As I suspected Stucchi have stopped making them, I did have a set of moulds but a guy in the States bought them from me, not sure if he has produced any units, he may shout up if he sees this.

I got one from Stein Dinse and on their website it is still listed but out of stock but has a delivery time of 2-8 weeks, send them an email they speak English

Hello and welcome, it looks like a repainted Rosso Mandello as the engine and the forks are black, standard 2001 bikes had silver engine and forks, the wheels should be graphite, the Mandello also had the carbon fibre clock surround, the tank should be red, the silencers look like Mistrals

I've gone for the MRA screen which I fit for long trips, it's an improvement but not so good to look at

Hello Tony, have to ask, what happened to the fairing?

That looks like a bottle of Chianti and a long lunch "weld". and why is it made up of 10 bits of pipe when 2 would do it?

My mate had one of these on his Scura and after welding it up twice he has junked it and gone back to the stock one, I recently bought a Mistral item and that was a loose fit on all four pipes and wouldn't tighten up so that went on Ebay, the stock collector is stronger and offers very little restriction. It's a long way to send it back so if you want to keep it get it welded

I'm looking for a pair of standard C/F Lafranconi exhausts in good condition

Listed by me on Ebay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/251648517459?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649

6mm I think, but how have they been lost there's a plastic cover that would trap them, if you are stuck and want the dimensions I can take mine apart

54mm Marzocchi and Ohlins

Here's some more photos with the bars at their highest as requested by power685

I only have the left one which is to drain water and spilled fuel from the filler aperture so needs to go down by the starter and to the ground, the right hand one is just for tank venting so not so important to have a hose fitted, if you haven't checked them they are probably blocked up anyway.

We went earlier in the year so the factory was working but all that was on offer was a one hour look around the museum at about 4pm, so you may be out of luck in August, also in Mandello is Agostinis shop so that's worth a visit.

Correct Docc the VIN shows 04 manufacture and it was registered in the UK in May 05

The 05 bikes had a different tank with internal fuel pump and minus the black pad I used Goodridge Build a Line kit for the longer brake hose and I would be surprised if the clutch hose won't reach, it's tight but it will work, the Balabio or Cafe Sport hoses will be longer if you can get them. I still have the Convertibars for sale if anyone can use them in the UK

It is usually said that if the exhaust gas is getting out quicker then you need to put more fuel in, and you will need a Power Commander or similar device to do this, I have never bothered to go this far, as changing the exhaust is normally just for looks and sound for me, on previous V11's I have tried ditching the airbox and fitting pod filters but it never seems to make it go any better, you will find that when you fit the Mistral x over it will be even louder, your bike will be spinning up a bit faster but maybe loosing torque due to lack of back pressure.
