Route140 Posted May 21, 2009 Posted May 21, 2009 I recently bought a 2000 V11 Sport with what I think are Mistral aluminum mufflers. The emblems are missing leaving 2 unsightly holes where the rivets used to be. This very nice V11 Sport was for sale on EBAY recently. I think the mufflers are the same as mine. Does anyone know if & where these emblems are available? Thanks
Guest ratchethack Posted May 21, 2009 Posted May 21, 2009 I'd put pop rivets in the holes without emblems and consider it a cleaner looking muffler. BAA, TJM, & YMMV
Dan M Posted May 21, 2009 Posted May 21, 2009 I'd put pop rivets in the holes without emblems and consider it a cleaner looking muffler. BAA, TJM, & YMMV I'm thinking you'd rivet in a belt buckle.
Guest ratchethack Posted May 21, 2009 Posted May 21, 2009 Can't have unsightly rivets mucking up a pewter Guzzi belt buckle! Not big enough to cover both holes anyway.
jrt Posted May 21, 2009 Posted May 21, 2009 Those look like mistrals- I have the same ones, but I didn't have rivets in mine. They came with stickers Putting pop rivets in your existing holes sounds pretty reasonable. I doubt that the badges are available, but you could contact Agostini in Italy. I bet they could give you a definitive answer. I like the look of that little fairing. Is that from a Breva 750? Looks similar.
savagehenry Posted May 22, 2009 Posted May 22, 2009 Have you tried to contact Mistral, right from the line of sponsers on our home page, and "spice up your V11"?... Can't get 'em? Put on the "Fast by Ferracci" exhaust emblems at $5.00 each, and add a little Italian green/white/red to the mix...
Route140 Posted May 22, 2009 Author Posted May 22, 2009 Thanks for all the suggestions, I will probably fill the holes with rivets or I may try tapping the holes and putting in some button head screws.

stucatz Posted May 23, 2009 Posted May 23, 2009 I contacted Mistral directly back in march this year and they sent me a set of exhaust decals. Just send them an email to: info@mistralspecialparts.it attention Micheli and they will send you a set. Cheers
badmotogoozer Posted May 23, 2009 Posted May 23, 2009 The tag that used to be riveted on there was an aluminum plate that said in big letters "Off Road Use Only" which of course were immediately removed by owners, for obvious reasons... Cover/fill as you see fit, there is no pretty "Mistral" tag that went there.
