  2. The last I heard , he was still in ZEEE FADDERLAND
  3. Dito on the Tonti frame . I gotta ask... rear sets on a spine frame ? is there really a need for this ? Also what are you going to do about the exhaust ?
  4. Great pics & report I've have to get out more often
  5. I'm impressed with self levitating Coke machine, now if only Konrad was here to tell me how to say Coca-cola in German
  6. Antonio is a foreigner, its Stooki
  7. Zeb, your bike is the reason we hate you
  8. And maybe the Quat D is made along side the Flowmaster design ? http://www.flowmastermufflers.com/cgi-bin/...er/testing.html
  9. Keep in mind though that the headlight bucket on the LeMans bikes is very different than the Sports, and there really isn't much of any room in there with the reflector. I think that one would have to have the relays mounted/lashed somewhere up in the fairing. So, is someone going to offer this as a kit then? I emailed MPH about their kit they mentioned they were making, but never heard back al Al, sorry nobody at MPH got back to you, but you have hit on the big snag, when it comes to offering a kit.Some of the Cali's & I believe the Centauro have smaller headlight buckets & space is at a premium too. Mikes time is to valuable to sit around making these, now me, " I work a lot cheaper " However , do you try to make a universal kit ? or do you make different versions ? How many of these can you actualy sell ? & what price would somebody pay ? Anyway this is something that me & MPH have to work out . I ask that those who are interested send a e mail to MPH & let them know , anlong with what kind of Guzzi you have too. http://www.mphcycles.com/
  10. Yeah Gary basicaly what I was gonna do was rip off your set up I was talking to Mike at MPH last weekend about this same thing & he also had few people interested also. I'm gonna see Mike again this weekend & work out the details & I'll be getting hold of you too . Thanx again Gary
  11. I used the stucci because it made more power down low ( cant find those dyno graphs, help me Al ) I also remember someone saying the FBF had problems with cracking Another thing , when I went with the stucci the only other alternative at that time was Mistral. http://www.v11lemans.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=501 This probably needs to be moved to Technical
  12. Dont use anymore torque than you would use to screw off the lid of a bottle of fine wine
  13. cuz I can plug a tire ( tyre) on the side of the road & go on. Breaking one down & patching a tube is more than I want to do on the roadside.
  14. You are NEVER gonna be able to buy one for the street. Quit torturing yourself,buy that Solex you had your eye on. You have a better chance of buying a V8 Guzzi replica
  15. Antonio is right :!: They come with a 3 yr warranty http://www.velocruz.com/
  16. I'm a mental defective at least thats what Dr's say ,but as far as I'm concerned its the rest of yall thats screwed up
  17. If Gary doesn't have the time or feel like fooling with it, I will make up a intial batch of 10 to be available through MPH. Let me know Gary. I'm sitting at home on disabiltiy & have nothing better to do.
  18. After a hi speed panic stop, 140 indicated back to 55 to avoid the highway patrol, my rotors were also warped. MGNA eventualy sprung for Speigler cast iron full floaters & carriers. Phil/Tx rode it after they were replaced & said it felt wooden to him The early bikes didn't have Brembo rotors anyway. I was really happy with the replacments & think they were well worth the cost ( free ) That's just my opinion,I could be wrong. Have you ever got a warnig for excessive deceleration ?
  19. you can find this in the FAQ section & yes its a good idea http://www.v11lemans.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=611
  20. I wonder if these would be better for doing stoppies
  21. http://www.v11lemans.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=460
  22. Alright John, I'm really confused now I remember Neils bike having a wider rim than my Y2k, cuz I was thinking about having my rim widened By Kosman or buying the Rosso wheel back then. We had our bikes parked side by side & you could see the difference. I dunno John I maybe getting old timers disease or the pain killers have me screwed up P.S. Your right John, I'm just not with it these days, new drugs
  23. Bill, regardless of what " Walter Mitty " aspirations you may have, I doubt you will find the limits of the 180 or 170 . The earlier bikes had quicker steering ( including the Rosso with the 5.5 wheel ) I remember talking to Neil Reno (R.I.P.) when he switched to a 170 on his Rosso #232 & he told me that he really couldn't tell much difference. This was a guy who could hustle a Guzzi better than anybody in this part of the country. We have several mutual acquaintances that can testify to Neil's abilities . What I'm trying to say is , that if he was comfortable with a 170 you should be too.
  24. Dito The only problem Bill is that the 170 is gonna make your ass look fatter
  25. My local gas station doesn't carry motorcycle tires
