Hard to believe those are only 750cc. They look more like 750cc each . . .

Since Classifieds disappear after 60 days, probably best to put this source in Encyclopedia of Compatible Parts:

This is particularly interesting since you only moved the position from the inner to outer hole, effectively changing from what would have been the furthest position on the original shift arm to the Lucky Phil derived extended position . . .

I'm thinking that might be an (early) 2002 judging by the original (1999-2001) Sport sidecover decals?

And, now, we have this dedicated, archived topic about the V11 Sport beyond the debut 1999-2001 RedFrame (+ Rosso Mandello) ShortFrame V11. Once upon a time, I thought the V11 "Sport" ceased to exist after the short frames. Then the "Carryover Sport" showed up. (Thank you, @gstallons!) Eventually, LongFrame/LongTank Sport (like @Kostarika's 2004) have been revealed. Maybe the rarest of the last Generation V11? A 2003 LongFrame/LongTank Sport in full monochromatic red? Sign me up! I'll deal with the sketchy front cross-over pipe later . . . (Dang! That says "NAKED" three times! But are there really any 2003 "late configuration" V11 Sport? Or are all 2003 "Sport" the 2002 specification ("Carryover"/transition model) ?

Well, we are THE V11 LeMans forum. RedFrameTrash , like me, are just lucky to have a place to park back in the corner . . .

I'll inquire. Has not visited since 2014 . . . [edit: nope, contact attempt failed.]

So, the short arm on the gearbox can be rotated to another groove to set the shift lever angle (I like mine as low to the Frame Side Plate as possible, the the connector rod length is used to get the "right angles" (or close them), before setting the pivot tension/play. Make sure all the fasteners/ pinch bolt/ lock nuts are tight and the pivot bolt is cleaned/polished/greased (I use BelRay Waterproof Grease there since it is down in the road spray).

Watching for Indiana, Virginia, and East Tennessee SpineRaiders to jump in . . .

Ah, yeah, using the upper hole is the idea. Might require a slight change to the connector rod length. I also "tune the shifter" to bring it within a couple millimeters of the Frame Side Plate on the downstroke in every gear. Also, the tension on the pivot can be adjusted by turning the pivot bolt to the desired tension and locking it in place with the inboard lock nut. My shifter still had too much wiggle/ play for my tastes, so I shimmed the lever in the pivot space.

Through the entire V11 range, a "Sport" was delivered with no fairing of any kind and the instruments/headlamp are fork mounted. Two special exceptions are the 2001 Rosso Mandello (a "special edition Sport" with factory flyscreen/"quarter fairing", still fork mounted) and the 2003-2004 Café Sport that came with handlbars and frame mounted flyscreen/headlamp/instruments (like the Ballabio and Coppa Italia).

My thigh feels better, already . . .

Yep, these make good neighbors . . . More beds than bedrooms in both.

This guy, @chamberlin, said it first, " . . . I think it is an important data point for us. I believe it would make the most sense to classify these bikes primarily by major feature set, and secondarily by model year. "

Okay, yes: #16 = 04211201001 "Flexible coupling hose kit " (2 parts, not the washer stack/#18) And two "Sliding Sleeves" (#2 in this diagram):

"Manicotto Scorrevole" . . . "sliding sleeves" (makes sense for what we were calling "sliding dogs." Instead, "flexible hose coupling " refers to the other part of the recall, the gearbox "cushdrive" :

Cause for celebration! I was gonna post Spanish Moon , but then "the nerve in my thigh just quivered and fizzled " . . . [Moto Guzzis], they was locked Arm in Arm . . .

A review of official sales literature reveals the "2001" brochure that introduced the 2002 Le Mans, referenced above, showing the three Sport (short tank) colors over the braced, black LongFrame referred to as "Sport Naked ." The 2003 Sales Brochure shows the "Carryover Sport ", and a bright red monochromatic later configuration, called "Naked Sport." My 2004 Sales Brochure shows the later LongFrame/LongTank configuration with "Naked Sport " badging on the tail fairing (like @Kostarika's 2004 Sport, pictured above). From the 2003 Sales Brochure: The standing question remains: Were all 2003 V11 Sport in the 2002 LongFrame/ShortTank "Carryover"configuration or are there actual 2003 LongFrame/Long Tank Sports?

For comparison, @Kostarika's fine 2004 Sport. This is the configuration of a "late model" Sport (not a "carry over") . . . LongFrame; long tank/no chin pad/ internal pump & filter; satin black engine paint/ black face ITI/hUR gauges; 43mm forks; front exhaust crossover pipe: The question arises, are there 2003 Sport in this, later, configuration? Or are all 2003 Sport in the 2002 "carry over" configuration?

@stewgnu shared this stunning image of his nicely modded Carryover Sport . . . @Guzzimax's Carryover Sport nicely compared to his beautiful silver RedFrame clearly showing the longer frame in front of the short tank: @motortouring's 2002 ("Pre-Carryover?) Sport: @LaGrasta's 2003 Carryover Sport . . .

I found the introduction of this "Sport Naked " in the 2001 sales brochure that also introduced the 2002 LeMans (LongFrame/ShortTank):

Thank you, @chamberlin , for posting this original sales brochure! "Schnörkellos in der Linienführung" >no frills in the lines<

2003 Carryover Sport configuration: 2002 "Long Frame" with early "Short Tank" (chin pad/external fuel pump/filter) and white-face Veglia gauges driven by the "angle drives." Wrinkly, crinkly, fragile black engine/driveline paint. 40mm forks. No front exhaust crossover pipe or "Long Tank" (internal pump/filter), no "tube driven" black-face ITI/hUR instruments, no 43m forks, no left/right turn indicators without a "battery" light. No tight "satin" black driveline paint. (all common to true&actual 2003 and later V11). These are purely 2002 specification V11 that were sold as 2003 "transition" models . . .

I have asked @stewgnu if he can send me the file in a different format . . . edit: Stand by, we are actively working on this request.
