It's always good fortune to be satisfied with something as it is. Not always an easy place to get to, for myself anyway. But.. I can't resist intake and exhaust upgrades on every bike I own.

I don't see any RAM clutches but this at MGCycle, and it's for 5 speeds. Which are you looking at? http://www.mgcycle.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=193&products_id=1698

...and I shall follow your progress

great looking gauge! vintage? maybe just the bracket?

Great looks for sure. I like the valve covers and head guards, which ones are those? Maybe a different angle of ones I've seen before?? What is that kick stand? Running a slopper plate now/still?, seems like it may be more helpful with the extra oil. so.. how much oil capacity? Is that the oil filter protruding? Tokico caliper? GSXR front end? Sorry, just so much in the pic. I like the naked sub frame looks too. (has anyone else's emoji menu gone crazy?)

January 2000

My "early" 2000 Sport's P/O was a very finicky 'die hard' as well. His records indicate fading "side plates" and he had them powder coated. I thank him.

Nice.. I'd love to see the Pan Tom.

Another advantage to using the oem (later, no rise) clipons, is they are built to reduce vibes. The end weight bolts far up inside the bar, in rubber, not out on the end like most weights. Comparing the '02 LM with the '00 Sport, the sport bars present slightly higher and approx 3/4" further forward than the '02. Also consider the length of your forks. My '02 oem are approx 30 1/4" (off bike) top of tube (not cap) to center of the axle. The '02 with '03 Ohlins installed, sloppy measure on the side stand is 30". The Sport same measure is 29 1/2". The '02 has about 3/4" up thru the top tree, or the thickness of the clipon bracket.

wow, a live, in the flesh, in your face, actual troll. I call mine, in most similar circumstances, a Moto Gootsie. If we get past that, it's a V11 Lemans, beyond that, Stefania.

Re photos, just fyi, and I've had this happen before. all good pics on my desktop Win 10 using firefox. no luck on my iphone. "DW" ... doting wife? yes, bumper stickers of any kind ... not a good idea

... a thought I often find myself sharing in everyday living, though not as eloquent.

I like it. You going to do a batch?

I can rustle up an oem one if you want it. Take what time you need to find one you really want first. It'll be here for a back up plan. The smallish cf's look so good

this possibility is exactly why I haven't bought it. It's 2000 miles away and I like to put eyes and hands on my bikes. This thing could be the deal of the century, but I'll have to find out vicariously.

if you have access to rafters, I have used ratchet straps to tie off above, and suspend the bike. also, if you've not done it, removing the fairing is easier than one might think. that puts it out of the way and safe.

I wish I spoke Italian, But for those who don't .... there is a tiny tiny Brit flag just under the tool bar. Click to translate, and then click Route 1. Scroll to Moto Guzzi. It is the evolution of the Guzzi logo from inception. Good stuff, thanks meticcio

it's on ebay as well https://www.ebay.com/itm/2000-Moto-Guzzi-V11/123933392343?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649 the unusual thing is, it has 60 watchers! 60!

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh............ yes, ..most certainly. And the green, I suppose, ....could be considered, in future,.... a "replica" color scheme, and be less desirable.?. In any scenario, black will be the black sheep no doubt.

Are there build numbers lurking somewhere, by color? Dumb question.... of course there are! but can they be found? I'm pitifully addicted to searching the 'guzzi for sale' and see mostly green ones, half as many silver, and rarely one in black. I would envision many years from now, the green being the most sought after color, because of the homage to the original.

looks like a good one. you should give her a home

these come up for sale every so often for 3 - 5k (reasonable in my world) I'd like to have one

thanks Marty. "tank strap" whodathunkit? I knew you knew by those lovely Ti hangers you made for me. They are still 'in waiting' for that special project I have yet to get to. This winter lay-up, I promise. My oem Ti can ones are getting a bit wimpy and need to be replaced. This is needed I think, to tighten up the sloppiness that can cause can damage at the strap. Will be in touch for sure if I need you. Thanks again

that appears to be it, but out of stock and no size choice thank you sir
