Out of interest what details can you provide about the Mille forks and what was necessary to fit them to the V11. PM if you like or post.

The forks were installed by my mechanic many years ago but it was not a difficult job (it did require some custom shims).  I sold the old forks.  The handling of the bike was greatly improved (in my mind) in terms of both responsiveness/road grip and a more consistent front end feel when encountering bumps at lean in each direction.

Ok thanks. I'm just updating my forks with later units now and was interested in what other models would fit with minimum modifications. The Guzzi V11 forks are a bit unique in that they are quite long and have different guard mounts and the triple clamps are also around 15mm wider than most bikes which makes substituting different forks while maintaining the V11 style front guard more challenging. A V11 front wheel hub is also around 10-15mm wider than most bikes which makes a front wheel swap using the original forks more difficult as well without spacing the callipers or using different offset disks.

While I do wish you the best with the sale, @Bbennett, I also want to wish you the very best, personally. Another early Sport original owner and member here since 2004 (18 years !).  

Best regards, and don't be a stranger!

Am really hoping someone who is searching for his/her dream bike will discover this here on the Forum and I don't have to offer it on the open market e.g. C/L.

I am a huge Guzzi fan and always will be, this is one of my favorite bikes I've ever owned.

I never listed this bike on CL and continue to ride it.  Still technically available if someone who wants it contacts me.  I am in Seattle (link to pics above).

Cheers!
