docc Posted June 9, 2017 Posted June 9, 2017 Ok, so, swooshdave, this came up in the Zinc Chromate thread: a black V11 sport with the green frame of the 1000S . . . http://www.v11lemans.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=19689&p=214814 Take some pics of your bike and do this thing, man! *V11/S*
docc Posted June 9, 2017 Posted June 9, 2017 If I had a second V11 Sport (why would I do that? Scud, help me out here, buddy!), I might would go after the green frame/ black body. Maybe even take a shot at the stripe set. Haven't seen that done . Yet . . .
Scud Posted June 9, 2017 Posted June 9, 2017 If I had a second V11 Sport (why would I do that? Scud, help me out here, buddy!) Because when you go on a "fun" ride you take the one with the freshest tires. When you zip around for errands or take a long, straight trip, you take the one with older tires. Or when you're working on one, you can take your time and ride the other. 2

swooshdave Posted June 9, 2017 Author Posted June 9, 2017 I don't know if the V11 tank will work with graphics, it's quite, ahem, bulky. You'd almost want to fade the stripes before it get to the bottom. Regardless it would make an interested option.
footgoose Posted June 9, 2017 Posted June 9, 2017 I like it. I'm a little surprised. It works just like that. Yes, nice job SDave.
Chuck Posted June 9, 2017 Posted June 9, 2017 It's not working for me. Nice job though Dave! My thoughts, too.
docc Posted August 20, 2017 Posted August 20, 2017 When I said something about a RedBellySport, a good buddy said something about Woody-the-Farking-Woodpecker . . . How about a flame red fairing?
Gmc28 Posted March 1, 2021 Posted March 1, 2021 On 5/8/2017 at 7:03 PM, docc said: AFAIK, there is no designation in the VIN or tag on the V11 that declares the original color. Now, getting the V11Green correct is another matter. Word is, the code is cracked, though . . . Pretty cool seeing my Sport parked on the Cherohala in V11Green! Thanks for the cheap thrill, swooshdave! Docc, you note the green paint color match here.... I’m still poking around searching the forum, but is there knowledge on a good paint code option to match the green? Trying to figure out how hard it will be to repaint just the tank on a greenie. 2
docc Posted March 2, 2021 Posted March 2, 2021 Generally, it is known as "Legnano Green." It has been used on things other than Moto Guzzi (ie:bicycles). Even the different Guzzi do not look exactly the same (V7 Telaio Rosso vs V11 Sport). We have had a couple members post formulae to achieve the V11 color. Let me see if I can shake down any links . . . edit: here's one at guzzitech from a web search referring to a Nissan paint: https://www.guzzitech.com/forums/threads/cracked-v7-café-classic-paint-code.6524/ This from Bikecolours in UK. He states it is available in aerosol: https://www.ebay.com/itm/3-STAGE-MOTO-GUZZI-TOUCH-UP-PAINT-KIT-V11-SPORT-INJECTION-1997-2003-LIME-GREEN/261274617752?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649 1
