I have not seen the video Pete is referring, but I really do not think Dylan is the same guy. Throttle Co. is local to me and I have been there a number of times. I have had service performed there and my father in law bought his Royal Enfield from them. Dylan, his dad, and Nicole started as sellers of vintage bikes mainly from the 70s and 80s and grew into a Royal Enfield and then Moto Guzzi dealer. They are a really good dealer to have around as they do a lot to spark interest and inclusivity in the motorcycling community. They host weekly bike nights (Fridays), promote other venue's bike nights, host weekly bike mornings with free coffee and donuts (Saturdays), host regular larger bike rides including camping trips, and have fostered an all female local riding club called the Lolitas. Many of the rides they organize are beginner friendly. During the winter months they also host monthly 'moto movie madness' nights, where they set up a projector and show a bike related movie and provide snacks. All at no charge. As said, it would be very surprising to learn that Dylan was going on and on about Christianity in a video. https://throttlecompany.com/?v=2ecd53e541df

I don't know enough about your amp to make a recommendation about a different type of tube to test in your preamp. However, I have hoarded A LOT of vacuum tubes through various estate auctions over the years. So if you settle on a different tube type, let me know and I will check to see if I have some in my collection for you.

I am a fan of the Honda Spray cleaner polish. Works well to shine the metal parts and is decent at cutting through normal amounts of grease and oil. https://www.amazon.com/HONDA-08732-SCP00-Spray-Cleaner-Polish/dp/B004FSEJZA

No, Agostini is a separate company. They make moto guzzi specific exhaust and some other parts. They are actually located just around the corner from the Moto Guzzi location in Mandello del Lario. You can find their parts from a few places here in the US like AF1 racing or GTcycles. Or you can order direct from their site in Italy which may save you a little bit of money, but take longer to ship overseas https://ecommerce.agostinimandello.com/index.php

My v11 had mistrals on it when I bought it from the previous owner. They sound perfect. Loud enough, deep enough, a perfect rumble. For my V7 though I went with Agostinis, also extremely happy with how they sound.

I was using an HJC i10 for quite a while but wanted to move to a modular helmet. So I had purchased a Sena Outrush R. Although more comfortable, the wind noise at high speeds was just way too much. Even with earplugs in. So I went back to the HJC. I do not know how many decibels louder the Outrush helmet was, but I do know it was it was enough to make me go back to my old helmet.

What is the noise level inside the helmet when riding? I am interested in the extra visibility and am in the market for a new helmet. But I am looking for something quiet and comfortable.

Are you referring to the bolt circled in purple or green? (or somewhere else) I did remove the entire shift lever and the bolt circled in purple, cleaned and lubed during the install of the shift extender. I have not made any adjustments to the bolt/mechanism circled in green yet.

I installed the Lucky Phil extender on my V11 yesterday and the shifting feels quite supurb. I do still now and then feel a little resistance in the upshift from 2nd to 3rd. Not often, only like once or twice on a ride. So, sometime this riding season will re-work the shift selector as described and install my recently acquired 'super spring.'

I am having the same but opposite issue. My indicator light on the dash flashes when the signalling left, but not when I signal right. I did replace the bulb with LED. So I think it will be much easier to just switch it back to incandescent instead of performing the electrical surgery needed to have the LEDs work properly.

Hey Mike, do you mind putting up links to the end weights and mirrors you ended up going with? I am also in the market for a similar set up.

Thanks all for the replies. Today I learned something!

The failure of this hose caused a lot of muck and grime to leak out and get all over everything under my tank. It was so bad that I couldn't even see the red of the frame. Everything looked black. My question is, when the hose is functioning properly, where does all the oil go? Is it just getting spit into the frame? Sorry if this is a dumb question...

I replaced my breather hose over the weekend. Getting the old one out was pretty easy with the tank off. Getting the new one in was a struggle. There is just not much room to get your hands in there and get the right leverage to force the hose onto the openings. But after a few choice words and a little determination I got it on securely. One thing I learned is that the MG Cycle breather hose clamp is too small for the upper attachment to the frame. It worked for the lower side to the engine but I had to use the original clamp for the upper end. https://www.mgcycle.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=71&products_id=1186 https://www.mgcycle.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=71&products_id=2785 Old vs. New
