meet the local millennials.

I like your VFR and have been watching some f/s on CL.. but please don't chrome the wheels on your V11.. If I remember mine right about the only thing chrome on it was the Speedo/Tach bezels..(and pipes) A Leman's or Sport doesn't need any chrome..if you need it, add chrome to your XR..

champagne red? got pics?

If you mean an H pipe from a Tonti frame Guzzi? that would never fit.. Mistral did make a crossover similar to the Stucci for v11's. maybe you could get a full Staintune exhaust down there?

cowSpace, wish I could read that text.. interesting.

yeah, that motor likes to rev, shift above 4k preferable 5.5 or higher.. you don't ride it like a Harley lugging in the low RPM's. it's a dry clutch so might feel different to you just make sure it shifts good, the 6 speed is wonderful.. check the sidestand mount for any damage, it can take out the sump in a spill, also look at the frame to motor connection on the front down tubes, if crashed or tipped hard it can crack the engine case.. I wonder if the drive shaft has ever been lubed? it's a chore to get at the front one, there are 3 zirk fittings to lube. the instruments are week point made with a lot of plastic..is the odometer working?

sneeze/hiccup on my 02 (no front balance pipe) got solved with a Mistral crossover .. do you still have the stock X-over?

probably have an answer in 30 minutes if you post over at wildguzzi.com It's been 10 years or so since I did that job, I think you just yank them off but don't trust me on that.

ebay will give you a value, if you use a reserve you won't have to sell for what you consider too low.. listing a vehicle is flat rate on ebay (was $65. for a motorcycle) and you get that refunded if it doesn't sell. there is not a percentage charge if sold, just the listing fee. the idea of implanting a a Nevada 750 would be cool, or could you fit all the body work to a newer SB like the Stone? Oh and Jumcc, good job digging up a 9 year old thread, this board rocks!

I think that fairing came on some Tonti frame Guzzi like the 1100 Titanium, and theres this across the pond. http://gutsibits.co.uk/pr/TheShop/index.php?f=e&Shnew=&Model=4&ModelName=Cali+3&Cat=FAA&CatName=Fairings+and+Screens&Sort=TitleDesc

Yikes! sticker shock.. and it's ugly.. what ill you do with it, mount a big box?

they are loud

what he said, find the trim tabs and see what it's set at, there's a pretty wide variety in settings like -138 to +138 or something, I don't really remember much, maybe +20 was good for my V11..

anti seize..

perfectly stated.. you need gorilla arms to fit the sport 1100, 99-01 early red frame was twitchy as stated, it surprised me when I rode one while owning an 02.. the 02 and on were the perfect all day ride..with a little personal touch like bar risers.. some like lowering the pegs..

the 1100 Sport has the clunky 5 speed.. the v11 Sport/LeMans has a sweet 6 speed.. both have 1064cc motor.. CPU also different.

I have used the Harley TPS in both a V11 Lemans and Bassa.. I highly doubt you could tell any difference WHEN RIDING which TPS is installed. for me it was a no brainer $42 vs $300+

this one NFS, I tried to get it but he won't let go.. HIGH miles but a good one.. dig that Quat D muffler..

That looks like a Sport not a Lemans.

back in the day there was a guy making simple plastic panels that fit in the frame to plug the vital areas and then you could just remove the hugger. I did just that.

wish I had a real table lift.. [/u rl]

check the mounts where the front frame down tubes bolt to engine for cracks if it was crashed.. also where the kick stand mounts to sump spacer.

on my Guzzi's I never saw anything that needed cleaning inside the TB's.. on our Mazda Tribute yea, the butterfly got all gummed up and made the throttle pedal hard to push.. a rag and carb cleaner is all I used.

Just for kicks here's another video from the I cycle derby this year.. disclaimer: I'm not involved with this hooliganism in anyway.
