Look at your Workshop Manual Section N, page 14, and you can see that mounting shaft for the lower shift wheel from the inside (toward the left side of the photographic image next to the plunger for the Neutral Switch. I am thinking it is pressed into/ part of the sideplate? Perhaps, clean the accessible outer area and apply a bead of RTV silicone?

So, what is the factory dimension of the fork stanchion above the triple clamp on the later V11? Is the 2002/'03Carryover dimension different from the later V11 forks?

Here is a good example of how far the later LongFrame forks are above the top clamp from the start. Same from 2002 on?

If were talking about the early V11 with the clip-ons mounted below the top clamp, the forks are factory mounted with the top of the fork stanchion level with the top of the triple clamp and the cap standing proud. In this case, I suggest we measure any change from the top of the triple clamp to the top of the fork stanchion, not including the cap. Beginning with the 2002 LongFrames, the clip-ons are mounted above the triple clamp and, therefor, the forks are already raised above the triple clamp to clamp on the clip-ons. Whatever that actual dimension is should be the baseline to subtract from any alteration to get the actual change. Again, I suggest not including the cap. Can anyone confirm the amount of fork already above the triple clamp on a LongFrame V11?

Later V11 benefit from an additional relay in the start circuit to take the stress off the ignition switch.

And the battery voltage, now? What type battery is it?

Your brake caliper bracket certainly looks modified, @PeterT and the gap is not normal. My caliper bracket measures 58mm from the swingarm to the wheel and 31mm from the inside of the rib (that is mostly removed from yours) to the wheel side:

Love-me some HEART ! I blame @KINDOY2 for the rabbit hole . . . No surprise it landed on an awesome bass player . . .

I thought about this on my 90 mile circuit through the countryside this afternoon. There was a handful of Halloween decorations, but probably a couple dozen autumn/harvest displays like this sort: There is still some "Trick-or-Treat" in some of the cities and towns, but not out here in the rural countryside. Instead, many of the churches host a "Trunk-or-Treat" in their parking lots where the kids can go from car to car in their costumes and the interactions are among people who know one another. Here, in the deep U.S. southland, Christmas lights and wreaths or garland are still very much part of the landscape starting about Thanksgiving weekend.

Hmmm, a theme recurs . . . Goodbye Milton, good riddance Helene. Hello, Hurricane Girl . . .

I told you we could count on the other inmates on the ward to judge pure, crystalline sanity when they see it.

Not sure what you are asking, but it seems "prudent" and "racy" always showed up on opposite sides of the campus . . .

@guzzigary nailed it.

What about it, @Guzzimax ?

Wow, an honest-looking "motorcycle!" Good to see you about, @st. augustine!

This was a particularly challenging photo-collage to select a single favorite. Yet, I chose this one. Certainly for the captivating character depicted, gelato in hand, but made ever more curious by the story behind the fleeting donna misteriosa in the background . . . and that longing look .

New theme . . . this song broke the mold back in 1968. No more 3:51 time limit. Longest (greatest?) drum solo ever? Thirty-six years later (twenty years ago!) in The Netherlands: "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida", baby ! (makes me want to call mySport "the Iron Butterfly " ) . . .

[docc merged the threads to combine the details with the photos.] Best of luck placing the Sport with an eager new owner. Let's be aware that @SLtrek has been a member here since 2005 even though he has not posted much.

Looking forward to hearing how it goes with the relay change. Otherwise, we will soldier on!
