gstallons

I have never heard any complaints

I will take one . I lost the other one !

You may as well buy one . I have one I've not used , the freight will cost you . You nay as well buy one .

BTW , you did a good job loosening in a spiral . Do it the same way when installing .

You "might" be OK . Do put it on a FLAT surface and check or have a machinist ( if you're not ) check . Most Guzzi riders are some type of professional .

You should install a new drive on the starter , it seems like they all look rough when you look at them . If you can get a GREAT machine shop inspect all the surfaces the clutch disc touches to see if it needs attention . You live in Ca , so you should get good machine work done there .

It seems like these are all prototypes more than anything .

Well I got Whitney running FINALLY . I thought the starter drive was hitting the flywheel so I got a new drive and fork from EME . installed everything . Started back up , same noise . Started kicking ( I admit ) and found the crossover rattling . Good excuse , I dig through my inventory of cardboard boxes , find a perfect crossover beneath my M4 slip-ons . On goes the crossover . Well , here goes the M4s . Got it all on after prying , cutting , doing everything but the Enerpac port-a-power trick . My GOD . The M4 slip-ons . Whoever was peddling these a week or so , you better get some . This bike went from a Singer sewing machine to Steppenwolf !

There was a time the words build quality / British motorcycle was not in the same book . When I was young you didn't ride a British bike any farther than you could push it back .

I installed it on my red frame with just removing the throttle balance rod . IT WAS A JOB !

Let me change my answer , you better look to see if there is something to bolt the brace to before you buy . You do understand , there are no laws w/Moto Guzzi , only loose rules .

The frame plate fits the red frame ONLY . Trust me , I have an extra to prove it !

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm . Uh , whatever you want it to be ? I thought I knew about batteries . Flooded cell , yeah . Gel , AGM . Uh NO !

It's certainly not like a GXER , Ninja or Harley . I am certain the skalawags didn't even know what they got !

I have the black frame 02-03ish (external fuel pump) and a red frame 99-00ish V11s , of course the SE w/the righteous red/white paint scheme , and the Suzuki w/the red,copper,orange paint .

Brother , I feel for you . I hope you get it back in perfect shape .

NOOOOWWWWW what did you not do ?

What is your preference in "bar ends" ?

Sorry , brake lever , no clutch lever . The shift lever will be scarce . Like you will probably have to buy new . I have a pair of anodized (reddish) head protectors .

Does anyone have a part # for the Valeo starter drive on the V11 ? I want to get one close w/o waiting on one from away from here ? It's a Valeo with a 9 tooth gear .

I was looking to see about a part # for a starter drive for my red frame . Got to looking at the fact we both have 87 Lemans SEs , 2003 V11s and 2012 Suzuki V Stroms . Now , do you own a red frame too ?

Mmmmmm . 4v !

The unfortunate thing here in the States . It id divided among party lines AFA the existence , lock-down , response , treatment , etc . I am glad our Commonwealth has good leadership and is acting with good actions . I know there is a gigantic toll taking place with this lockdown . I am sorry . I really think this could have been "on the short rows" had it been acted upon quicker .

Hey , about 10 yrs ago I wen to an open house at the BMW store in Cape G , Mo. After I got home I found one of the slip-ons hanging DOWN and about to fall off . ---- ! The best of us miss things all the time . If you ride with a pack , everyone look at each other's bike . IDK why , but you will see someone else's "fault" before you see your own . It doesn't hurt to do a pre-flight , because there aren't many unnecessary parts on a bike or aircraft .

I have 3 or 4 sets , you tell me ?
