Thanks Man! Waiting for some better weather to get her out and sprinting! Dagersh

Aldo, I believe its the BS722B. the holes are 26mmand I am measuring around 24mm on the bike. You might have to adapt the mount by widening the holes - but it should get you there, Post some pics!!! Gersh

Thanks Guys!, The mirrors are not Rizoma, but thanks for the compliment! They are from an Asian retailer, out of Hong Kong if I remember correctly. EDIT: The link is up top. I did research using Rizoma's, and I found one mount that would work fine. Measure out the distance between your mounting bolts on the fairing and look at the Rizoma offerings. There is one that will fit just fine. On retro spect, I should have gone with the Rizoma's, as the gold of the mirror stalk does not really match up with the gold of the Rizoma Gear, and looks cheaper in comparison. The Hong Kong mirrors were around $100 shipped for the pair as opposed to nearly 3X that for the Rizoma's - but you get what you pay for there. I did notice a Chinese Knock-off brand called Pazoma on Ebay, but don't know much about them. Gersh

Yeah, in case you haven't read it elsewhere on this site, that's why you don't bother changing the filter through that little round door - take off the whole sump plate so you can put the clamp on... well worth the effort A GUys, I saw that on the site and put on the clamp, resting so that the filter could not spin off. Thanks for the great tip! This site rocks! Now onto the other Guzzi's as well! Gersh

MZ - YOu in NYC? Yup,bikes I leave up near New Paltz/Woodstock Awesome - I am in Ancram, right across the River from you!

Luhbo, I accidentally left the old gasket in place when I removed the old filter. Did not realize it, so the new filter had double gaskets. At 2500 RPM, the pump was strong enough to push enough oil to satify the oil light sensor. Problem solved, just took her for a run, and all is well! Gersh

Success!!!!!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!!!!!! Gersh

Whew - found the old gasket! My fishing expeditions in the drain pain did not reveal it, but as I was pouring the oil back into the conatainer - through a filter for good measure - there it was. OK - now to fill her up and see what is to see... Gersh

Alright... I have no idea where the old gasket is. Its not in my drain pan, not in the oil pan, and not on the gasket surface. Weird. I checked the gasket mating surfaceon the bike, nice shiney and clean. I then reinstalled the oil filter and made it very tight using the UFI specific wrench. I am going to put her back together and refill her with oil and see what happens. Wish me luck! Gersh

Ok, Took a look at the old filter, it looks like the gasket is still on the bike. I am draining the sump now, and will pull the new filter and make sure that the old filter gasket is not still in there. Thanks again for everyone's responses! I will update after its all back together and running! Gersh

Guys, Thanks for the quick responses! Have not been running the engine other than to confirm the RPM where the light comes on/goes off, and even then did not let the bike warm up. I will check the old filter - still draining on my pan - so that should be easy enough. The new filter is defintely well beyond hand tight, I used the UFI Specific Filter Wrench with no problems, and I greased up the new seal and threads with clean oil. I will update when I get back to the garage. Thanks again!!!!! Gersh

Hi Guys, I just changed oil and filters on my '03 Rosso Corsa. Everything went smooth, the bike is holding its oil, and the level is perfect read with the dip stick screwed in and the bike is vertical on my work stand. Filter is a UFI, and is nice and tight. Oil is Rotella T 15-40. My oil light is on until 2,500 RPM any higher and all is well.... Did I muck something up? Gersh

Here is the finished product with the mirrors. The Rizoma Throttle works great and feels good as well. I was a bit worried about the fact that the throttle CAM on the Rizoma unit is smaller than stock - but it works just fine, and has full range of travel. The Signal lights are super bright in the daylight, and have lenses on the sides, so they are easily visible from all angles. The mirrors are quality in that they are heavy units and have very little vibration when travelling. Their visibility is excellent as well. You will need to be ready to fiddle with them to get their adjustments, but once there, they will not move themselves out of alignment. Anyway - I am very happy with the results. Would I use these units on one of my early 70's Tonti's? Definitely not... nor on a later Le Mans, Lario or other 80's or 90's model. However, the 1100 Sport is modern enough to carry the Rizoma products. Really, I am submitting this for anyone who would want to use these on later model Guzzi's as the Rizoma catalog makes no mention of being able to be used on our bikes. The Throttle unit can definite be used on early 2000's V11 Sports and Le Mans' as well. Next up will be the Rosso Corsa! Pics: Gersh
