Have you ever figured it out how to make Gas Gauge to work?

Yes that is pretty small gas tank. I am also curious why did you take off the drive shaft. It looks like a straight bolt on of rear subframe, front/instrument cluster subframe and then putting plastic and the headlight. Also curious about your rims. Did you get these with the kit as well? I agree on the speedometer. It definitely will upgrade/modernize the look of the bike and will be a perfect fit cosmetically. Does this speedo uses OEM sensors or do you have to do it from the scratch? Thank you for your answers

I wanted to do this conversion for a while now. I spoke to Brian a while back (from G& and got some pricing. I am still on the fence somewhat. Converting it to Sport Monza will cost me the price of a new bike and that not counting the bike itself. I am sure I can offset some costs by selling my bodywork but I am still in the limbo. I do my V11 a lot and especially after I converted Ballabio into Lemans. I got bunch of pics from Brian as well and I don't like underseat exhausts or Quad Exhausts. I personally think they are ugly. I would keep my beatufil carbon M4 pipes at the stock locations. I also think that stock mounted pipes hide a huge gap that becomes too visible under the rear cowling. Jaap, are you also getting a new digital speedo? Also any idea on how high can you bring up your clip-ons? Is there any possibility to have some bar risers installed?

Don't worry about oil or parts. By the way I ship stuff there almost everyday. Regular usage parts such as oil and air filters are not a problem at all. As for other parts all I can say its about same for any Italian bike. That means you cannot get these parts within 2 days but instead might take a week. V11 is pretty solid bike so not much will be breaking. Both of the Japs are nice bikes and way waster then Guzzi but its not the speed but the way it rides and makes you feel. You can easily do 120-125 miles (180-200 kph) on this bike. I don't think you need to go any faster on the street. I just sold a Ducati Sport Classic BiPosto to my customer in Moscow and now we are custom building/upgrading it. You are always welcomed to call me if you have any question. My phone is in the signature line

Don't worry about bars. Even if you get the ones with clip-ons you can put on ConvertiBars and they can be lifted as hgh or higer then regular bars, as low as clip-ons or anywhere in between (only takes a couple om minutes)

Yes its cool and unusual. There almost no European/exotics bikes in Russia. Moscow and St.Petersbrg have some extremely small quantities of Euro/Italian machinery. Ducatis predominate (I helped adding more by sending one to my customer). Thee are some MV Agusta and maybe up to 6-7 Benellis betwween Moscow and St.Petersburg. I knew of only couple of Moto Guzzis. By the way I'm Russian American so that makes two of us

I might be in but will know better as the time gets closer

Greg, I got stupid question. If this air pump goes into a place of your spark plug, how do you start an engine with one spark plug?

Greg, Thanks for confirming. Rachethack, I took the caliper apart and cleaned it up. So now its nice and shiny. Its the first time I am changing the brakes on this bike so I did it by taking caliper apart. Now I will be installing it just by sliding a pin. Thanks for the link. I somehow forgot about it. I don't buy too often from TAW Thank you all

Well, I just took the rear pads off and obviously in the process had to open the caliper halves. The only numbers I saw on the caliper were 20.4531.03. I am assuming that is a part number for the caliper. The only thing I don't know if its Guzzi part or Brembo part number. I would assume its a Brembo part number. So if anyone can somehow cross reference or suggest were I can cross reference this number I would highly appreciate. I look at the shape of the brake pads and they definitely don't look like the ones that go into Griso. Also just ran Braking cross reference and indeed they are showing as 612. So EBC would be FA47HH (sintered) and Galfer 12 So if anyone in the know can confirm I would appreciate. By the way I was alerted by Galfer listing that the brake pads might be different but I think they have a misprint. Its hard to believe that MG would do such a stupidity.

I need to replace my Ballabio rear brake pads. So, I looked up Galfer and EBC brake pads and it looks like that Ballabio rear pads are same as Griso but different from the rest of V11 Lemans line. Sport, LeMans, Scura are listed as having one type of brake pads and Ballabio's are diiferent. Its essentially identical bikes and all of them have identical front pads. Does anyone have OEM parts listing for Ballabio Pads? Or even better, does anyone know for certain what are EBC, Braking or Galfer? Thanks Vlad

How about posting picture of V11 tank and possibly the price. That would be the right thing to do since your website doesn't show anything like that

Definitely ConvertiBars. Got them on mine and love them. By the way I also sell them Convertibars

I love that FrankenGuzzi. Since I cannot understand anything in German I wonder what would one need to duplicate such a machine. Looking at the pics it looks like the engine was enlarged to 1400cc and ECU modified. What donor bikes can be used? Can one use V11 or a newer Griso, Breva 1100 or sport 1200 will be needed. WOuld I have to get 4 valve bike. Gezzi-Brian kit looks good at the front but the rear is perched up. I would prefer real undertail or just high mounts to make it look more full and complete

Well while back I described the sound in great details and was told that its a ping. Here is the link to original thread Unexpected problem. I resolved a problem with gas tank suck by removing that little rubber plug that covers a breather whole inside the gas cap but pinging is still there. So if anyone have other suggestions besides PC3 let me know Thanks Vlad

I only put 93 Premium which is the highest on this side of a pond

I have 03' Ballabio converted to LeMans. Since I got it I didn't get to ride it much cause I have some concerns about possibly causing some damage to my motor. I have installed M4 Carbon pipes on it. Last year after I desribed what I heard I was told my engine might be pinging. I adjusted the valves (thanks for write up guy, it was nice and easy) but because I have M4 pipes I assume bikes has to be set up to run a little richer. I am sure a lot of you are extremely knowledgable and I would appreciate your comments suggetsion. I have read TPS adjustments but don't feel too comfortable playing with it without supervision. I really don't want to f*up the whole thing. I really want to ride it more so any suggestion/recommendation on what should be done will be appreciated. By the way anyone from NYC and nearby area knows of a good Guzzi shop, please let me know

Enjoy them. Thanks for your order

I am the one that sells Pazzo and CRG as well. I can't decide for the customers but my personal preference is Long Clutch and Short brake. I got this combo on my Guzzi and Aprilia Falco. My track only Triumph Daytona has both long levers. By the way I am THE ONLY ONE who sells Pazzo for V11 on eBay or thru my website. I obviously prefer to sell the thru my website. PayPal is accepted for all US and Canadian residents but the rest of the world is Credit card only. I don't post much here but visit from time to time. I actually prefer Pazzo over CRG due a wider color availability. By the way both CRG and Pazzo are not just pure bling but actually are extremely useful. Anyone with small hands or large hands will enjoy much better comfort. First of all the angle of bend in the lever is a little different from stock and the adjustment range is much wider. So guys with smaller hands can adjust the levers so its much closer to the bar and the guys with extremely large hands can do the opposite. Again I think that people that get both short levers do it for the looks. I cannot imagine everyone shiftng with 2 fingers. Braking on the other hand is very doable with 2 fingers. That is the reason mine are Long Clutch and Short Brake. If one wants to keep symetry then you can get either all Long or All Short. My website can be accessed frommy signature line Thanks Vlad

I might one too depending on the $$$ price

Jaap, Thanks for the response. I thought ny question was straight forward. There are a lot of guys on here that know technical specs very well. Yes I do want to change the line for a longer one. Besides Ballabio lines have 90 degree elbow turn and V11 Sport and LeMans have 45 degrees. Since I converted to ConvertiBars I need 45 degrees and I need my lines longer. As it is its still works with stock lines but I am all the way at the stretch limit. I would like to get another incho or so.

What is the brand of Bearings (front and rear) that are available for these bikes? Does anyone know if All Balls Racing makes bearing for our bikes?

As the topics asks I am wondering if anyone know the measurements (length) of clutch line on Ballabio and I hink that would be also Coppa. Please chime in

Where have you been before when I was looking for fairing? I carry some mirrors, and brake and clutch levers
