Rhino1 See http://www.v11lemans.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=17510 if you are interested.. Ended up going this route myself - not fitted yet though Regards

Does anyone know if the fairings as above are still available? Magni still list an aftermarket option here but have not yet emailed for prices/availability. I would be after a fairing in black or grey as the Ballabio paint scheme. If anyone has any idea please advise. Thanks

Thats a great line! I am currently going through exactly the same issues as you thebronze, hopefully this week getting TPS/TB sync'd/Fluids changed etc... Then some Mistral pipes/Stucchi crossover... hope it goes to plan

Bob Does the tail tidy work with the standard rear light/indicators or do you need to use the led because of the size? It's much neater than the standard rear end..... The weather here in England is generally bad so I would be needing to clean it more if I fit one!

Hello V11 people, Not sure if many of you have modified your rear ends to remove the plastic moulding under the seat, I am interested to find out how you have gone about doing it.. ie tail tidy or home modified I have attached an image of a lovely example of a clean back end to hopefully start the thread... Note : this picture has been borrowed from 'Jens.V11' see the pics thread http://www.v11lemans.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=5556&st=900

I wire brushed the corrosion and painted them with a matte black automotive paint.........turned out perfect ! Me too. Use fancy rattle can for brake calipers. Just noticed I need to do this again. Good call, will try this first...

Hello All Looking at my brake & clutch fluid caps they have seen better days, was thinking about getting some Oberon or similar replacement caps. As these are not listed for a V11 does anyone know of which bike shares the same cap threads as a Ballabio? They do look very similar to my old RSV Mille (first shape), I thought someone here would know Thanks!

It's a 2004 model then

Uh, I think you've got that backwards: the Mistral, being almost completely a phonic x-over, doesn't share muffler volumes so at high rpm/exhaust output, it's more choked than the Stucchi, which is a true x-over in the sense that both headers are joined & then split out again to the mufflers. Anecdotally, the Mistral fills in the hole better in the roll-on from low rpm [& will also allow fitment of the aftermarket ctr.-stand], while the Stucchi posts higher power peaks on the dyno charts & also functions better than the stock x-over down low [but no hope for a ctr.-stand w/ the Stucchi.] BTW, for the original poster: you sure about that year on your Billybob? AFAICR, all V11 production ended 2004: 2005+ models were leftovers since the factory was in limbo during the Piaggio takeover of Aprillia in that time frame... Thanks for all your answers, so far the Stucchi looks like the best option for sound but not sure if I want the bottom end to remain weak (if you can call it weak!) JRT In contact with dynojet here in the UK, will weigh up the cost of the PC3 once I have felt the difference the mods make with the standard ECU setup Tom Your spot on there, as far as I know the TPS hasn't been adjusted, throttle bodies sync'd or the valve clearances so I will get this done prior to modifying the exhaust/anything else. Skeeve Bike was registered here in 2006, so it will have been produced in 2004 by the sounds of it - how can I tell? Thanks again

Hello All First post here. Live in the UK & recently bought a 2006 V11 Ballabio which is totally standard and after a few hundred miles I need to improve the sound and the hesitation at the 2 - 3k rev mark if I can. Looking at the forum I cant tell what the best route is to go. Its not clear in some posts what year the bikes are from, and if they are already modified/standard. Please can you tell me if - - Crossovers will make any difference on their own (with 02 sensor) and if it will run on the standard ECU setup - If a power commander 3 is required, will it stop the hesitation or just assist? If anyone has any of these parts they want to sell to fit my bike please feel free to get in touch. Thank you
