tripletango Posted May 9, 2006 Posted May 9, 2006 My beautiful V11 Cafe Sport is being checked out by Mike at MPH just to make sure all is well after being crashed by my bro. and being put back together by me. I did not have enough confidence to mount the new clutch master cylinder so he is doing that. (never worked on hydraulics) He is checking bike for alignment and tune etc. after my install of M4s and Power Commander. First time I ever did anything to any of my bikes! Actually enjoyed fiddling around. Anyway questions for the enlightened. Is there a carbon flyscreen that fits the CS anywhere in the aftermarket. There is a carbon seat cover advertised on ebay - anyone tried it? In addition has anyone yet received the carbon tail section, i think benguzzi was getting one. Love my V11, so much so I am selling my 05 Triumph Speed Triple! That hurts but would like a KTM supermoto or Ducatti Supermotard one of these days!
Steve G. Posted May 10, 2006 Posted May 10, 2006 Well, you went to the right guy that's for sure. Mike knows his stuff. Ciao, Steve G.
DeBenGuzzi Posted May 10, 2006 Posted May 10, 2006 I'm getting a tailpeice. but next year now, I got a Guzzi helmet a new battery, the baby dyno tuned and all the oils changed. That racked up the budget way too fast. They make a Buell Carbon fly screen I think looks a little better than the guzzi one. Well I have a picture of it but I am on the wrong computer. I'll post a new pic or two of what I have done. but its getting to be a lot. CRG levers, Gold resivor caps, Rich maund seat (might get it recovered the colors don't fit) Buell flyscreen, Buell blinkers, Buell pirelli scorpion tires, FBF cans, FBF X-over, PCIII, Hawker battery, K&N pod filters, Edge mud guard, Manic salamander bar end weights, Fancy tank guard, Carbon fiber chin guard(the former rubber peice on top of the tank), fancy softer grips, who knows probably forgetting something Would like a CF seat cowl, Pauls tail and the seat recovered, also getting the tank painted like the rosso mandello sometime. tank bag would be nice too. just missed out on one in the classifieds.
DeBenGuzzi Posted May 10, 2006 Posted May 10, 2006 oh yeah fancy ealge engine guards...I think thats it.

DeBenGuzzi Posted May 12, 2006 Posted May 12, 2006 Sounds great where did you get the items that are not Buell bits? 88911[/snapback] Thats a long awnser, I got the levers from Manley Cycles. They know their guzzi's there http://www.manleycycle.com/products.htm I got the K&N's from K&N a simple search will bring them but unless you like the looks of the pods I don't recomend them. I recomend the FBF airbox kit. The cans and crossover I got from FBF I paid a chunk less when I got them they appear to have gone up $200 http://www.ferracci.com/store/cart.php?m=product_list&c=125 The seat I sent to Rich Maund. HE does a GREAT job and any way you want it. http://www.geocities.com/rgmaund/RichsCycl...ryHomePage.html I got the bar ends from Manic Salamander and they're top quality. really got rid of the vibes http://www.manicsalamander.com/ PCIII I got on ebay but I recomend this one, Comes with a good fit map and they'll work with you if you actually buy it from them. http://www.guzzitech.com/PCIII-15M.html MG will have a lot of what you need also. http://www.mgcycle.com/parts.html You can get a nice buell carbon screen here its $150 http://www.magicalracing.co.jp/Products/screen_en.html but I Got mine on ebay for $100 Harpers will have lots of stuff you need also http://www.harpermotoguzzi.com/ Get the neato FIN GUARDS here, I wish I would have gotten the ones that are cut out looking back but mine are nice too. http://www.swva.net/jkenny/ maybe you want to beat me to it and get a nice alum tank? http://www.thetankshop.com/ if you want fancy valve covers or velocity stacks, maybe oversized valves you can go here: http://www.sportcyclepacific.com/featureditems.htm dont like buell signals? try these http://www.sportcyclepacific.com/featureditems.htm these guys can restore your guages http://www.paspeedo.com/index.htm besides those to keep you busy I looked on ebay a lot and talked with some long time bloggers on here. I wish I could find that trick dial I'm going to get when my guages crap out on me like they certianly will be the motor stops working. Zeb has it on his bike. Me wantie me wantie. Anything else you need help with let me know. I'll see what I can dig up.
Greg Field Posted May 12, 2006 Posted May 12, 2006 DeBen: I think there's an RM tank just hanging in the service area at Moto International. If it's something you're interested in, I can pull it down and assess the condition for you. TT: Also, I've got a Guzzi carbon fairing I might be willing to part with. To put it on a Cafe Sport requires some parts, though. I have one on my Billy Bob and another on the shelf in the "gay raj" (long story of Aprilia/Piaggio/Guzzi incompetence), so I can tell you what parts you need. For that matter, the Havens have done it, too, so they can give you the list. As for nice stuff to do to your bike, the thing I think made the biggest difference on my bike was more comfortable foot controls. The Motobits ones make a huge difference in comfort, shifting, and tunable braking.

And I hope its my tank that is oversized. otherwise I'll add something to adjust my steering lock because the forks touch the tank as in they turn too far, have you heard of this b4? I wouldn't want it to rub a spot off like it did on my tank. Also I can see the bubbles forming, who knows how long till they break off

DeBenGuzzi Posted May 17, 2006 Posted May 17, 2006 Hey Ben theres an oem rosso mandello gas tank on ebay right now if you want one. Btw its brand new. 89486[/snapback] Thanks for the heads up. I'm bidding on it now. That would be so trick!!! BTW hands off, I can't really afford it I just won't tell the wife. and I'll hide it in the garage until next spring. I'll get some quick fuel connectors so I Can actually take the tank off without it being such a chore. and while I have my original one off I'll get the nice "fancy" fuel line insulation.
