Apologies if this was already posted elsewhere. Nice 20 minute documentary on YouTube. It's in Italian, but you can turn on english closed captioning in the upper right corner on YouTube. Sent from my Pixel 4a using Tapatalk

Mine arrived today as well - great stuff! Sent from my Pixel 4a using Tapatalk

I ordered a few of these today - nicest design I've seen so far. They have 80 other items with this design, from sweatshirts to duvet covers (surprise the wife!): https://www.redbubble.com/i/sticker/Moto-Guzzi-100-Years-by-GuzzistaVikings/69960271.JCQM3?ref=product-title&utm_campaign=2019_orderconfirmation_transactional_en&utm_medium=email&utm_source=RB&utm_term=44567697

So do you notice any differences with the new downpipes? Sound, responsiveness, etc?

Installed - I think it goes well with the Ghezzi Brian cf belly pan. Also, I'm offering a $5,000 reward for information leading to the apprehension of the %[emoji2400]@!! Individual who applied red Loctite to one of the 4 screws. 2 hours to finally remove with an impact driver that was askew by a good 15° due to the wheel in the way. Had to use the impact driver for more than half the length of the screw!

Just received mine from MDI, only took around 3 weeks. Quality is very good, plate indent is centered, and fastener tabs are very beefy - will not have any breakage issues (unless they are off-center and require the holes to be enlarged). Will post install photos, but initial report is great quality, especially for $80.

As Chuck said above, more wear on the left is common (when riding on the right side of the road) due to the slope of the crown of the road. I would expect the opposite to be true in the UK.

I'm planning to put the 3m clear film on it, and replace as necessary.

...no aluminum inserts, but the tabs are quite thick, so thinking should be ok.

Thanks Lucky Phil - will do!

I contacted MDI Carbon and ordered one of these today ($71, currently 15% off) https://mdicarbonfiber.com/products/ducati-moto_guzzi_1100_sport-alternator-cover This piece was originally posted by Docc (merci!), but I couldn't find that post to tag onto. Appear to be good quality. I was told they are 6 -7 weeks from shipping as they are special order and the factory is currently closed for 2 weeks holiday. So if you were ever thinking about getting one, now may be the time as they're dusting off the old mold.

I'm sorry for your traumatic experience, could take years of therapy to put that behind you - especially if you find yourself shopping for dew rags online.

So you literally just spun it clockwise and it came out? Did you push or pull while turning? You didn't have to take anything else apart? Why did you have to remove it?

My OEM reset knob on my '03 LeMans is in place, but has become essentially useless for resetting the trip odo. I also just received my replacement from MG, but the OEM pin does not seem to want to come out. I tried turning it clockwise (as it's reported to be reverse threaded), and just spins without backing off. I then tried counter-clockwise with the same result. It appears that whatever it is screwed into is also just turning, but without engaging the numbers dial. I guess it's time to take it apart unless someone has a simpler solution.

I just hope one of our EU members buys this so we can hear all about it!

Just saw this listed on Facebook Guzzis for sale. Holy crap.

When you have a moment Andy, could you please take a more clear close-up photo? It's difficult to see where the zerk is. Thanks.

Thanks again - all 3 cables have been ordered!

Thank you Docc!

Thanks Docc, yes that works. Now I'm looking for a working link to purchase the diagnostic cables. Thank you.

Hi Docc, Your links in your 1st post for Guzzidiag software and diagnostic cables don't seem to work anymore (they take you to the homepage). Can they be renewed, or could you please respond with where to locate those when you have a moment? Many thanks.

Removed a couple weeks ago from my 2003 Le Mans with only 15k miles on it. Works perfectly, selling because I upgraded to a Wilbers unit. $50 plus shipping to the lower 48.

Had a new Wilbers shock installed and fine tuned by Markbilt Racing (certified Ohlins Service Center). The shock was included with the purchase of my 03 LeMans. Rode 50 miles - nice improvement over the stock Sachs unit. The separate low and high-speed compression adjustments seem to make the most difference. It's much more compliant over bumps without losing overall proper firmness for cornering and heavy acceleration.

Well, they were open 3 weeks ago when I stopped in!
