How great to see your post! +1 on Eastwood Diamond Clear to "seal the deal."

2014 is pretty old post/thread to ask after. Yet, our good man chamberlin checked in less than a year ago. Let's see if he gets a notification this way: How 'bout it, @chamberlin ?

"Ain't this XERB, Baby!?!"

This is Loeb's 2013 effort. Just crazy to go along for the (wild) ride!

There just are not any "classified ads" like this, anywhere . . . Page one: member @Randy (South'nSpineRaider) posts a random CL ad. (Comment and concern follow). Page two: We discover the passing of our longtime member : twhitaker Page three: This V11LeMans finds a new home and our honorable @witttom respects us with the outcome . . . [edit: same page @FreyZI chimes in and invites us to join his new venture!]

"Does anyone have a source for the actual cap-to-tank seal for our V11 cap?" [ I know , I stutter when I type. (That's how I became doc-c . . . ) ]

New thread. Kind of a "How to" for tech for listening to audio on a "Home System" while dealing with combined video systems . . .

More awesome community! Scud just posted a cross reference in his "Encyclopedia of Compatible Parts" for the outer ring gasket on the filler cap ring. Does anyone have a source for the actual cap-to-tank seal for our V11 cap?

That really honors our late member twhitaker, RIP. Thanks for the update, @witttom. Good on you, man. Don't be a stranger, and I hope the new owner knows how welcoming we are.

This is an awesome post. We have a "TubeAmps!" thread and this "listen to" thread. I vote we start a dedicated "Hi-Fi" tech equipment thread with this cool post. @LowRyter, are you game for that?

Probably a good idea to groom the angle on the cable bracket so the cable has a straight run from the housing to the bell crank, then give the pinch gap a little squeeze. Throttle cables tend to develop broken strands there.

Looks like you are pushing the start button about once per second ten times. What happens if you turn the key on and wait ten seconds before pressing the start button ?

R.I.P. "Meatloaf" . . . You have a favorite cut, @Cabernet ?

Truly, it appears no one has seen anything more than the two exhibition models. The V11 sport (black!) was exhibited at EICMA 1997. It was August 2000 before I could buy mine in the USA (V11 early adopter!). Not quite three years, but also not uncommon for Moto Guzzi lead time from exhibition to production/ availability . . .

I hope @p6x sees this as I believe his V11 is still giving this trouble. Thanks, again, @Kiwi_Roy !

Here is @Craig's "How To . . ." thread on the fairing installation. Craig last dropped in a couple years ago, so maybe this will invite him back for a visit . . .

I must have been moving fast yesterday. Kept reading that as "Texas slide" . . .

I've said this before, but . . .

Here you go, @laurent . Click on this top line, in bold, to take you to the relevant post, then you can review this more current thread on the topic. Looks like seven other members in British Columbia replied on this thread . . .

Hi, @laurent ! welcome to V11 LeMans.com! Certainly the right place for love, care, and feeding of your Sport! Unfortunately, Steve G hasn't visited since 2011. Yet, there is another thread on this topic where members in BC reported success with the collector plates. Let me see if we can find it and post a link for you . . .

I have found Shin-Etsu is to rubber what Caig DeOxit is to electrical connections.

Hands down, the most amazing rubber product I have ever encountered is Shin Etsu Grease. Developed for Honda (car), and sold as a Honda part number, it has a phenomenal effect on rubber. https://www.collegehillshonda.com/product/08798-9013.html

Still a good question. I wonder if this tidbit* of info may help: Having waited three months for the Harper order to ship, I placed an order with MGCyce and they shipped the next day. They'll be here today. *What I noticed is that MGCycle has the original part (01114300) superseded with 01114390. As to the point, I have to think that we will continue to see increasing numbers of V11 parts become No Longer Available. Very common with 20+ year old motorcycles (and cars), especially rubber parts that suffer not only from use, but heat, UV, and time (oxidation/ hardening). For those of us committed to keeping and maintaining these fabulous V11, it seems prudent to have spare intake boots sealed in a bag and stored in a cool, dry, dark place.
