Good to know! (And cool to see that three guys on fairly simple instruments can carry an entire stadium!) A few years back, I found one of my resistors had twice the resistance of the other (5000Ω vs 10,000Ω). Just one more little thing to get your V11 in balance!

If you are the Genie of the Lamp, could you please make my RedFrame Sport a desirable, near-vintage Guzzi model that moves and motivates an entire generation to have Moto Guzzi part of their life? (If you come through on this, I have two other wishes in the wings . . .)

Early clip-ons have a one piece bar-end weight that would have to be removed to insert the typical "expanding dogs" type of mirror anchor. Instead, I had mine machined to fit the CRG clamp ($$). Later V11 clip-ons (from 2002 LeMans) have a multi-piece weight system that I suspect would have to be removed to use the sliding-dog inserted-anchor common to most bar-end mirror systems. I wonder what the V11 handlebar bikes use in the ends of their bars (Ballabio, Café Sport, etc)?

Vanity? (I love the look of my Made in UK red Champion "spark plug boots.") I'm not even sure why there is a resistor in them. Just to keep people's radios from crackling when they're parked next to me?

I believe we're talking about three different cables here.

I got my red Champion resistor caps for Lambretta from Welsh Scooter Parts, Newport UK for 28US dollars and they shipped to me in few days. Of course, the old ebay link has gone dead.

At least on the early RedFrame, the throttle body assembly will not come free without separating the frame and driveline.

Those are all great cuts! "Girl on guitar" makes me think of this performance with Jeff Beck and bassist, Tal Wilkenfeld, (comic introduction by Bill Murray at the 2007 Crossroads Guitar Festival): I could ride my Sport a million miles with this in my head!

How cool is that!?

There are two idle set screws, one on each side, and two high idle cam fasteners. Be sure they are all released and the butterfly is not sticking in the throttle bore. The factory yellow paint is there to help you find all the points that need to be fettled.

I love this idea! I've been thinking about this since it came up on Scud's thread. (Rush's drummer, Neil Peart, is a motorcyclist of note!) But, yes, how do you embed the play window?

That just chokes me: fifteen bucks for a single plastic lens; likely plus shipping, what five to fifteen more? Ghastly.

This post shows the Buell numbers for the inner (amber) and outer (smoked) lenses. I have also seen these signals on triumph, but do not have their numbers.

Not DKW?

Just for reference:

Yeah, these are rather large. Would be great on a long trip with the better half. Where you gonna carry your stuff?

Looking at that picture, it appears the angle of view is slightly front to back accentuating the upper hump. It would good to see a few more views of the Ducati piece. The CEV casting numbers are 358 for the lens and 2255 for the housing. Curious about the numbers on the Ducati part?

Gran Turismo!

I would swear that Ducati part is the exact same CEV part that is on my Sport . . . no?

I noticed that my battery voltage will drop twice as fast with the Garmin Zumo 550 left in the mount. But, you're saying the mount itself (with no GPS in it), hard wired to the battery is an electrical vampire because it is likely chipped?

And little things like the front fender blacked out back half; one of the cleanest exhaust lines ever; the gold tank decals. But those low clip-ons - oh, my aching neck! Interesting to compare to the original Marabese design study for the V11 LeMans.

My experience has been that this could be the single biggest parameter overlooked in the tuning process. I've posted this before, but my factory setting was *minus 27* - I forget what that translated to on the sniffer, but it was amazing how the engine smoothed out as the setting was brought to *0*

Can the CO be set with guzzidiag or do you have to use TunerPro?

I would so try to isolate my fairing from the engine. That red "LeMans" (Sport Corse Extrema?) is perhaps the most beautiful V11 I've ever seen. (Don't let my Sport hear that! )

I think you are right (at least as often as I go through tires!) That said, I had a rear bearing go between tires. I would have caught it if I didn't think, "I'll get another few hundred miles out of this tire - just watch!"
