gstallons

I bought some of these in the 70s from Fastenal & they were listed as spherical rod ends .

Hmmm , I would talk to a starter rebuilder or (if there is) a starter forum and see what happens . Also , these things have to be in perfect position when reinstalling them .

Stick a magnet up in there and remove all doubt .

ALLMAN BROTHERS / Fillmore East . The entire recording . One of the best of all time .

Buddy , I paid this shop $50 to swap the rear . I let them know "no mars , scratches , dings , nuthin' . I can't get another wheel like this" . Well , after a 10 day wait for a tire changer part , it is back ( in perfect condition ) and on ! One of you said "new tire , new brakes" was/is right . A law not a suggestion . Now , all I need is time .

It just soaked in......................

Look at the math . 01 Scura $10k Good looking bike . Ohlins , lots of plus .$10k , no way. 01 v11 for $5k or 05 for $6500 . 4 years for $1500 . Mmmmm . The 05 would be my choice .

Hmmm . Uhhhh , it's a fiddle here .

Electrical dead Scura ? if that were the case , every V11 owner would be taking their bike somewhere else .

Photos : priceless !

If it comes with ALL fasteners, buy it .

IF you don't know what to look for ad/or the seller is vague , take a friend / authority with you to be a good third party . my 02/03 had more patina than I wanted , BUT I bought it from another member . I am satisfied with it and ALL the $ I've poured into it . I doubt if you will be taken , but be a careful buyer . ASK plenty of ?s and have a checkoff list . If there is a member in the area , get them to go along . Is this bike perfect ? Hell no . you will be busy with it and you will be satisfied with a damn good bike !

"I have bought the last bike of my life"....I'm not sure about that . The second part bothers me "which is quickly winding down" . Let's go over this part ..........

Did anyone notice the "Bronson'' H/D ?

mmmmm

Righteous !

You should consult with someone who can paint nylon , plastic or whatever it is before you go forward on this project . Personally , I would look into maybe buying another tank if the bubble matters that much .............

Uhhh , you connected them wrong ?

FYI .... everyone needs to reread the entire thread on this subject . It would have saved me a lot of trouble TRYING to figure out how it works .

Get ready to be surprised ! There is no tellin' what you will get . I don't think I have seen the same hue , tint or whatever you want to call it on this color . Temp , sunlight , latitude , longitude , you name it dictates what color you end up with . Pull the seat and see what color the tank started as . Whatever paint color you get is whatever color you get . Live with it and appreciate it .

Yeah , Salvador .... what does the yellow phone represent ?

All joking aside , there is no " normal " on ANYTHING involving a MotoGuzzi .

I think all of Europe charges VAT , Final sale , country to country , etc. IDK if there is VAT on used parts or not ? I returned about $300 worth of new parts to Agostini , they were going to charge them tax on returns , I told them to throw the stuff in the trash and forget about it . There is sales tax in the US with internet sales skipping most of it . Here in The States the final destination (customer) is responsible for sales tax collected and paid .

Beee cause of axle size / bearing diameter ?

with the exception of the vaccination , my wife agreed with all your other points . Everyone needs to be taking Vitamin D , Zinc , Airborne , Emergen-c , etc . Talk to a good health or vitamin store and don't duplicate . P.S. she has had the vaccine , i haven't been captured yet to get mine .....
