I like these, only the 'lane splitter' version. got em on my Yammie. probly put em on the Sport

We'd all do without mirrors if we could. too bad we need to see back there. many of the subtle ones are useless, and many vibrate. the stocker's are awful but work. someone invent a curved, pan rear view heads up display with perfect lighting please.

I wonder why Guzzi can't just bite the bullet like BMW did and lose the shaft for belt on a bike like this? At least to see how it worked at PD.

Triumph "Coppa Britannia"?
footgoose replied to po18guy's topic in Special place for banter and conversation
I could see myself saying the same thing... and I did acquire a a small (850) triple. Yamaha FJ09. A great revving and glorious sounding motor. Just something about a triple. -
I have the same one. That's a good deal on a great jacket

Anyone wear Daytona boots?
footgoose replied to Kane's topic in Special place for banter and conversation
I have what docc has. Good boot. If I ever replace, I'll look into a bit more crash protection. -
Welcome Kindoy. Very nice couple of bikes you've acquired. Welcome to the Guzzi adventure. Can't wait for some sunshine photos of those true beauties.
-
the links are clickable TJ, and with a few extra pics at the ready, and enlargeable. any of the other bikes yours? Welcome btw
-
Very nice. Will be a great find for someone.

thanks for 'splaining that Chuck. Just to clarify my definition of 'engaged' .. I mean the clutch plates are engaged, as when the hand lever is let out. Tinus, I missed the mark twice with your bike. I'm just wanting to remind all concerned of the unique differences in the RM. Not sure what to say re: your rattle. My dual plater is fairly quiet at idle. I do hear a bit of clatter, like in knubnutz's video, but the real 'rattle' comes when I pull in the lever. Not Ducati level rattle, just clearly more. I experience the reverse with my single plater.
-
interesting indeed. nice exercise in punkery. I'm still trying to figure out what it 'was'. engine looks newer than the frame. 500ish cc Honda? the adjustable riser upper tree is a new one on me.
-
ahh, thanks for the memories docc
-
welcome Doug. great bike great 'handle'. I am with you there! though I did just buy a triple.
-
I will venture to say Tinus89 is used to the rattle a Rosso Mandello single plate makes when clutch is engaged in neutral and quiet when lever is pulled, and knumnutz has a dual plate which is quiet when engaged in neutral and rattles when lever is pulled.
-
True that. But Tinus89's Rosso Mandello has a 'red frame', but black. The RM has an early frame. The exception to the red frame- black frame differences.

"mid engine-gearbox-frame mount " ??? you added this piece?
-
Thanks for the sweet music knumbnuts
-
"angry voice" I like that. beautiful bike as well
-
easily the most design appropriate and best looking silencer for the V11 Sport/LM.
-
so.... how long does 'it' take?

Something to bear in mind with cans that have the mid-pipe welded on and are made for low (standard) mount, ...they can't be mounted high. Raising involves turning, which pushes the can outward as it goes up. For high mount cans get them already made as high mount fitment. A separate mid-pipe could always be made for a 'slip-on' if one wanted to pursue that, it's about a 46 degree bend. The MG Ti cans/kit are separate and mount either way. Stucchi is a great xover, well built. I run one. Mistral is very well built as well and is a favorite. FBF makes an ok pipe and some have noted weld cracks. Mine did not crack running for several years. I switched because it didn't have the central (under tranny) exhaust system mount bracket and I didn't want to put all that weight on my new Ti cans/hangers. Basically that stress is why they crack. If FBF is all you can find or if cheap enough, you can always reinforce it and add the mount point. They are a lighter gauge pipe than the other as well I believe.

welcome back! For myself, a good xover and MG Ti cans do the trick. Basically a straight through glass pack. Loud when you're on the throttle and as loud as I want it. There is a beautiful depth of sound at idle and at rpm's consistent with average riding.
