  1. That's a beauty..
  2. Agreed, there are a lot of Tonti people at WG. I can't imagine that there is any rocket science involved, though, but I've never had a Jackal fork apart.
  3. Never believe what you read on the internet. He spelled my name wrong, and it is over 50 years. I don't brake into the apex. Why? Because the speed limit is 55 in most canyon roads. I try not to break the speed limit by much. I normally come out of the corner accelerating (of course) and slow down on the straights. Flick it into the next corner, and add throttle all the way through the corner. It's fun, and keeps the pace at (mostly) legal speeds.
  4. From a guy that sez sleep's for the weak. You'd just need to suck it up and continue on..

    Ram Mount.

    Oh, I see what you did now. I'm a little slow..

    Ram Mount.

    Uhhh, I don't think you'll find what you want to find once you pop that little plastic cover off. From memory (always dangerous with me) the hex is for the jam nut that locks the steering head bearing adjustment. I don't remember any way to mount a ram mount on it..
  7. An Ohlins V11 is surprisingly capable..
  8. If Unkept sez so, I'd be awfully careful saying it's not so.. He's pretty good at searchin.
  9. I fooled with the Centauro for 2 years before I was happy with driveability. It definitely had more top end power with the stock crossover, but gave away everywhere else.
  10. Uhhh, how much gas is in the tank? I *love* the Lario, but they are hard to sell. A guy near me tried to sell his pristine Lario for $2500 for years without a nibble. I don't know what it eventually sold for. It takes a dedicated enthusiast to want one. The one I have showed signs of having blown up twice when I got it at 18000 miles. Because of this, heads are very difficult to find. They not only dropped (mostly) exhaust valves, they also wiped cam lobes. I *wanted* the one I bought, and gave $1700 for it as a runner, but it had already had the mandatory rear drive mod and valve mod done. It wiped a cam lobe 5000 miles later. I really enjoyed fooling with the 4 valve engine, but when an Aero engine became available, it became a no brainer to go for it. More power *and* reliability. So, what's it worth?? Whatever someone will pay. If yours is a stock original that needs completely gone through, I'll throw a dart and say a thousand. Your best bet would probably be to float it out on Ebay and see.
  11. Harper's shows the Billy Bob/Coppa fairing. Can that be made to work? I've never really considered it..
  12. I bet I could take off the seat fairing and lay my 30L Kriega back there... Hmmm... Yep, that's the way I camp with the Mighty Scura. Tent, sleeping bag, etc. tied to my 3Kg Guzzi rack and rear seat.

    Nope, not capitalized.
  14. That's the stock Guzzi rack. I've used one a fair amount. Nicely made. Gave one away last year.. sorry.
  15. Oh, I'm aware it's 3D printing.. but full 3D cad is a black art. That's not an *easy* part to program.

    Wat he said..
  17. Looks suspiciously like the Scura fairing to me. I think the Kid put some kind of Givi fairing on John's Greenie..
  18. Actually, in service, rings move around. Just give it your best shot, it'll be fine.
  19. Well, I'm impressed..
  20. It just depends. If I were you, I'd let it go until 30000km if neither one leaks. They will start leaking according to how dirty you let the sliders get, roughness of the roads you ride, or possibly phases of the moon. *If* they get to 30000, just smile and overhaul them. It's easy.
  21. As Scud mentioned, the Lemans fairing is not a deal breaker. I had a Rosso and Scura at the same time, and was more comfortable with the fly screen on the Scura.

  23. The Kid has the internals from a 5 speed helical box that you could have for the price of shipping and what he has in it. (shipping cost from Australia) Probably around $150 or so plus shipping Looks useable to me.
  24. Looks like it..
