don't you have to turn the power 90 degrees from the crank to the chain gear? I think you would loose about 15% of the power over a direct drive sprocket bike... about the same loss as a drive shaft set up. so I would prefer a shaft drive for all the obvious reasons.

Get over your fear it's so simple a moron could set the valves. Falcolion, did you actually hear pinging? I doubt that you have any problem really... I would think you could find some Guzziophile near NYC to help you confirm and or possibly reset the TPS.

LOVE IT! cheapo seat cover though.

I LUST, THEREFORE I AM! one day i hope to join the registry.. the Nero Corsa is the PEAK of Moto Guzzi design chic! If i could only have one bike, GOD please send me a Nero... I'll trade my '02 LeMans and a very special '80 Convert for ONE! or will trade you 2 Converts, one has a '98 EV powerhouse w/all the operating systems and upgraded EV Brembo's, HB bags, EV seat, SP body, you know it... trade me your NerO!

I have bar risers, and was thinking I could use a bar from a bicycle to mount a GPS above the speedo area. But I wonder if it should be tucked into the fairing more to be out of sunlight and easier to read?

show me the web site, I can't find anything like the Combat boot there.

how about just polishing them?

I want these, http://www.aerostich.com/catalog/US/Aerost...ts-p-16559.html

I suction cup my Nuvi to the speedo glass for now.

bids are already getting too high for me... last week I missed a wrecked BMW K1200LT for 900.! the place is in my area so i can check them out in person before bidding..

heres the bike in question, http://www.crashedtoys.com/index.php?fusea...p;carid=2428571

Paul, I will consider yours if i win the bid on this crashed Mille and sell off the good parts. I probably can't bid high enough to win it but will try, next tuesday. do you know if the rear shock would fit a lemans? Of course I could rebuild the Aprillia also.

will an Ohlins fork from a 05 Aprillia RSV Mille R fit on my 02 V11 Lemans? would i need the triple clamps too or will they slip into mine? will the Lemans wheel fit up? thanks to the experts!

a picture speaks like 1,000 words? I LOVE MY LEMANS! from Minnesota USA...

order a full set of relays from Pyro Dan for less that 20 bucks shipped. check his website: dpguzzi.com

Not cheap but I really like the HB bags, mounts cost 400.

I think the other name is Bill mayer, sorry no contact info.

you've been stung. in most cases the venom is life long... not mine but here's one just like mine, I guess the 60,000 miles has scared off potential buyers? http://minneapolis.craigslist.org/mcy/901635377.html

yep, my oddesey is under there. still has a centerstand but i lost the area for the crossover. for a vert it pretty much rips w/the 1100 motor but I have a winter project w/it again. I put a convert cam in and used the EV lifters, now one or both have worn out 4-5mm that I noticed on valve adjustment on the right intake valve. i now have a EV cam that has the hex hole drilled in it like the vert cam so I'll swap that in and get new lifters this winter.

they mixed up the boxes of springs at the factory and a bunch of them got delivered with the wrong springs in each spot. I heard

Here's my EV powered Convert for some inspiration.

what issues will you run in to? swap the front cover from the old motor, either tranny would fit right? are you going to to take all the FI and ignition with the 1100i? that will really rock. izat a p8 CPU and where will you put it? I spoze you will have to run pod filters cause the air box won't transfer? get some uni filters from denniskirk.com. there might not be room for a battery once you pack in all the electronic systems in there, fuel pump, pres reg, and the CPU. I put an EV into a Convert and put the battery under the tranny but had to eliminate the cross over which worked out w/the way a vert motor runs (lika an airplane) you might need a x-over but could run it at the headers? that will be a screamin machine, hope to see it someday!

what is the performance and sound of these? and then would I want polished headers? price is still too high for seconds in my mind. is the QuatD stainless? could it be polished? where do you buy one?
