Listed on Ebay UK it's in fair used condition and was fitted to my Nero Corsa when I bought it, £200 to members

Nice bike I've owned 2 Cafe Sports in the UK there's not many here, no problems on a late V11 except the gear shift spring will probably break at some point, there's an effective mod now using a coil spring

Check out Ghezzi Brian in Italy, 250 Euros to the UK

This was a Nero Corsa but don't worry it can all be reversed

Nice work Gritman having built a couple of V11 specials in the past I've got another one in my head that needs to be done, problem is after owning 10 V11s over the past few years I can't find a reasonably priced donor bike in the UK, been looking for 6 months but they are all asking silly money like the one on Ebay at the moment for £9k

Try removing the starter and give it a good clean up first

Not sure where you are in the UK but if you want to bring the bike to me I will run through the valves and the TPS with you

Probably easier to remove the swingarm

Looking for a V11 for a cafe racer project in the UK

Not even close, the 1100 Breva is a Carc transmission

I've never been able to grease the front joint without removing the swingarm which is easy once the wheel is out

Just thought I would say hello Yam, where do you live I'm in Malvern, Steve

You should be ok because as you say the early clipons fit below the top yoke but then rise up to about the same position as the later ones

Here you go, they are a graphite material, http://www.wemoto.com/parts/exhaust_gaskets_and_seals/page1_200/

I think that the pipes will fit at the heads but after that its all different, you will need the 1100 sport crossover or balance box and the silencers, not sure if the rear hangers are in the same place, then you won't have a hole for your exhaust sensor, so its not really an option, in the UK I can get the exhaust gaskets from a factor if I know the dimensions, they are universal fit parts, I was able to get some for my 1200 Sport for much less cost than Guzzi gaskets

I have a 2014 1200 Sport Corsa and I'm taking it to Spain and Portugal tomorrow for 10 days, yes it is an 8v but has been converted to roller tappets, it's a comfy bike for me age 60 and it will love the mountain roads, I've never ridden a Norge but I would think it would be more top heavy with all that extra plastic but much better wind protection, it's the same bike underneath so take your pick

Ventura rack system works well on the V11

Bad luck Stew, did you get their details to make an insurance claim or was it a hit and run?

Stew, the thermistor completes the earthing of the bulb so you will need a 12v feed to one side of the bulb and the other side of the bulb to the thermistor wire that is not earthed, ignore me if you have already tried this

I assume you have a clutch compressor tool

Martin, I did have the same problem with a V11 a few years ago, I think the gear lever occasionally used to stay in the down position until I released the clutch then it returned to where it should be, never did anything about it so can't help with a fix but it is a known fault

Just listed on Ebay UK, if anyone is looking 07976849955

HB1, I fitted them above the top yoke but you need to raise the tubes up as the Apex clamps are deeper than the stock ones, I also fitted the clamps facing back so the bars were closer to me, you may need to grind a bit of alloy off the top yoke casting as the riser may not pass down the side of it, the stock pipes will reach but you will need a longer brake pipe to raise them to the top http://www.v11lemans.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=18620&hl=apex here's a link to my original photos

Mark, just had the same thing happened to my old Greenie, the oil was everywhere, turned out to be the big breather hose that goes from the top of the crankcase to the spine frame at the steering head, it had split at the top end, £11 from Gutsibits.
