Keeping a close watch on ebay .  It may be a while before one shows up. Discontinued so there are no new ones available anywhere.

Was one on Kleinanziegen.de for quite a while, 2-3 weeks to late. Check there to.

Cheers Tom.

Fender found! Thanks Scud!

And....what are you gonna do w/the cracked fender ?

[audiomick]

Gaffer tape it back together, and sell it on E-Bay.

[gstallons]

How much "pre-eBay" price ?

I have the small portion that broke out of it. I'm going to try and see if I can repair it without it standing out too much.

17467k $. . First thought, nææh he is not selling, checking the market. Around 10k for a V low mileage is fair.

Cheers Tom.

Hmm, USD$17.5K is just testing the market. $10k for a v low mileage Coppa is a fair price, given the rarity of the machine

My greenie has a cracked front fender. Before I try and repair it with gaffer tape & loctite, can anyone advise if an aftermarket carbon fender was ever made for the Marzocchi forked V11s ? I suppose finding a carbon fender suitable for one of the Marzocchi forked specials like the Scura will be akin to finding a golden unicorn

I don't know for sure, but I have the impression that the front mudguard had the same form for all models, regardless of which forks were used. Have a look at these parts diagrams and the part numbers (the first four digits are all the same) and decide for yourself.

What I'm getting at, if you should find a hen's tooth CF V11 Mudguard, it seems to be a fair risk to buy it and see if it will fit. Given that they are so rare, you should be able to off-load it again, if it doesn't fit, sooner or later.

 

As an aside, I believe @Lucky Phil has a carbon fibre mudguard on his hybrid monster greenie with the V10 motor. Maybe he will chime in and tell us where he got it?

I have a cf front mudguard on my Ballabio it was new old stock for a rosso Mandello, the only model with marzocchi forks with a cf mudguard, the bike is for sale if you want the mudguard but you’ll have to buy the bike

Hello Steve, I’ve seen your Ballabio for sale and it looks terrific with a carbon bellypan & mudguard. Unfortunately I’m not currently in the market for another V11 as I’ve only just bought a Coppa Italia which has brought my V11 collection up to a somewhat crazy 6 bikes 

Thank you for confirming that the Rosso Mandello was the only marzocchi fork model with the factory carbon mudguard/ fender. I think it’s unlikely there’s any new old stock still out there 

Good luck with you sale 

[Steve S]

Thanks, the Ballabio also has cf side panels from a cafe sport, ghezzi Brian rear hugger and belly pan and Mistral high level cans, all expensive and difficult parts to find these days

If I hadn’t just bought the Coppa, I would be interested in buying your Ballabio. Riding a V11 with bars instead of the usual clipons is quite a revelation for us oldies

I’ve bought and sold about 15 over the years and they are never easy to sell in the UK , just bought a 2021 BMW R nine T and loving it, asking £4K for the Guzzi

£4K for the Guzzi Ballabio is great value. I suppose they’re not easy to sell here as Guzzi’s generally are a niche bike, and the majority of motorcyclists don’t really know anything about them. Also bear in mind that the bike market is very slow at the moment, & prices are down compared to what they were a couple of years ago (so everyone tells me)

I’ll be looking for a low miles used V85 during Jan 2025, & selling my 2001 VMax 1200 (another niche bike) Probably wait until next Spring to sell the VMax in the hope that there’s more activity in the market then
