scre103 Posted August 9, 2009 Posted August 9, 2009 Had a motorcycle magazine with an add for billit aluminum fluid reservoirs and can't find it, and it was a new startup company that was in the process of developing these reservoirs. They had one for the brakes but were in the process of developing them for the guzzi clutch fluid. they came in several colors. Does anyone know of anyone making these for guzzi's, in particular the v11 sport? thnx
gavo Posted August 10, 2009 Posted August 10, 2009 Nothing mentioned about guzzi's on there site http://www.rizoma.com/ but I'm sure you could find one to fit, nice bit of gear
luhbo Posted August 10, 2009 Posted August 10, 2009 Was it Rosso Puro maybe? www.rossopuroitalia.it Or the Rizoma TP016 / TP017? Look under "Universal". BTW, Rossopuro is crap. Their caps are unvented. Hubert
richard100t Posted August 11, 2009 Posted August 11, 2009 Make sure you dont get one of Rizoma's earlier reservoirs because they leak through the window.
CFMAW Posted August 12, 2009 Posted August 12, 2009 There are these: http://www.whaccessories.com/BrakeReservoirs.htm No info, but they look nice.
chamberlin Posted December 9, 2013 Posted December 9, 2013 Just sent WH Accessories an email... I'll let everyone know what they say, I really would like to replace the plastic ones on my V11 now. They don't have Guzzi specific applications, but I'm guessing since they do have Aprilia ones, that I'll be in good shape. (another thread resurrection!)
docc Posted December 9, 2013 Posted December 9, 2013 Or for our generation of Moto Guzzi: Ducati cross reference.
chamberlin Posted December 9, 2013 Posted December 9, 2013 Thanks docc! I don't think finding reservoirs will be too bike specific... but this thread did start out with an interesting statement about being compatible 'Guzzi" clutch fluid....hmmm or LOL? Could be a dangerous evening tonight... I just started searching eBay Italy, Germany, France and Netherlands... the prices are mostly *ridiculous*, and shipping is even worse, but there seems to be a lot more parts to choose from.
helicopterjim R.I.P. Posted December 9, 2013 Posted December 9, 2013 They even have a footpeg lowering kit for V11's ..... http://www.whaccessories.com/Foot-Peg-Lowering-Kit-KTM-Moto-Guzzi.htm
chamberlin Posted December 9, 2013 Posted December 9, 2013 thanks Jim! going to look into those as well (since I have the Jean Marc riser bars already)...thanks for the link!
chamberlin Posted December 10, 2013 Posted December 10, 2013 WH Accessories' response below...looks like a good company to deal with so far! Hello Joe Unfortunately, we don't have any Moto Guzzi's listed but you should be able to go with universal reservoirs. You can go for example with the V38 or V43, or the B38 reservoirs. From the pictures you attached, I can not say which brackets from what other bike might fit. They all come with a straight mounting bracket have to bend the bracket into position. If you could provide us with measurements of each bracket, we will try to match as close as possible. Please check http://www.whaccessories.com/BrakeReservoirs.htm You can use the same reservoir on left and right side or a mix between two different reservoirs. The 90 degree outlet rotates 360 degrees, you should be able to use any of these reservoirs. Thank you for your interest. If you have further questions, please feel free to contact us.

LowRyter Posted December 10, 2013 Posted December 10, 2013 WH? They are big in the Bandit world. Never thought about them for a V11 peg kit.
LowRyter Posted December 11, 2013 Posted December 11, 2013 got this info from Wild Hair regarding powering peg kits. Hello John The price starts at US$170.00 depending on peg style and color. Please check http://www.whaccessories.com/Foot-Peg-Lowering-Kit-KTM-Moto-Guzzi.htm We have to order the Moto Guzzi kits from Germany, shipping is an additional US$20.00, shipping time, depending on US customs is around 4-5 weeks. During Christmas time it might take a little longer. After you installed the peg lowering kit, it is recommended to adjust the brake and shift lever accordingly. If you plan to install the kit straight down, we recommend the 22 or 30 mm kit. The 50 mm kit might work but on most bikes, the adjustment of the levers is limited. Also, the pegs kits are also adjustable, every 45 degree is an adjustment. You can install a 50 mm kit for example, 45 degree to the back, the kit becomes approx. 25 mm lower, 25 mm back. If you have a shoe size around 13, you should be able to reach the brake and shift lever. I have shoes size 9 1/2 and for me, a 50 mm kit, 45 back is not comfortable. The levers are to far away. Thank you for your interest. If you have further questions, please feel free to contact us. Your Wild Hair Team Irfan www.whaccessories.com Phone & Fax 623-581-1994 Mon-Thu 9:30-5:30 PST
chamberlin Posted December 11, 2013 Posted December 11, 2013 Good stuff, thanks for posting. Now I have to make some decisions. At least I wear a size 13 shoe!
