If it is these, they are a special item, not obtainable somewhere else.

After the first batch Breva 1100 with wrong bearings, all other not so early Carc do not have a problem there. Just leave it together.

You mean the steering head bearing? Koyo 32907JR-3. Since the same size is used in all modern Aprilias there is some choice PS: I see I missed Pete's post, where do you see something on the Dynotec website about a bearing? They don't do price lists I think. They are a tuning/special builder.

There are two or 3 types v11 Marzocchi forks, Andreani has cartridges for one type, I think the black ones with 40mm legs. But they sell them as for all years what is wrong. Lucky Phil has put a lot of time in this. I'm sure he documented some here.

Al, after all those Guzzi years, you have never found out that the USA gets bikes one year late? The le mans was delivered here in 2001, I had one too, where I got my gearbox of for the Daytona. It's not only Guzzi that come late to the USA, Aprilia too.

So I gave it to Piaggio, can't afford the time and money to fight it. Web site is now at http://www.minnaert.net

I got the layers letter too, for fastguzzi.nl

No I have always thought the v11 have 40mm offset. But it can be that they put NOS 1100sport I clamps in the first 2000. In the manuals I know they are 40mm.

The red frame v11 sport (KR) got some bad reviews in Germany and other places, because not as other old Guzzis, it wasn't so stable. They were delivered with 170 wide tire on 4,5", what is a to wide tire for the rim. And that makes the tire shape to pointy. German tuner Dynotec made a corrected version of the first gen V11 sport, other offset triple clamps were part of it. But in Italy, Aprilia just owned Moto Guzzi, and didn't want the bad publicity so they took drastic measures. The second generation(KS) got a wide tire rear, the popular 180/55 on a 5,5"rim. The area between swingarm and gearbox got a extra steel rods to make it stiffer. with extension to the engine crank case. The front engine mount was reinforced. And the steeringhead was extended to have more wheelbase. The third generation(KT) kept same geometry but got optical tweaks and the 43mm forks where this subject is about. Not all changes occurred at the same time, first mount old stock before making new. It has been always the same. The Dynotec v11 http://www.dynotec.de/presse/DynotecV11_2000MO.html

PULL the swingarm, take the shaft off, and grease it on your desk. And before and after greasing you feel if the ends rotate without sour spots. That is the only way to be sure that all is right.

it was usable. But was for another idea that never finished.

And now you want it :-)

I see I was wrong on the rubbers, messed up with daytona rs file.
