Still Italian at least, a pic says a thousand words

The fact that it has a wheelbase 8" shorter than a v11 and probably all the carc bikes too. And 400#. Traction control and ABS

I got new to me hyperstrada.

At first I was like " why paint a greenie?" But your scheme looks pretty nice.

That is the anti tamper bolt that goes into the bottom of the Ignition switch or it's mount. Its meant to be not removable . They screw it in then snap the head off. It's not easy to remove but sometimes they loosen up and fall right out.. I once cut a groove in one to get it out with a screw driver.

I thought the cure for the cough was to bin the stock crossover and put on a Mistral.. that's what I did and thought it was fixed.. sadly I no longer own it.

Better yet ask Pete what happens if you ride it hard, do wheelies and run full bore up hill with out the plate.. so not knowing how it was ridden by previous owners I chose not to buy.

Unknown history with at least two owners, no Roper plate.. not willing to take that risk having seen the other bikes he's selling, an Eldo sold a ratty SP project and a nice looking Ducati with lower fairing removed..I didn't get a warm and fuzzy feeling when there.

I've seen it and could only yawn.. if it were a greenie I'd want it more

Yes the starter from MGcycle will fit any v11 or Tonti frame big twin.

To me it looks like a Bassa not EV. Or in later years (2001?) known as a special sport.. late to the party but what's all the discussion over what starter fits? Both the Tonti and V11 big twins use the same Valeo starter.

Why did you take off the headers? Check plug wires/caps.. are they seated in the coils nice and tight.
