Green . . . . black . . . . *silver* (looks like you've got *silver* covered ) . . . Are you going to be a RedFrame guy or a LongFrame guy . . . . . . . .

I'm guessing April and May, here in The States, is going to bring out some tasty options for those afflicted souls looking to hook up with a SpineFrame!

Did you crank it up and let it *affect* you!

Shoooooot . . . . I saw Emry posted and clicked to see The Answer. Aw, man, I hate it when this is the answer:

Heh - I *know a guy* who could build a Go_Winkie app for your mobile device . . .

Wot?!? No Go_Winkie ?!?

Yeah, good points there, man, as usual.

It's hard to fathom that casting a dedicated piece, applying a finish, and pressing bushings into each end would be any cheaper than a length of round stock with two Heim joints installed? I had always had the impression it was done as a matter of *style* . . .

Occam's Guzzi !

Speedhut has been spectacularly professional and patient with me while I have re-refined the face designs. On to the actual build now, then to the installation. Thanks to all of those who have gone before me! Kiwi_Roy, Scud, chamberlin, gargoyle, callison, mjptexas, and moto fugazzi!

I just added two relays to my EV's headlights and they are now visibly brighter. Would my '04 V11 benefit from the same setup or does it have a dedicated headlight relay already? TIA No dedicated headlight relay on your '04. Lots of owners have reported brighter headlamps with fused power to a dedicated relay, grounding headlights back to the frame or block. brlawson just got the components and materials from EasternBeaver to do this. http://www.v11lemans.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=19803&p=218190 I decided to use separate relays and grounds for the hi and lo beams, but I'm a certifiable nut case. Of course, everyone here knows that already . . . .

Oh, right! Maybe four variants? Early (40mm) Marzoc's could have the axle threaded into the left fork leg or through bolted to a lock nut. I had thought the later 2003-2005 (43mm) Marzoc's were hollow, but forgot all about the Öhlins!

But is it "a proper Jaaaag?"

"Racing" . . . "Kevlar" . . . "Teflon" . . . ."Chromoly" . . . "ulrta high perf" . . . Man, that's all the food groups right there!

You must have a hollow axle?

I found moto fugazzi's 2013 post showing the valve. Check it out: http://www.v11lemans.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=18186&p=193003 And guzzimoto's explanation here: http://www.v11lemans.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=18243&p=193842

Seems like when I replaced my breather hose there was talk of a check ball, but mine didn't have it and no other V11 owners reported one. I think I saw it in a diagram, so maybe the 1100 Sport/ Sport 1100?

Again, why not use the check valve common to other Guzzi big blocks? And why was that eliminated from the V11 anyway?

Did not pre-V11 big blocks have a check valve in the main vent? Is not the same thing?

Is that a "Quat-D" ?

Uh, I don't think you can be "off-topic" in your own topic . . . Probably the best cross-over thread ever, by Greg field, here: http://www.v11lemans.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=11564&hl=mistral

If you connect guzzidiag and find your CO Fuel Trim set at minus 27 to minus 50 or something like that, you'll be spinning your wheels for a long time unless that gets corrected. Same with the TPS baseline setting.

Have you performed the "Decent Tune-up" and observed/set the CO Fuel Trim and balanced the throttle bodies?

Aaaaaah! "Champagne!" That explains it!

Ha, so . . . "lounge bikes" are all good if you can roll up some serious time on them . . . l love the "lounge room" moniker. Not sure why . . .
