Sump flange for early V11 engines. May also fit other years as part number is specific for the paint variant. MSRP $315 USD make an offer.

Harper's has the "bumper" pads but not the metal mounting "plates". I think that I can make the plates using the pads as templates.

Upon making inquiry with AF1 Racing, a Texas motorcycle dealership very conversant on things Moto Guzzi, they provided me with a copy of the attached OEM parts fiche which provides the information that I referenced above. Clearly, there are parts that I need to acquire. I provide this for the forum's information.

Having just received a bare OEM luggage rack for my Centauro, and having received no mounting hardware along with it, I am stymied about the mounting process. It seems that either the missing hardware is a crucial component of the unit, or that this unit is not correct for my Centauro. Can someone illuminate this conundrum for me as I cannot find anything at the usual interweb resources.
-
Perfect! Thank you. This is exactly what I was looking for. I have found it available through a Canadian distributor and have ordered it through the local retailer. I'll post pictures of the fitment.
-
It's the " vintage" thing that appears to be the problem. Do you know if the Tuono one would fit?
-
Tom, thanks for the post in the SW-Motech thread, however, it seems to not show there.
It began:
Here's what I ordered, fitment proper and works with the big 15-22L SW MOTECH tank bag. Been in use now about 4 years with no issues. (Doubt it will... Go to this Post I would appreciate you forwarding me the rest of the post.

SW-MOTECH quick-lock EVO Bottom Tank Ring (Aprillia 6 screw) anuf. # TRT.00.640.17500.
This tank ring works on 2003 and later V11 LeMans. Can't vouch for prior years due to chin pad interference. (Type 175 EVO) is the Twisted Throttle designation.
I use the very large SW-MOTECH EVO Trial QUICK-LOCK Tank Bag | 15-22L . It sits a bit high and back but makes for a good forward leaning rest (however, I do have pretty significant handlebar risers on my bike which faciltates body positioning for comfort.

Indeed, but they have nothing in a tank mount ring that is undrilled, so I have ordered a tail bag mount which I will cut to fit, I hope.🤪
-
As noted by others, Curtis was responsive to the phone call, once he was reached. Issue resolved!
-
I have a V11 upper sump half if you decide to go in that direction.
-
As the Caruso oil pump/gear mod is not yet available and the ETA is uncertain, I would like to find information on the V11 chain drive oil pump mod. Can someone point me to detailed instructions on the Centauro oil pump "to chain drive" conversion?
-
SW-MOTEC was excellent in terms of speed of response, even if that response was disappointing.
-
I am looking to fit a SW-Motech tank bag to my 1998 MG Centauro but they do not list a mounting ring that fits. Apparently, the fuel filler ring is shared with the V11. I wonder whether anyone here has found a mounting ring that fit their V11?
-
Well, here's a challenge for y'all! I'm looking to mount an SW-Motec tank bag on my Centauro. Of course the Motec website does not list the Centauro or even the V11 models. The earliest (and only) MG that they list is the '05-'23 Breva 750. Does anyone here know whether the Breva, or any other motorcycle listed by Motec, has the same gas filler ring 6 bolt pattern as the Centauro?

What is going on with Harper Moto these days? I had placed an order of over $100 on August 12 and haven't received it yet. Worse, I have emailed them and they are not responding. I have telephoned Curtis, was told he would call back... crickets! This isn't the service that I had been used to perviously! Anybody know what's up?
