Need new levers

[MartyNZ]

A 'no speed' drop left me with a ... squished Ti can ). 

I know exactly how you feel.   

If you want to repair the can, there is a really helpful guide here:

The pictures are a victim of photo bucket price gouging, but the words may be enough. 

Drill out the end cap rivets at both ends, cut the silicon adhesive securing the glass wool, slip the skin of the can over a 100mm dia pipe or bar, and gently fettle back into shape. 

Easy.

Thanks Marty. I had heard of doing this so I did it as soon as I got home. I used a 4" iron pipe and a body hammer. Waiting on s/s rivets now. I'm glad I got to read that thread. I may add to it with some photos when I complete my very important mission. We like our Titanium.

For hand levers, I'm quite fond of the Pazzo shorty levers. I have them on the Scura (single-plate clutch) and the LeMans (normal, dual-plate clutch). They have very fine adjustments for position and have a good feel.

those look nice. I can't work out "folding" option on them. what is that? the shorties are the way to go

 

 

and... Pazzo does not list the V11... ?

 

 

Here's more on the Pazzo lavers, along with a list of bikes that use the same Brembo master cylinders as a V11:  http://www.v11lemans.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=19514&p=211559

 

Folding levers have a hinge; they will fold, rather than break on impact. I have ASV folding levers on my dirt bike.

Did somebody say *hammer* . . . ?

Would that my Deutsch could serve me any better . . .

 

Really great that MGCycle has these for us.

 

 

Me too Docc. I stumbled thru the site and only found this I could understand http://www.garagemotoguzzi.com/en/cool site

So, I ordered the folders ten days ago from GuzziTech. Payment processed same day. I also used their "Contact" service on their website same day to ask about modifying the levers to adapt the new pieces, expressing my concern and potential to cancel the order.

 

Anyway, ten days out and no reply, no pieces. I can't find any other contact options on their website. Anyone have the skinny on how I can get in touch with them?  (Not sure who is the principle there now; I recall they had some changes . . . )

 

Thanks, y'all!

GuzziTech in Santa Monica, CA? That's Todd, who used the name RacerX on this forum. 

[docc]

I'll try emailing him directly. Thanks!

by the time I got around to ordering the MGCycle brake pedal, they were out of both colors. I ordered the silver anyway. Gordon said they were in transit so shouldn't have to wait long. I put a splint on my broken one, so I can use till then. I will inspect the new pedal and appraise it for use with the "folding toes" asap.

[docc]

You ordered the folding toes, also?

[footgoose]

You ordered the folding toes, also?

No, sorry. I wanted to see the pedal arm up close first to see if the folders would even work. If it looks like they might, I may get 'em. If all goes haywire with your order, maybe they'll be available. ?

[docc]

Yeah, hoping to hear from Todd today . . . .

[docc]

Todd made a refund. Of course the toe piece is cast into the factory levers and would have to be removed and the lever drilled to fit these folding pieces.
