

Okay...it's in and aligned with the mounting bracket...so it should be okay? Haven't done brake stuff in years...

I don't feel the "hole" for it to return into???

I'm trying...

Geez...was a simple job...now...man...

Yes, a tiny bit came out

The rod fell out of my rear slave cyl ... how do I get it back in????

The slave, I mean...

Rear brake piston...

Damnit....

Well, piston fell out...how do I get her back in???

Nevermind....got here loose...breaker bar it was! Love this bike!

Hey all, took a tumble in December on the right side, replacing mirrors, engine head crash guards and my rear brake lever...and boy, is it ON! Even after CRC Freeze-off! Brake bar? What am I missing here?

It's subtle, not loud...just right. Love the Guzzi big block on full chat.

Exactly. Lithium batteries aren't some panacea for all of us.

...probably the finest sounding V twin ever built? I love the Ducati desmodue, but I'll be damned if the big Guzzi doesn't match, or at least rival it for sound and character! I'm loving mine more by the day.

Had a Shorai in my Daytona 1200. Electrical system, carbs, plugs, wires, all were on-point. Thought I'd save a few lbs. on a 556lb. bike. Nope. Lithium is useless for my applications. After 2 weeks dancing and praying for it to work, bought a heavy AGM Yuasa. Started 1st time at 46 degrees...with a set of four carbs and a heavy 1200cc to turn over. That lithium battery would have blown my sprag clutch if I kept trying until it decided to start my bike. Clack clack clack...that was my sprag getting destroyed one attempt at a time. That's an engine out job...no thank you! I will say, that lithium battery was a very light paperweight!

I doubt these fit a V11 Sport. I'm not getting burned and wasting money on a lithium battery ever again.

Did that with my Triumph...multiple times. Didn't work. Not throwing away another $200+ to experience the same with my Guzzi. If I lived in Texas or Australia, fine. But not in New England. The tech isn't ready for "the rest of us" in less than warm climes.

Problem is, I live in the cold, New England. I don't live in Italy or Florida. I like to ride when it is chilly outside. I bought a Lithium Iron battery for my Triumph 1200, and it was a disaster. I'd get 3-5 cranks from cold, and almost always..."clack clack clack" of the sprag clutch. Installed a new Yuasa AGM, fires right up, first time, every time. Until I get cold start capability, I'm not switching.

It worked. Thank you, @docc!!! Battery light started flickering under 2k RPM on the way home, so now I have to figure that out...hmmm.....

No problem. Will give that a try...

I love you, Docc. Will try that @2am before I depart @430am...fingers crossed!
