    Cracked mivvs

    Alright All, can i get opinions on this? I ordered some new silencers from mivv and when they (eventually..) came i noticed a couple of cracks in one of them. See pix below. Obviously they are purchased 'new', but will they be ok? Worried these cracks just likely to grow and grow with use. Should I be concerned?
  2. I had that when i over-tightened the shift lever.
  3. If your main concern is reliability...... Get a honda. No, really, or a kawasaki- they're awesome bikes.
  4. Admittedly i live in ol' blighty, but i find 70-80mph to be a delicious place to be on my unfaired v11...
  5. Looks gorgeous on your nero mate
  6. No probs. No, not goin tut staff meet- unfortunately Wednesday neet is quiz neet at the local pube. We won second last week so have ten quid behind the bar. :0) ... hic ...
  7. I've got a balliblio handle bar going spare cabs, give us a shout if interested. Incidentally, i've just gone the opposite way: Renthal ultralow off and tarozzi high rise clips on. The renthal was ace, very comfy and you can tweek the forks up n down in the yolks for satisfaction- just 10mm either way seemed to make quite a difference.
  8. Hmmm, loose batt terminals? Plugs not tight? Crudded up fuel filter?? Split intake rubbers??? You will also be asked when you last checked the tps...
  9. Mmm, that is nice. Something funky going on with the speedo drive?
  10. From those pix it looks in great nick for a 12yo. They're lovely bikes, hope you bond well!
  11. Off-roading eh? Got a sound vid at all?
  12. Nice v7. I went down to the guzzi shop the other day- the paint jobs are lovely on yhe new machines. Sat on a griso....
  13. Some folks seem to drive around only half aware.... They should learn to ride motorbikes, that'd sharpen up their observation skills!
  14. Anyone got an idea on duty charges from oz tut uk?
  15. eeperpro after the sachs emptied itsen
  16. Is there something holding it off slightly (battery? Toolkit?)
  17. Hmm dunno, the hanger is welded on and the joint weld runs on the inside too. That repair thread is great, not sure if ive the time, or skills, to repair mine- the damage is quite bad.
  18. I've never fitted the bally fairing that mine came with- it looks hideous, but i tried a small puig jobby, it was awful over 70mph due to shooting air straight in me mug.
  19. Yeah he stopped and was fairly contrite about it. Initially he wanted to settle it there&then but i pointed at the can and said 'they cost over 650 quid'. Plus the bike landed on my helmet... His insurance has accepted and handed over to the claims company. I await a response.
  20. Someone reversed into her while she was parked up by the road.
  21. Those mistrals i have are superb quality- beautiful sound and not bling at all.
  22. Heh! Do it! Film it, post the vid! And er... Ouch- wishing you a good recovery.
  23. Sir has good taste in bikes! Love those trx's, i looked at acouple before settling on my v11.
