the v11 ohlins and aprilia ohlins forks have the same mounting for the fender. The radial brakes aprilia/ohlins forks have a bit different mounting, but their fender can be made to fit. I had a rsv fender on my v11 ohlins forks. It does protect the legs better from dirt

Here they would call it an environmental disaster But it's fun looking at the pages http://www.motorcycle-recycle-center.com

That looks like a bike where you throw a lot of money in. You can do the same with each bike, but a guzzi keeps running without large amounts. You might not believe after reading this forum:-)

Seen in italy, monza, forks from rsv factory:

the rear wheel is no gain over a v11 wheel, not lighter, and once fittet you don't see a difference, if there is one, I think they are the same almost. The front wheel is only interesting if you want the brakes, but the brakes&caliper aren't with it, so first see if you can get them, and for what price. It might be expensive.

Mike, it's hard to tell from a distance what is normal. I think that you have a sport 1100i engine, with it's flywheel. So yes the 5 speed is a slow shifter. What I know is that Dynotec, if they have the budget, change a lot in the gearbox. Parts from different years of guzzi boxes are mixed and matched, to give the right cocktail. I have driven( one time) a daytona with 5 speed dynotec box, that was very smooth. Miles away from my original.

it's called va 10 and not from rotax. It was a development that was stopped at the factory Mojoli enginering had to do with it: http://www.guzzisti.it/page_builder.php?fi...mojoli_body.htm

I just got the pb magazine. 4 pages guzzilla. I can scan it for the ones where it's not in the shops.

I see you can get a visa as "master fisher" or swimming coach and 23 other pages with occupations, look here: http://www.immi.gov.au/allforms/pdf/1121i.pdf but you have to be in before that youre 45 yeears old. So i have 8 month left.

Are you guys sure its a plastic? From what I remember the one on my scura was heavy, so I had the idea it was from steel.

vyrus is a tesi without full fairing. some guys got the tesi leftovers when the factory went down, and started with that. Not bad, but a mgs01 wins the race:-), in italy at least.

Mike, I can't see where 4 valves aren't allowed, displacement isn't limited on 2 cylinder bikes. Also wieght to power might fit: if it's 120 hp rearwheel, 480 lbs are allowed. 480 lbs = 218 kilogram shouldn't be to far from that. I don't see why an mgs01 can't compete. If it has to much power for the weight, stick some torque cams in.

just an idea, why not weld it on one side? One problem less. But maybe the factory feared that the pipes would crack to soon. They made a one piece on the le mans 850. I have a pair v11 pipes with front crossover, bought used. It felt very floppy, but when I realy thightend it, it's as solid as a rock.

We once had a television show where a wife complained that her man was always busy with his mercedes. Then the presentor asked the man: what dou you love more your wife or the mercdes, he answerd: the mercedes. That was the end of a wedding.

The 2003 frame is longer, and that is at the steeringhead where they added the steel, so that gives extra tankclearance. Plus the 2003 has the in tank pump, and different to, so might be changed a bit, but it looks the same shape/size.

Well, to make it clear: the swallower is a project from the netherlands, I know the guys, and asked for pictures to put on my website, because I like what they are doing. Why did they make it? it allowed changing gears easy each race, the unsprung weight is lower. The hossak front forks make it a real different bike to drive. I don't think rotating mass from the shaft makes a difference there.

kind of boring isn't it? Part from the fun of owning my bike is making it the way I like it. I wouldn't do that with a MV

come on nogbad, now I want to see a picture of yours in her new clothes you like so much.

The F4 have what I call an finished design. They are complete, nothing what you can attach as aftermarket will make it look better. Not so with certain guzzi's

Automotive News / December 27, 2005 - 8:00 am KUALA LUMPUR -- Malaysia's state-controlled carmaker, Proton Holdings, said on Tuesday it has agreed to sell its 58 percent stake in Italian motorcycle maker MV Agusta to Italy's GEVI SpA for one euro. Under the deal, the purchaser will assume restructured frozen debts totaling 106.94 million euros ($126.2 million) and working capital requirements of 32.50 million euros, Proton said in a statement. "The proposed disposal is consistent with Proton's direction of divesting non-core assets," it said. Proton rescued Agusta a year ago by pumping 70 million euros into the struggling firm, allowing it to pay off its debts, but the move into motorbikes surprised many investors. Proton reported a net loss of 154.3 million ringgit ($40.8 million) for its fiscal second quarter ended on Sept. 30, hurt by bad-debt charges related to Agusta.

Proton is selling a 57.5% stake in MV Agusta FOR A NOMINAL SUM OF 1 EURO, you get the depts with the factory:-)

I had Stax electrostatics before these speakers, so hav an idea what the esl 57/63 do. The big Apogee system, ( the first they made) is in my mind, driven at that time with 6 Jadis monoamps. Maybe the best speakers I have ever heard. Apogee doesn't exist anymore. Nice when you have foil problems:-)

Martin, the amp is a quad 405, selfbuild 25 years ago. This one has enough power, but maybe another xmas it will be replaced with a nice big tube amp, not for power but sonic qualities.

well, I have the cheapest they make. I do have a self made big subwoofer in the corner, so it's going low too. For dealers in the usa: http://www.sumikoaudio.net/
