Thanks, I'll check them out. I had heard that the Seattle dealer had closed, that's not them? They're ~200 miles from me, which would make it challenging. But if they sell parts that would definitely help.

po18guy Posted February 15, 2020 Posted February 15, 2020 According to Yelp, Portland Aprilia/Guzzi is DOA. https://www.yelp.com/biz/aprilia-moto-guzzi-portland-portland I think that gstallons' suggestion to contact Barnett is excellent. They make "one-offs" http://www.barnettclutches.com/cables.html 1
po18guy Posted February 17, 2020 Posted February 17, 2020 Sadly, we are such a niche within a niche market that only the old-school mom and pop dealerships had knowledge or concern about the "historic" bikes like the V11. I have had no contact with Optimum, but based on their site, it appears that they cater primarily to the hipster V7 Racer/V85 crowd.

swooshdave Posted February 18, 2020 Posted February 18, 2020 Yes, Portland dealer is toast. Rick is retiring. We still have several very active online sources for parts so the Guzzi community is fine for now. Sorry I didn't see this thread earlier, next time I'll have @docc notify me with an @swooshdave. 1
