fotoguzzi

accept you don't have a crank sensor, #7 ...cam sensor only on the later ECU.

find an upholstery shop and get their advice, they can probably pop a corner off to look inside . best to get some expert advice. Once you pull it off yourself it might not be that easy to fix.. from the pic, it's not that bad and I'd just leave it as is.. give it character.

Suede? that's what to brochure called it.

got a link?

Pretty sure that's all Guzzi offered and it covers all the 02-07 spine frames. Do you have Guzziology? that book might detail any differences.

2 years on.. still Dylan, now SunRa, Rasaan Roland Kirk, Zappa, Tinariwen, Ali Farka Toure.

just a note, Bob Dylan Bootleg 13 was released about 2 weeks ago.. covers the Jesus years '79-81, all recordings from live shows. Pretty good.. some nice bluesy organ a great guitar players (Carlos Santana, Fred Tackett —) some wonderful gospel singers, and the great Jim Keltner on drums.

Have you put on Wildguzzi? I will.

there's also this one nearby, https://minneapolis.craigslist.org/wsh/mcy/d/2003-moto-guzzi-v11-cafe/6358296658.html I'm not too jazzed about the price and it looks half painted with the black in front and red back.. does that look like stock colors for a '03 Sport?

"the Golden Spruce".. nothing to do with motors tho.

Riding the Edge, Dave Barr rode a clapped out 72 Harley 83,000 miles RTW with two artificial legs.. definition of Iron Man. https://www.horizonsunlimited.com/davebarr/

might need a small adjustment to the "trim", you need software to do that.

no but he offered a test ride on Saturday. still I don't trust the mileage so keep looking, Nero Corsa anyone?

Looked a little ratty in person. and like it was ridden hard.. I don't believe/trust the mileage either, the motor slightly dirty with oil. they should have tried to clean it up. I won't judge if the breather works that way but it sure looks funky. had bar risers that were slightly tweaked, maybe a tip over. rim painted and it's flaking off..duct tape around the headlight ring.. salesman says he's friends with the owner who was not the original owner. so at least 2 owners..again skeptical of the mileage. He doesn't have the airbox or any other pieces. It did have a roper plate ! glad I looked but not for me..

I better get over to St Paul and look it over.

this one looks like the header crossover was eliminated? is that an Ohlins shock? what mufflers are on it? https://minneapolis.craigslist.org/wsh/mcd/d/2004-moto-guzzi-ballabio-v11/6339035798.html

I know most if not all the positives of a V11 but what are the con's of a 2004 Moto Guzzi Ballabio? I like the bars over clip ons to start, not too jazzed about the fairing way out front but could live with it. this one no where near as pretty as the 2002 red Lemans I had but I could live with it. one negative I've heard of is the ITI(?)gauges..

apparently written in 2000 since he rode a 2000 V11 sport and does not mention the Lemans version at all.. plus he called it "new".

B&W Sport for me too but I'd always worry when the dash would poop out and leave me stranded.. this one f/s near me, https://minneapolis.craigslist.org/ank/mcy/d/moto-guzzi-1200-sport/6294352560.html hoping to find a V11 Nero Corsa someday instead. or possibly this, XB9SX I miss my Uly more than my Lemans. https://minneapolis.craigslist.org/dak/mcy/d/buell-xb9sx-2009/6272830913.html

Das izz zee plan. Just one more reason to ride a Moto Guzzi..

I would never use such a thing.. get yourself the free Guzzidiag software and learn how to set up your V11 right with out add on doodads.

LOL, eternal patience required..
