Cleaned up rear end with stock lights

[Bruce Reader]

I'd buy one if the price was right

 

Cheers

Same here.

 

Greg - did you ever get a workable template and do you have any plans to create and stock these at MI?

[WitchCityBallabio]

The fender and hugger elimination looked terrific at the IMOC yesterday Joe!

 

I'll be patiently waiting for your next run.

Dittos Joe! Put me on that list also.

I tried to send you a PM, but your inbox is full. LOL

I made a new template with a CAD program, and can send it to you with dimensions. I wonder if there is a market for these things? Joe

 

Well, if there's not a big enough market to justify going into production, how about posting the CAD template to the forum for those who're willing to cobble up their own?

 

Great work, whichever route you choose to go!

Here's Joe's bike at the IMOC looking just gorgeous without all that plastic!

[JoeV11]

OK, OK I'll get a half dozen blanks cut out and then I can finish a batch and start selling them. Keeping in the best Moto Guzzi tradition, it'll probably be a few months before they are ready.

 

The IMOC was a lot of fun, and it was great meeting the guys from the forum. We'll have to do this more often. The bikes are even better in person than in avatars. Waspp even won a trophy! Congrats...

I hated all that junk, too! This is an early R1 integrated tail light with hand crafted aluminum license plate holder.

Well, since everyone is showing their butts off.

I added a triangle thingy to keep the rooster tail off my back when its wet.

[WitchCityBallabio]

Well, I removed my Hepco & Becker luggage rack ('til next years trips) and while I was at it, removed the hugger too. The bike looks so much better without that piece of plastic covering half the rear wheel.

 

Unfortunately, where the hugger runs over the frame piece to the swingarm, it had obviously vibrated over the course of 20,000 miles and rubbed a bit of paint off and was starting to rust, so it looks like I'll be spending the weekend repairing that, and removing all the stickers that they put under there.

 

It might be worth it for those with older, or higher mileage V11's to remove that hugger once in a while and clean and inspect for chafe on the frame from it. I also noticed when I took it off, there was a fair amount of road dirt stuck up in there.

[jrt]

If you ever sell the bike to anyone on the other coast, they'll need the stickers to prove that the bike meets EPA requirements. If they're missing, it's a real PIA to license.

Here is mine aprilia 250 rear light

That looks nice!

[Guest frankdugo]

look's good joe, any updates? how about some pic's of what you did with the front directionals.

[JoeV11]

Hey, Thanks for asking. I got another plate cut on the water jet machine - I messed up the dimensions of the first one - and will be making another mount soon. If that one works I will make a half dozen more and make them available.

 

The front signal lights were cleaned up by simply removing the spacer that is there. You need a couple of metric screws to replace what's there if I recall, or maybe nuts? It'll be apparent when you take it apart.

 

It's tough to get anything done around here once summer arrives - we have to stuff a whole year's worth of outdoor activities into three months.
