  1. hey, it's his bike and he can do what he wants with it, if someone else buys it then it has value too. I kinda like it in a MadMax way and I could ride pavement w/it, do it all the time on my KLR and Honda's but what a hoot it would be at the hill climb.
  2. the "trick" Sportster.?.. is the trick that it can keep up and not break down?
  3. My friend Teddy has these instead of a garage full of 2 wheelers. they are Charolais (sp?) from France.
  4. Have you re-set the TPS starting all the way from base line?
  5. what he said.... that you ratchet?
  6. Rocker, do you know of the MN 2010? 2010 miles in 2 days, right up your alley, I can put you up. http://teamstrange.com/2010/mn1k/
  7. thanks all, I got a nice set of take offs from JohnBot for 100 bucks, I'm a happy guy!
  8. I have never seen a Guzzi w/that connection. they always vent to air.. the regulator just has a big spring in it, I don't think manifold pressure would have any effect.
  9. you mean that manhole cover comes off?
  10. how do you get that potting material out? then you can fix it right? I have a stock reg that I'd like to try that with.
  11. my 02 is happiest at 5k... can cruise hwy at 4k fine... I rarely see 6th gear.
  12. Make new brackets similar to stock but longer.
  13. thanks for finding that... confirms my choice of the Mistral that I love.
  14. I used to have it w/past Guzzi's but not since I got this 2002 V11Lemans, knock on wood! It's the best Guzzi I've had out of a half dozen...
  15. FYI, you can weigh your tongue w/a fish scale. (wish I were photoshop proficient for that one!) I notice trailer most going in/out driveways with a dip, if the trailer wheels go over it separately you feel a little head shake but your going slow so it is no way upsetting. another thing to consider, safety chain? if so will the trailer bring you down into the ditch or into oncoming if it has a flat or other failure? If you don't safety chain will you be cited by law enforcement? could it break away and kill someone other than you?
  16. I do know the owner and am trying to help him make a sale.. Ralph is a true Guzzi Guru! http://minneapolis.craigslist.org/ram/mcy/1694290494.html
  17. are you sure? my mistral x-over seemed to increase low end and even midrange.. my motor comes alive at 4k now instead of 5k. best improvement I have made.
  18. 1994 SL1 wagon.. uses the same oil filter as all the recent Tonti frame motors!
  19. What pisses me off is this dictator moderator squeezes his way on in just a few years has taken over control.. I like to be able to ask the people stuff about my wife's saturn or hear about Luthiers guitar building etc... but now strictly guzzi or nothing? surely there could be other ways to control the real problem members rather than offend the people who are on the board because of it's broad range of discussion and expertise. giving that power to a recluse on an Island off Alaska with a his own complete set of standards is too much for me so I left.
  20. been watching ebay often and not found any... I was going to get a free set ( I won't mention from who) but he never came through after many emails saying they were ready to ship.. this was a year ago.
  21. I'd like them but won't shipping to the US kill me?
  22. would it be crazy to try to mod these to fit my Lemans? my cans were hacked by the Po and sound lousy. http://minneapolis.c...1700386647.html
