Seems like a very good price indeed, if you don't have to pay any other tax on top of that. The price in UK is £600 = €865. Your price is less than half and works out at £286. It would almost be worth buying as a 'second' exhaust system! A Stucchi x-over alone is £200: so crossover + cans + ECU = well over £1,000 while Quat-D at your price = £286, just over a quarter of that price. Buy a few for Christmas presents.

The church at Saul outside Downpatrick. Replica of an ancient Celtic church, built on the site of the stone barn used by St Patrick as the first Christian meeting place in Ireland. –>Pictures here.

St, Patrick's Day? Must be time to get the Lion out. Part of our parade section at Downpatrick.

That's contributing to global warming, that is.

What do you mean? Your headlight is on all the time?

It's a 'Martin Barrett' job then?

Yes to all of that. I'm still in shock as I thought that this stuff just wasn't going to be available again. New stock seems to have arrived in various places, so I presume that some will get through to the U.S.? I have to thank 'Guzzirider' Guy for posting an alert to new V.11 kit, on this site. I got the cans & crossover from Corsa Italiana in London: http://www.corsaitaliana.com/index.php?f=data_moto_guzzi&a=2 InMoto also has it in stock: http://www.inmoto.com/motoguzzispares.htm The kit was £720 + VAT = £846 The x-over was £200: a hideous price for a couple of bent pipes. Postage to me was about £10.

OK it's not as good as opening a box and finding an MGS-01 inside, but it seems pretty for now.

It's actually harder to find the spring numbers in the old posts (FAQ) than I thought. I'm sure that I posted them but I can't see where exactly. Baldini posted these: "Spring is listed as 04 23 83 00 Ratchet arm is listed as 04 23 51 01 My understanding is that this is the correct arm/boss. " I see there were more posts recently, in February. The picture becomes a bit more complicated as it seems that Andy York has found more variations in spring size and he gives a couple of different numbers for the ratchet arm. Grief. Just found it > Pawl arm oe part number: 04235101 Spring oe part number: 04238300 so that is the same as Baldini above.

I'm not sure that I believe it, but my Ti kit, crossover, filter & bits & pieces should be in a big cardboard box somewhere between England and my front door right now. I'll definitely believe it when I get the next credit card statement.

Where are you now? Did you find the spring number? Although I have never seen another V.11 on the road here in NI, I was talking to someone on the phone yesterday living in Portadown (he had been selling a Centauro, but that's another story...). He said his mate has a V.11 He asked me if I had any problems with 'the spring'! I asked him if he knew the cause of the problem and he told me about the oversized boss and binding spring coil. It transpired that he got the information from a web-site. Of course I asked him, which one? Well........ It was quite funny to hear of someone down the other end of the motorway who had been following the story here on the site.

The spring and other associated part numbers will be in the F.A.Q., where there's lots of info.

It's called a pea. Some people use it to think with. You should probably put it back in.

I have run with an open airbox and the standard paper filter since last summer with no problems. Compared to the exposed pods that so many have fitted, the airbox filter is well out of the weather.

Well done – very helpful. How far away from Dublin do you reckon this is, i.e. for people arriving off the ferry or meeting there, how long would it take to get to the meet site?

TX was in town?

No, not a soul. If you look closely you'll notice that there isn't even anyone on the motorbikes that have been caught in the pictures.

You got it (nearly). Strips doors quicker than you can say, "a soft winds blows off Lake Como, must hang out the washing".

From Tom's – " Flexilis, a wireless think tank,... " So that's your next ploy Al? You fancy moving up to a wireless think tank? What's the capacity? Does the pump fit internally? Does it suffer less from reverse suction double inlet-outlet vortex effect? Does it still have a 'secret reserve' in the right side or have they mastered that problem? We look forward to further blow by blow reports when you fit it.

Ah. The postman finally arrived.

You mean like this guy? " A Wireless Long Shot by Rob Flickenger There has been plenty of talk about the range of wireless Guzzis, so we decided to find out how far we could stretch it. This series of articles tracks our progress in trying to use the V.11b protocol to create a link from Sebastopol to a hilltop tower 20.9 miles north, and from there on to some homes 5 miles across a valley. In this first installment, we try out the 5-mile link and create an experiment to test the loss we would encounter on the 20.9-mile link." Before he went wireless, this Guzzi fanatic tried exhaustive experiments with wired cans. The tin ones worked pretty good once he dialed in the right map to his PC. Titanium was an unexpected flop. He later sold this design idea to Quat-D.

'til you replace them with paperclips

Painted :!: Martin Barrett worked for Apple!!!!! hmm...I never saw one in the (painted) flesh, but happily I am tapping at a lovely new (clean) aluminium Pbk. I could never understand why the titanium got damaged so easily – so that's the explanation – Painted :!: The titanium caused problems for the 'wireless' transmission/reception too I think? Painted :!: So it seems the precedent has been set and maybe I can paint those ti cans so that they tone in with the Scura.

NO, NO! Don't do that! You would undermine the whole ethos of this thread. Never mind the quality, feel the width.
