Guest phil c Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 Hi, Great site by the way. Loads of really helpful info. Just traded in my BM (bland machine) for a V1100 Sport - georgous. Wanted one for ages since I first saw one. The best looking bike ever and that Guzzi rumble .... Has made me remember why i got into bikes in the first place many years ago! Can anyone tell me where i can get replacement relays - in the uk - as they seem to be a bit of a "character trait" and I'm going on a tour in September and want to get Bella tip top before I go !! Also any idea how to carry a toothbrush and other items on the sport ? Any recommended bespoke luggage? Also any other hints, pearls of wisdom would be gratefully appreciated. Cheers Phil C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gargoyle Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 Welcome aboard I'm still rather new to MG too. I bought an 2004 LeMans in May and I'm out on my first trip now. As for bags I'm running the RKA 36L expandables and so far so good. I left you a link to their site. Good luck with Bella! http://www.rka-luggage.com/pages/09sadbag/saddle.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Phil C 92959[/snapback] Hi Phil Congratulations on your new bike! I buy Omron relays from my dealer in Shipley but places like Maplins stock them too. I use an Agostini rack Agostinis Helen uses the lighter Guzzi rack available from your dealer or Corsa Italiana Corsa Italiana Guzzi also do a decent tankbag- you can't use a magnetic one as the tank is plastic. I use Teckno semi rigid panniers- available either as an official Guzzi item or from Motomecca Motomecca Have fun on the new bike! Guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
