Hello, I need a set of the stock bars that go on a 2000 V11 sport. I have the risers and JUST need the bars. Anyone have a set or know where I can get a new or used set? Thanks, Alan

hey guys....I BOUGHT IT! I rode it all day today and love it. I haven't even cleaned it up yet, but I still love the way it looks. What a HUGE difference between this and my T3. I will say that it has just enough in common with my T3 for me to appreciate it. I'll post some pics later to show how similar they are in appearance. Thanks for your help. I believe you'll be hearing more from me. Alan

I'm the guy who was asking about a comparison of a T-3 to a V11 sport. I rode it tonight and think I'm going to buy it. The PO said he's had the factory recalls done, but I noticed the clutch rattling when I engaged. Is this normal? It sounded just like a Ducati's rattling clutch. Should I be concerned? Thanks, Alan

Why are my quotes not working in the reply?

Should I call MGNA about this? Can they easily update me on its recall status? I'm guessing that it should fit me quite well since I'm 6'2" about 185. I DO appreciate the torque curve of my T-3.....nice and smooth and always there. What do the springs normally run and what's the best place to purchase them? I'm only concerned about value because I tend to own at least 3-4 bikes at a time and sell them after I spot something new on the radar and as a college student I like to at least be able to sell them for what I paid....sometimes MUCH better.

Hey guys, I've been riding (read: working on) my 1975 MG 850 t-3 for a while now and although I love the bike, I do wish I wasn't constantly chasing charging issues.....gas leaks....oil leaks...electrical gremlins and the normal stuff. I am going to look today at a used 2000 V11 Sport just to test the water and I'm hoping to get some advice from you all. It has 16,000 miles on it and seems to be in good shape. It's up for sale for $3,600. The questions are: Are there any common problems or significant issues to look out for on this particular model? Any obvious drawbacks to owning one period? What are the going value of these and do any of you care to make a guess at continued value loss? (I'm guessing that a well maintained bike like this would be nearing its bottom dollar pricing and should maintain its value quite well?!?) Should the mileage indicate possible upcoming maintenance concerns? Will I miss my old shaking and CLASSIC T-3? Thanks ahead of time! Alan
