It's the deep sump kit from Moto Spezial. I have it on my V11 too. Don't know if it's still available though. http://www.mgcycle.com/product_info.php?products_id=2784

Pure poetry! Thanks. I wish everyone here a merry Christmas and a lovely 2011 with a speedy start of the biking season. And I want to thank you all for contributing to this forum, making it my favourite hobby! After my GF, my Sport Monza, my 1200 Sport, playing billiards, making dinner, reading the newspaper, Facebook, mowing the lawn and doing the dishes.

Thanks, I moved the topic

The Tekno bags need a frame. These look like throw overs. The grip also looks different. I'm almost sure they're not the Tekno bags most of us have...

Very nice report. Thanks for sharing. You live in the most beautiful country I've seen. And I've only seen Seattle to San Francisco following the National Parks. Plenty more places in the US on my wish list (and now one more!)
