Scud Posted March 11, 2016 Author Posted March 11, 2016 I paid my annual registration. It costs $40 extra per year to have a custom license plate. Worth it. 6
leroysch Posted March 14, 2016 Posted March 14, 2016 Oil change...and thank goodness I didn't have a 27mm anything to remove the access plate. Had a heck of a time getting the oil filter it to budge as it hung there in all its glory after removing the lower sump!
Gino Rondelli Posted March 14, 2016 Posted March 14, 2016 Oil change...and thank goodness I didn't have a 27mm anything to remove the access plate. Had a heck of a time getting the oil filter it to budge as it hung there in all its glory after removing the lower sump! Funny I changed mine 2 weeks ago, never seen an oil filter soooo tight , and that was after buying a socket for the filter pan, from now on sump removal every time because it's easy enough and you get to check for shit in the pan
moto fugazzi Posted March 14, 2016 Posted March 14, 2016 I put on Woodcraft clip-ons with 3" risers, Stelvio hand guards, and finished the mounts for the Ducati carbon fibre fairing I purchased. Ken A view of the clip-ons from the riders point of view. 1
moto fugazzi Posted March 15, 2016 Posted March 15, 2016 Vibes aren't bad, but the bar end weights for the Stelvio hand guards are huge and heavy. I've only ridden for about an hour with them, so I may have a different opinion after a few hours of riding. I'm also leaning forwards quite a bit more than I hoped, and I may go back to the handlebars...
docc Posted March 15, 2016 Posted March 15, 2016 Taking advantage of the longer evening hours, and the long way home from work, followed some of the beautiful winding area roads along the creeks and over the gentle ridges admiring the blossoming pear trees like great cotton balls or clouds along tended drives with redbuds dotting the edges of the woods with their bursts of purple . . . . . . and rolled over 98,000 miles on the trusty, willing Sport. What a lovely, excellent motorcycle! 1
leroysch Posted March 21, 2016 Posted March 21, 2016 Spent an embarrassingly long time trying to figure out where the cross brace on the HB attaches to the frame. Still not sure what direction it needs to "point", guess there's a 50-50 chance I'll be right the first time. Thought I'd never get one of the pipes between the cross-over and Ti can to loosen. Amazed me what a few drops of 3 in 1 oil and a few gentle mallet taps did. Went from not budging to sliding right off in a minute or so. Note to self: don't forget the anti-seize!

If you need pictures for the HB rack let me know.
leroysch Posted March 22, 2016 Posted March 22, 2016 Sure, if you've got some time, I'd be interested in cross brace pics and its orientation. Does the "open" side of the L shape that attaches to the existing bracket face forward or backward? It appears to me it can go either way. Email is leroysch@aol.com if you run into posting problems. Thanks!
toofat2fly Posted March 24, 2016 Posted March 24, 2016 I rode the Tenni to Roland at Spare Parts, It needs some attention by a Guzzi specialist. Josh was with me and we wasted a day in Philly looking at messed up "little kids" racing suits at Revzilla. Tried 4 jackets on and none of them fit. I promised to come back once I'm 100lbs lighter or 20 years younger. However we found out that one of the sales guys ride a GUUUUZZI!!!
Antiquar Posted March 26, 2016 Posted March 26, 2016 Went for a nice ride. Got a flat front tire pulling into my driveway. I couldn't have chosen a better time for it. I've got a Pirelli Angel GT on order.
footgoose Posted March 27, 2016 Posted March 27, 2016 Went for a nice ride. Got a flat front tire pulling into my driveway. I couldn't have chosen a better time for it. I've got a Pirelli Angel GT on order. I put an Angel on the rear and I like it. Don't know why, but it was a bit disappointing seeing it was made in China. Pirelli sounds Italian right?
