you have a square fin big block.. the round fin is from the past, it's about the shape of the cylinder barrels cooling fins. the small block is the 750 in current bikes like the modern V7. there was a BB 750 in the 1970's like the V7 Sport.

you host your photos on line somewhere like Smugmug then link the pic by pasting the code.. on smugmug calle dthe BBcode. dream bike I already had and sold in a moment of weakness.. XB12 XT,

I'll be here,

looks gold to me..

all battery tenders are not equal.. if it's sat on trickle for 4 years , suspicious.. get a load test but I don't think the bike would run right at all if battery shot. more likely the magnets in starter have come unglued.. I hear they can be repaired.

I thought all CARC bikes are discontinued?

I used nail polish

Wow, good to see V11Lemans.com is alive and well.. lots of posts here in just one day and offers to share tools.. that's all great.. your leak, Bummer.. I'm less keen to get another V11 now tho and will inspect any prospects carefully.. wish I could get this one.. but don't have the dollars.. https://rmn.craigslist.org/mcy/5791179089.html

Nice pics! I have a stash but for the young folks (if there are any here) where do you find 35mm film.. or from the kids here, "what's film?"

a long time ago I used the Harley TPS ($40.00us) on both my spine frame and Cal EV/Bassa.. they were a slightly different MM part # but I could not feel any difference or notice anything wrong on VDST.. it worked fine just like the stock part that was way over $200. back then..

If you haven't already, add a ground wire from regulator to block.. the stock ground now goes thru a captured nut in the mount, not ideal.

Chapters have been written about Guzzidiag over at wilguzzi.com join up..

when you get the tank off, inspect the area around the steering head (under side of tank) be sure it's not rubbing a hole thru from a frame crossmember..

- Replaced cam chain and tensioner for the Stucci type with spring. Cold idle improved again, no change. Rattle remained. He did that.. hard for me to hear anything not normal in the video accept what sounds like you dropped a tool off camera.. better than a hose put the butt of a big screw driver to your ear and place the tip around the block, heads, timing cover etc to try isolating the noise.

Some had a da$h problem and the bike won't run if that happens.. join up at wildguzzi.com there's a lot of info on that there..

Diesel Hero.. headlight detaches as a hand held light, motor powers a electric generator when you park!

LOL !

note, when you grease the middle zirk on the DS you'll want the axle in (if rear wheel off) or the shaft will expand lengthwise and you won't get the axle lined up until you remove the zirk fitting a let some grease out..

did you get it?

that's Ok cause the seat doesn't look very comfy.

is everything running good now?
