got a discount at the Sammy Miller Museum when we said we were at the V Twin rally. this was a couple of years ago but would be worth asking

Been running PR4 GTs on my Mandello for a few thousand miles now and find them very good in both the rain and dry.

think this might be the right screen for your Mandello http://www.tlm.nl/webshop/en/screen-cal-titanium-v11-015772420000-moto-guzzi

this is the Mistral crossover, it to has a support bracket.

what you need is this type of system have a look at the company http://www.kliktronic.co.uk/ it may not be in your country? but it will give you an idea of what can be done to help you.

going to see if i can get the time off for this.

Told him about the Scottish Rally but unfortunately he had just got tickets for another rally on the same weekend.

A friend of mine is now the proud owner of Berties V11. He had been looking at Grisos but could not find any a reasonable price, so when I saw Berties ad in the for sale section I let him know. Went round to see him and the bike today.

Another question, i've found the AF1 Racing site and just need to know if you fitted the AF1 Handguard Kit for Tuono (AF1-HG-Kit) or the OEM Aprilia Shiver / Dorsoduro Handguard Kit. cheers

do you happen to have the parts numbers for the handguards, also is AF1 a US shop or an add on part number for the guards. I'm in the UK, so could go to a local dealer to get them if I am able to get the dogbone thing over here as well. Cheers.

Got a set from J and S called Dr Bike I think they were about £26 at the time ( a couple of years ago ) they are based on the old style Oxford grips which have a large turning control knob instead of the push buttons they have now. Can't recommend them highly enough, very warm on the max of the 4 heat setting so much so that I have to turn them down unless it's a very very cold day. These are them although they have gone up in price now http://www.jsaccessories.co.uk/doctor-bike-dr695-heated-grips.html They also do these at £24.99 which seem to have a controller very like the R and G ones http://www.jsaccessories.co.uk/dr-bike-drmhgc001-drmhg-heated-grips.html

Hi guys thanks for all the replies will be looking at the bike this weekend my o2 internet connection seems to be made by Piagio as its stopped working as well!!! This is being sent from my mobile, so hopefully internet connection for the weekend!

I feel your pain Dave, my V11 is doing the same thing at the moment.

Went to start the V11 last week, fuel pump primed but no go. Thinking it may not have enough battery juice(bike not been used since May) put it on charge. Tried to start it today and no go. Pump prims, relays click but does not turn over. The relays are all new. This happened a while ago and the RAC man showed me how to put a wire from the live battery terminal to the starter motor terminal? once its wire was disconnected. Tried this and low and behold it started. Switched it off reconnected the starter motor live wire and nothing . Also rev counter not working. Help please, What should i be checking.
