al_roethlisberger Posted January 20, 2003 Posted January 20, 2003 Ouch... I can believe it! .... the stock bars have a pretty heavy rubber/steel insert. Just converting to lightweight tubular steel, especially if wider, could certainly exacerbate the vibrations al
Guest jeremy Posted January 22, 2003 Posted January 22, 2003 I have a set of one piece centauro bars with rubber mounts if someone would like.
jrt Posted January 22, 2003 Posted January 22, 2003 Hmmm, I just drilled out my upper triple clamp yesterday, and now I'm putting on bar clamps. I've heard the Centauro bars work well, but I'm gonna try some supersport bars first, since I bought the bar-clamp. Woo Hoo! Cheers, Jason

Guest Jaap Posted January 22, 2003 Posted January 22, 2003 I like the solution on the V11 Cafe Sport Click here >>
jrt Posted January 22, 2003 Posted January 22, 2003 I like the solution on the V11 Cafe Sport Click here >> It's pretty similar (or will be). I'm using the clamps from a V11EV. I'll take a picture.... here's the pictures: http://plasterbath.chem.uiowa.edu/triplecl...clamp/bars.html Cheers, Jason
profWacko Posted January 23, 2003 Posted January 23, 2003 I saw a similar setup on my friend's V11 Sport. Unfortunately, I need taller risers to do the same thing to my Le Mans. Anybody have any suggestions for them? Ride well. Ride safe. -Jack Price Glendale, CA 02 V11 Le Mans 01 KTM Duke II
Guest dkgross Posted January 24, 2003 Posted January 24, 2003 Yeah..the Cafe' Sport bar setup looks great.

I don't know the height, but I saw that someone had offered theirs on this board. I'm going to the motorcycle junkyard tomorrow morning. I'll scope out some different risers/bars to see what was available last 5 years. The saga continues, Jason
Guest russ Posted January 25, 2003 Posted January 25, 2003 It's nice to see that there are options. As a follow up the Verlicci ClipOns I got from MG Cycle are working out very nicely. I repositioned them under the top clamp and routed the cables inside the tubes and had the bars tapped to accept the end weights. All day comfy now, especially with Rich Maund's seat and the Eviluzione footpeg kit. Well worth it. Just over $500
Guest Buzz Posted January 28, 2003 Posted January 28, 2003 What do you think about the air dam ( chin spoiler) on the le mans in the Anima Guzzista web site. Does anyone have one installed ? Do you think it looks gay ? (sorry) Where do you get one? Buzz
al_roethlisberger Posted January 28, 2003 Posted January 28, 2003 Yes, it is quite gay ...sorry I couldn't resist.. heh heh But seriously , you asked... so... *personally* I don't think it looks that great in combination with the general styling of our bikes. The exposed engine, oil-pan and all... is part of "the look" in my humble opinion. But then again, I think chin-spoilers can look good on a variety of bikes though, for instance the OEM chin on my FJ-1200 looked quite good. But it's just a matter of personal taste, and if you think it looks snazzy... hey, go for it al
dlaing Posted January 28, 2003 Posted January 28, 2003 Buzz, if you want to use your bike as a guy magnet, the chin spoiler will only help a little. A Moto Guzzi is an excellent choice for picking up quality men, just be sure to keep your Guzzi clean. Chrome accessories help. If you just want get one night stands with easy to dump losers(Raiders Fans, etc.), get an FJ1200, a V-Max, or a Harley. Good Luck! (But don't forget to where protection when you go riding)
