  1. Pretty sure you could walk into NAPA or any auto parts store and match them up.. they are not a Guzzi only part.
  2. back in the day (apartment days) I used a tripod, land lady didn't mind previous renter was HD grease bag..
  3. I HAVE a video with the Lemans in the works now.. a visit to the Rock S hop! then I'll make a Uly video..
  4. could not resist this bike, after 1,000+ miles I'm very happy! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OFeuPWgDB9k&feature=youtu.be
  5. sure the late model big twins have it, Stelvio, Norge etc.. but none of them light my fire.. Aprilia maybe, but right now I like Buell, no ABS but I'm getting lured in,
  6. grease DS but when you do the center zirk--- have the axle in place so it does not expand length of shaft or it's a bitch to get it back in when over full of grease.
  7. I wonder if the reason stainless is not factory in that application has a reason? like heating cooling between the stainless and aluminum head? also the softer aluminum threads will strip before the stud thread, reason for concern?
  8. glad your good to go.. I've heard of doubling up the VC gasket to stop leaking. don't tighten too much, it's easy to strip the threads.
  9. what Roy said, are the ports on the intake manifold either capped or tied to each other with a hose? if those nipples are open it will suck in too much air. other wise it sounds like the TPS set to high, did the shop know how to set the TPS?
  10. I heard Loffgren doesn't do Guzzi's anymore.. I'm very happy with the Mistral over stock.
  11. I saw your CL ad.. mabe you should trade for my Bassa (next best thing to a 1400)?
  12. I fixed the same problem with a Mistral crossover.
  13. those little bullet connectors under tank along left side of steering stem?
  14. I got a used one here for my 02 Lemans.(Thanks, Leon). it's an improvement from stock but not perfect. I'm a little too short to reach butt to the pocket completely.. it's not soft! but the shape is better than stock. and yes the early V11 needed a slightly different seat, I tried to mount one but it didn't fit.. seems more like the latch was different not the front mount area.
  15. must be a Valeo.. but it could be a bad relay?
  16. Sweet bike, you are living the dream now! I'm deeply Norwegian myself.. don't know if you've heard of this Ethanol and I'm not sure if it's the cause but keep an eye on the gas tank, front right inside the tunnel around steering neck. they tend to swell or deform and rub against exposed tube section of frame, it rubs and can wear a hole right thru the plastic tank. yes it probably has the quicker steering geometry, i didn't really like it when I rode my friends but could easily get to like it if I had a GREENIE! LOVE THAT COLOR. your a lucky guy!
  17. is your fuel pump mounted above the left cyl? maybe the heat is cooking the fuel and you have vapor lock?
  18. Huh ? you mean stock cross over eliminator? that will be a good thing.
  19. thanks, I think I like the stock Griso look better.. anyway that doesn't do me like a V11 Lemans.
  20. Link won't open for me, got another?
  21. hot could be a clue, check that the input wire isn't melted into the relay base.
  22. I would be so pissed if that was my bike.. don't really have answer tho it sounds like a relay, could it be the connectors into the relay base? battery terminals nice and tight?
