stogieBill Posted February 25, 2008 Posted February 25, 2008 Don't take the comments too seriously ALdad, We're all a bit quirky around here. By the way, what mirrors are you running, and where'd you find them?

Here it is at the 2004 national: That said, I really like the look of whast you've done with the Parabellum. Just not sure I want all that hanging on the forks.
ptrkbeam Posted February 26, 2008 Posted February 26, 2008 I like that. Have thought about getting bars and a different screen - back, wrist issues. Yeah, I know, should get an EV or something. Or a Stelvio?

Or a Stelvio? Stelvio will probably be the ticket for most. My buddy loves his multistrada. Still, for making the V 11 more civil - the parabellum looks like a nice option. Frank Wedge did a lot more than jsut bars and add-on screen. the pegs are lower and more forward as well. A real "gentleman's" sport tourer - but a very nice ride from all accounts. I like seeing people use the spine for a touring platform. I think it's still their best handling - and certainly lightest - big bore Guzzi ever.
ptrkbeam Posted February 26, 2008 Posted February 26, 2008 Yes, Pierre. I've seen something from Motratech to get the feet a bit farther forward. Any other options for the pegs? Have the Buell pegs now. A grand or so spent on the LeMans may be my ticket for now. Stelvio in a year or two ( + a lot more $ ). Again, Aldad - nice job. I went back and read you original post.

The mirrors are MFW http://www.mfw-wolf.de/index.shtml Get them from eurotech http://www.eurotechmotorsports.com/ Fantastic visibility. Get the blind spot.
